Busy concocting a spell to parse the covid-19 genome, obviously.

I've been working on a way to convert human error into power. It's a renewable resource.

Lots of job security that way. We'll be employed beyond retirement. Look at the COBOL fiascoes.

Why? It was always easy to catch a virus at a hotspot.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

It has to do with a hatred for China and it's 5G presence in the UK, etc.
I get why they did it, just don't approve of them "actually" doing it. Healthier ways to voice your frustration with doing business with communist China.

It's aggressive, political, racist talk like that that led to CP's Chinese forum being abandoned.
Because of that, an awful lot of very good Chinese developers won't be contributing to the site or viewing its ads.
Wasn't scaring women away enough?

I'm going to have to dig up some of these conspiracy theory sites, the level of idiocy coming out of them sound amusing.

and contribute to their SEO? AFAIK, search engines don't discriminate between the clicks of rabid followers and the sceptical/curious.

Why not? With better PageRank, more people get to laugh at these guys. If people fall for them, that invokes Darwin in some way
"'Do what thou wilt...' is to bid Stars to shine, Vines to bear grapes, Water to seek its level; man is the only being in Nature that has striven to set himself at odds with himself."

Sadly, more people will start believing that crap than laugh at it.

Just look up "david icke". You won't know whether to laugh or bang your head against your desk -- but will probably end up doing both.

It's the sheerest kind of stupidity. If China wanted to spy on western citizens, it's got millions of iphones, ipads, and android tablets it can call on, not to mention all the computers, laptops, IoT and other st*ff that we import from there -- the US alone did almost USD 800 milliard (Leftpond: billion) in trade with China in 2018.
A few million for the best and most advanced 5G tech is a drop in the ocean of that, and, since it's under so much scrutiny, you can bet the bottom dollar of that 800 milliard that they'll be very careful not to add anything that even looks like it shouldn't be there.
But what the Hell, let's spread rumours that 5G can spread the coronavirus, and stick with 4G, while the rest of the world moves on without us.
