Covid 19 in 2018?

[Thor]

so it seems we've been sold a big lie. Look at the link as it appears we were buying testing kits in 2018 and further back in 2017. What the hell is going on?

My guess is the forward slash in the description is what is relevant there.

So you're seriously suggesting that there was no use of medical test kits, instruments etc. prior to COVID-19? Is it really so strange to imagine that existing equipment used in testing other viral infections (SARS, MERS, flu etc.) could have been repurposed for COVID-19 testing?

It's even spelled out on the page: "previously existing medical devices".

Anyone seen that new film - “Dumb and dumber & Thor”

They were purchased in 2018!! So they were buying in the testing kits before we even knew covid19 was a thing. Pre planned I’d say.

It has been explained twice to you, you great big numbskull. The description was something like covid tests/reagents for diagnostic tests. The forward slash being well understood shorthand for or. The tests exported in 2018 were other diagnostic tests or reagents for their use, someone recently has amended the description to include covid tests, you may have noticed its been quite a big deal recently, as that's the way databases work it has changed the description for historic exports.

It's a bit like how we used to order a small amount of gloves for work and they were coded as medical supplies for budgeting, we now order huge amounts and as we can't distinguish what is used purely in relation to covid they are now all coded as covid related costs

Someone has now changed the description back to medical test kits, which in your world is probably evidence of a cover up rather than someone having to make sure thicko'a don't get overly excited.

Yeah that’s what they would say...

Probably changed as it was picked up on twitter and was spreading like wildfire.

This.

They got found out, and are just covering their tracks.

I mean, just for the sake of it let's pretend there isn't an obvious answer to this that doesn't involve the government of almost every country being able to keep things quiet, despite asking everyone down to purchasers of medical supplies to be involved, and then having been able to keep everything secret for two years accidently slipping up by letting it be known they've been ordering test kits for years, instead of perhaps having the slightest bit of cunning and calling it something else. Maybe divoc 91 tests or something as it's well known these secret cabals with access to the most sophisticated encryption known to man can't resist a bit of writing something backwards.

Let's imagine that's the case. Then how the f*** does this even fit into the rest of your batshit crazy theories of it being a Chinese bioweapon AND not real because it's actually caused by 5G AND made by Bill Gates for some reason I can't remember now? Seriously, I'm genuinely intrigued.

Shame they didn’t buy more of them when they were warned about a pandemic about 3 years ago

[Real Al]

Jeez, I know your schtick is to be disingenuous, but you only have to click on the classified link to see what's going on.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Also, what’s the point being made here, Thor?

That the government knew that Covid was going to be ‘released’ but bought up supplies to treat people for it? Seems a bit pointless to release a virus and then buy up medicine to stop it spreading.

Or am I missing something?

[Mick McQuaid]

I think it's the same reason the Chinese government with their near unlimited resources came up with a bioweapon that was actually a bit sh*t as a bioweapon.

I'm really struggling to tell whether thor is a wum or just incredibly thick. If it's the former he's doing a good job.
