Why Conspiracy Theorists are Dangerous!
Have a look at the picture above (I took it this evening). I originally thought that it was an impressive kind of cirrus cloud. However, on closer inspection, I have it on good authority from no one of consequence, that it is Covid 19 droplets. They were released by a Chinese 5G network in a bid to zombify us all and shut down the economy.
