Well here's a conspiracy for those that love conspiracies, and everyone I know (nearly) is a Trumpie conspiracist. SO my relatives now say.... covid was created to kill off the old folks to save on government funded programs for the old folks like SS and SSI and retirement homes. However, that first covid didn't quite work so the government created this "NEW and improved" covid to make sure the job gets done. And the government dangled the promise of a vaccine, the vaccine which few will ever get, so that people would let their guard down and spread around this covid, this NEW covid mind you, even faster. That's not my conspiracy, but that's what some are now saying. If people needed $2000 for the first round of covid relief they'll need three times that much for the next round of covid relief. It doesn't look like this will end with the demise of Donald Trump, looks like it will go on and on and on. The conspiracies, that is....
Your relatives are insane and need mental help. Seriously.

You should tell them that the US has a bioweapon that is more capable of killing people than CV19 and we have been sitting on a stockpile of it since the late 80s/ early 90s. Weapons-grade Anthrax would kill more people than CV19 and more efficiently too.

If COVID was the best bioweapon the government could come up with then we need to elect a more competent government. :p

Weapons-grade anthrax is your friend.

Probably don't even need to go that far, just contaminate a few water treatment centers with something really bad, you'll probably kill more.

I'll still not exclude the possibility that this was manmade, as I don't think China would itself ever reveal the truth if it was, but the idea that it was maliciously introduced is just stupid.

Maliciously introduced by the government being stupid. "If" this was created in a lab then it was done by people and it just takes one person with ill intent. Regardless of any safety or security protocols that facility would have in place.

I'm genuinely curious to see if Georgia residents get their stimulus checks before other folks.

I got a check last time. Not sure about this time. IRS site to find out about it is down, so I can't check on the check.

I've a bunch that aren't far removed from that.

The alt-reality bubble is strong, and once belief is the only guiding principle - anything goes via social media. Anything.
If it sounds good, it feels good, it IS good. The infallible word of god. Any challenges are just lies. Theirs is the only truth.

The world has witnessed the birth of a new religion in America.

We have a few bioweapons in our arsenal that would do the trick if we were to ever do that.
