these objects do not affect physical reality in any measurable way/
Neither does a lot of things in space, if they did we would have done conquered it by now. We've come a long way since the wagon wheel, back then if you'd told people one day we will fly like birds in the sky you'd been taken as seriously lacking sense of physical reality in any measurable way.
I don't think this virus is a hoax at all. I think it's dead serious on. I was going to write my own take on it, probably still will. People will probably think I've lost my mind even considering that government(s) would unleash such a thing onto the world deliberately but you have to consider what was at stake here. The whole global agenda was going down the tubes. You had people taking to the streets by the thousands in some countries raging against globalization, the loss of jobs, immigration and slave labor, then came Trump, millions of people across the country pouring into ventures in displeasure of the status quo. Decades of being beaten down by the globalization agenda. They have done just about everything they could think of to stop him and the support behind him, it failed. As sad as it is to think they'd unleash a virus so they could separate him from his base to me that is exactly what it would have taken to intervene and attempt to "deprogram" so to speak his followers. I think one has to read between the lines rather carefully of what was said and by whom it was said to any feel this is plausible, but it's much more plausible to assume then some scenario that any time soon they'll be trying to unleash flying spaghetti monsters out of the sky.
Despite that I reckon Trump is just part of one of the factions, rather than some saviour of the common man, I strongly agree with your assessment here, generally. I note that by all appearances the flying spaghetti monster threat is about to be seriously used to further divide and destroy society. You are quite right it's implausible, but plausibility seems to hold no allure for some, when the shiny approval of authority figures beckons.
I finally got around to writing a "take" on it, one where, in my opinion, the objective opinion seem to fit.
