OPINION: 5G and COVID-19: The technology, conspiracy and ignorance

One would ordinarily have dismissed the “controversy” around 5G technology and the strange connection with COVID-19 being stridently pursued by some people as ignorant rants occasioned by the morbid fear of the rampaging coronavirus, but with the prevailing circumstances of fear and tension, I have elected, as one familiar with the workings of the telecommunications industry, to say something.

So, while we are keeping safe, we must remain vigilant and ever ready to challenge Fake News and outright lies wherever and whenever. Continuing, the technology research and development company says “5G will deliver new levels of performance and efficiency that will empower new user experiences and connect new industries. 5G will deliver multi-Gbps peak rates, ultra-low latency, massive capacity, and more uniform user experience.”

C. Massive Internet of Things: 5G will seamlessly connect a massive number of embedded sensors in virtually everything through the ability to scale down in data rates, power and mobility to provide extremely lean/low-cost solutions. I’m keeping them safely in iCloud! Now to the conspiracies around 5G and the untenable and fallacious connections to the Coronavirus pandemic.

I would rather not rehash the claims and allegations by those who are behind the fallacious pretensions to intellectualism, so we do not lend further currency and even credence to them, but suffice it to say that the Conspirators refer to two theories to support the claim that 5G accelerates the new coronavirus.

The DCMS pointed to research debunking the supposed link between 5G and the coronavirus, as well as links discussing the actual cause of the infection — direct exposure to COVID-19 particles spread through physical contact, not radio waves. Continuing, it said: “The theories that are being spread about 5G on social media are baseless and are not grounded in accepted scientific theory. Research into the safety of radio signals including 5G, which has been conducted for more than 50 years, has led to the establishment of human exposure standards including safety factors that protect against all established health risks.”Like the previous generations of wireless network technology , 5G mobile data is transmitted over radio waves.

The frequency of this new wireless technology remains very low: the maximum levels of electromagnetic radiation measured by Ofcom were about 66 times smaller than the safety limits set by international guidelines. Public Health England states that “the overall exposure is expected to remain low relative to guidelines and, as such, there should be no consequences for public health.”

.....be you can at least make a little sense. If Corona virus affect people in locations where there is no 5G, common sense should tell that and infected persons can spread the viruses in those locations.

Obviously this is enlighten to fools like you who get one sided information, to say that radiation from commutation stations had no effect of human health is big enough reason to disregard every thing you have said, go and make better and complete, all inclusive research, may...

Nice pice for those ignoramus

So we're did Coro came from!

Great content with poor analogy, I would advise Punch to do more research on this and come back later. We can't be more scientifically informed than the whites. Not a scientist but I read alot so I can't conclude that 5G is the cause of Covid19, maybe there is a connection.

5G comes to Nigeria needs at least 5 years.Because 5G needs plenty of basestations,like 100 times of 4G,the cost will be high,with the the population of smart phone users in Nigeria network provider will be difficult to get profit.

Dis is end time.

This is conspiracy theory. Although it’s all started from China,but it is not scientifically proven that this is a biological weapon.People should stop spreading false news so that they don’t start killing innocent Chinese citizens worldwide.They have been a good and helping hand

I also hv my reservations abt 5G safety but none of them is remotely linked with Corona virus.

If you like speak english from now till tomorrow, we don't need 5G in Nigeria, what we need is stable electricity and good roads, we are okay with 4G.

DaddyFRZ peep this

We are gradually awakening. Most people just read topic and comment without researching. You have your search engine, just take 3hrs off everything and make your findings. Then come back to comment.

I still yet to understand this conspiracy

If you are cognisance with biblical prophecies, you will know that some of these technologies are heading us towards amagedom as recorded in the book of Revelation. How comes solution to an ailment is stayhome, and Africa with lesser case is the guinea pig for the vaccine? Tink

Wait for it to be luch in Africa then see the rate of death

FemiMatthew11

Behind every conspiracy, there's always an element of truth.

Speechless

The random serendipity of time & occurrence btw the 5G & COVID-19 is actually a concern. Tech development is always ahead of man & so we must play with caution. 5G is Chinese, COVID-19 is Chinese, both are recently occurring & together. Why is this article citing the UK alone?

Bible Prophecy is here o! Skin Implant!!! God have mercy...

The funny part of it all is that even the so called developed countries are the ones burning mast and towers. Ignorance is not continent egoistic.

But what is the ignorance about this conspiracy theory of 5G network most Doctors rejected this that its affect Human negatively .the why should will accept it please?

Why is 5g trending I still don't know

Watch it.
