Four telecommunications companies said the baseless claims about the link between 5G and coronavirus have led to abuse of company engineers and, in some cases, prevented essential network maintenance from taking place.

An attack on cellphone towers in the United Kingdom over the weekend comes as conspiracy theory connecting 5G to the spread of coronavirus continue to gain momentum on social media.

"Please help us make this stop,’’ the companies said in its joint statement, asking for public assistance. A video has surfaced on social media of workers being harassed by a woman claiming the technology “kills people.”

People, in general, are so so dumb.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

When the media protests something so hard, it may be true......interesting. What if it’s true that 5G is the real problem? What if?

Oh great, destroy the internet infrastructure while everyone is isolated at home. Wtf is wrong with people 🙄

This is the result of government and media fooling people all the time. Now people believe this crazy thing.

One of these days/months/yrs, instead of a census, we should do a thorough moron count so we wont be shocked when something like this 5G conspiracy happens, or to use it for accurate predictions of the winners of political races.

The whole irony is that these dumb-dumbs use the internets (which is what 5G facilitates) to post their non-sensical bullshit. Let them live with dial up modems, snail mails and bulletin boards. They also are not allowed to carry cell phones or use Facebook for that matter

Good Grief! Home confinement is driving the crazies mad.

Might be a slight maybe,I could see radiation, but Coronavirus and radiation isn't proven yet,5G might be causing migraines if phone is by your head in bed,etc that's what they should be looking into, anyway 5G isn't too impressive G climb is getting to expensive/overpriced hype

Trump sabotaged the Chinese business with 5G, the Chinese virus is Chinese revenge. this is the REAL LINK

Michigan governor taking part in killing people telling them its ok to go play the Michigan lottery no need to stay indoors durning Corona Virus lottery remains up and running so governor is in way over head AG also doesn't care but picks on all other businesses and customers .

There is no shortage of goth find find thousand

Smh...

This seriously needs to stop! There is no link between 5G and/or coronavirus Whoever started this rumor is doing it for their own personal benefit

They should slow their roll with that 5g shit until experts know more about it.
