COVID-19, 5G and the place of common sense
No matter the theory anyone is propagating as the reason for the outbreak of the coronavirus and the vulnerability of the human race to it, such a theory should be factual, evidence-based and scientifically proven. If factual, it will help the world to defeat the virus and defend itself against a similar outbreak in the future; if not, the world would wallow in the darkness of ignorance concerning it while also losing what should be the huge benefits.
For example, South Korea which is one of the countries with the highest deployment of the 5G network, deploying to 85 cities as at January, did not suffer any coronavirus infection until February 19, when 27 cases tested positive. The country suffered her highest number of infections, 851, in a day on March 3, but has since experienced a steady decline to the extent that she recorded no single infection on May 6, despite not suspending her 5G deployment.
Although Estonia, like Sweden, went live full blast with 5G in December 2018, the country did not record any case of coronavirus until March 5, when she recorded three cases. That was another one year and three months after the launch of 5G in the country. And since then, the country has experienced a rapid and steady decline in the number of people infected by the virus to the extent that on May 10, the country recorded only six cases.
There is no way the United States of America would not have cancelled her 5G services having recorded the highest number of coronavirus related deaths in the world if truly there was any link between 5G and the virus. These are countries that place premium value on the lives of their citizens and would do anything including outright cancellation of any technology that so much ravages their citizens. It is time to stop being scared of technological advancements; it is time to embrace them.
