From a distance of 1 foot, it penetrates the skin for about 1mm.

From 10 ft it does not penetrate at all.

Just like it has such a hard time penetrating windows/walls/fog and rain.

Yep, I’m not bored either. No stir crazy, at least so far. Plenty of projects to work on, 3 German Shepherds and a very large cat to enjoy and manage.

I had to stop taking care of my friends dogs though. I can’t risk going over there to do that. I miss them very much, the people and the dogs.

either the numbers are way off or . . .

According to NYT today

The number of virus patients in hospitals increased 4 percent since Monday, the fourth straight day that it had grown 7 percent or less after growing at least 20 percent a day for weeks.

The number of patients on ventilators in intensive-care units increased, too, but at the smallest one-day rate in weeks, up 2 percent since Monday.

So, people in the hospital is still increasing, but seems to be reaching peak. Hopefully that number will start coming down soon, then deaths will trend down.

From your link...

...As of Monday afternoon, 2,738 New York City residents have died from ‘confirmed’ cases of COVID-19, according to the city Department of Health. That’s an average of 245 a day since the previous Monday.

But another 200 city residents are now dying at home each day, compared to 20 to 25 such deaths before the pandemic, said Aja Worthy-Davis, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office. And an untold number of them are unconfirmed.

Listen to reporter Gwynne Hogan discuss her story on WNYC:

That’s because the ME’s office is not testing dead bodies for COVID-19. Instead, they’re referring suspected cases to the city’s health department as “probable.”

“If someone dies at home, and we go to the home and there [are] signs of influenza, our medical examiner may determine the cause of death was clearly an influenza-like illness, potentially COVID or an influenza-like illness believed to be COVID,” said Worthy-Davis. “We report all our deaths citywide to the health department, who releases that data to the public.”

But the health department does not include that number in the official count unless it is confirmed, a spokesman said. ..

= =

Well, aside from being heartbreaking, this also puts to rest Candace Owens’, and others/here, claim that nearly ALL deaths are now being classified as CoVid19.

Thanks for that link.

Sweden, which refused to implement a Coronavirus lockdown, has so far avoided a mass outbreak. Now it's bracing for a potential surge in deaths.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3832714/posts

Currently at 591 +114 on worldofmeters. That's a 19.3% increase so far today.

25% = total deaths double every 3 days, 20% = every 4 days, 15% = every 5 days, 10% = about 1 week, 5% = about 2 weeks.

I worked in the military in every conceivable type of RF environment, from 27khz (literally penetrates the earth) up to the super high frequencies of MW and RADAR.

And then as a civilian in every RF environment.

And I’ve been doing it for over 40 years.

While you will choose what you believe, I can tell you it is unmitigated bullshit.

“The higher the Frequency shorter the distance. A person would have to climb a Cell Tower and hug the antenna to get radiated.”

yep, what you said.

I’ve seen the number 15% bandied about in models (there’s that word again) as the number of COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization. 5% is also a number used in some models for those needing ICU care.

Using those percentages on the positive care numbers:

15% of 139,000 = 20,850 (17,493)
5% of 139,000 = 6,950 (4593)

That is a lot closer to the reported hospitalization and ICU numbers being cumulative totals rather than daily bed census numbers.

The Netherlands tried Herd Immunity. Now they have a 10% fatality rate

Don't forget Italy tried to get by with minimal measures too. Several countries have tried, but reality changes their mind. Sweden will begin implementing stricter measures soon, but they will pay a price for the delay just as the Italians and Dutch have.

The Candace Owens claim was insane on its face, because in many (most) jurisdictions there is still a shortage of lab supplies for CV tests, and there is no way most jurisdictions will waste that limited resource on every corpse that shows up in the morgue.

It appears that Alabama does the same - the report deaths and confirmed deaths as two separate numbers.

“this also puts to rest Candace Owens”

Wasn’t that BS circulating on Fox News too?

Who here watches Fox?

See any reports or stories about non-COVID deaths being classified as Covid?

553 deaths.
The average lethality rate is 4,6%
State of São Paulo has 4,866 cases with 304 deaths. The mortality rate in the state is 6,25%”

He looks like he’s been through the wringer, or does he always look like that?

“I had a good friend who worked around a lot of RF emitting equipment in larger DOD server and communications equipment rooms. He died in his 40s of Lou Gehrig’s disease.

I had a cousin who allowed a microwave tower to be installed on his property, about 300 yrds from his home. He died of a similar disease.

I’m not sayin’ that’s what killed them.”

Sorry about your friend and cousin.

Your story though doesn’t show any real cause and effect.

Your story does however highlight that this Corona/5G speculation is just another iteration of long standing conspiracy theories about RF and microwaves. wash rinse repeat it into the news of the day.
