U.K. Cellphone Towers Ablaze As Conspiracy Theories Link 5G Networks To COVID-19
NPR ^ | 4/4/2020 | Jason Slotkin

Posted on 04/06/2020 9:31:41 AM PDT by Zenyatta

Conspiracy theories tying 5G networks to the coronavirus pandemic are troubling telecom authorities in the United Kingdom and are being cited as possible motivation for multiple cellphone tower fires this week.

Fires on at least three towers have been reported over the past few days. In at least two instances, accompanying videos and online posts are raising concerns that the attacks may be linked to conspiracy theories that cast 5G networks as the actual cause of COVID-19.

Yeah, someone sent Mrs rktman a video yesterday of the “IT’S THE 5G CAUSING ALL THE SICKNESS!” line. No doubt certain frequencies can do damage at certain levels.

Telecoms are deploying 5G where population density is high.
COVID spreads best where population density is high.

Therefore 5G causes COVID?????

Um, no.

How do they know it’s not just a delayed effect of 3G or 4G? /s

There ain’t much flammable inside the fence of a US 5G or 4G tower. You could do damage with a Molotov, but the tower infrastructure would be REALLY hard to ignite.

Nothing like making "shelter in place" a little more unbearable by cutting off Internet connectivity.

Here’s my question:

If 5G is in all hospitals( and I work in one) then why aren’t docs, nurses and patients dying and going crazy? None of these people answer it and start the name calling. Seems they don’t understand either or am I just a dunce?

5G is microwaves, the same as in your oven.

It doesn’t cause infection, but microwaves cause cell membranes to become more permeable, therefore more susceptible to infection.

I do not believe the theory, but at least one theory is that the virus itself can be spread to many people but is not necessarily active and harmful. Until exposed to 5G. The radio waves “turn the virus on” and people get sick and then contagious in a more traditional way.

The theory (I think) is that the virus is able to “go everywhere” without detection and then explode suddenly into a massive pandemic. If you avoid exposure to the virus (as people who work in hospitals are trying to do) then the 5G network won’t have anything to “activate” in your bloodstream.

But I think it’s very tinfoil hat stuff.

Perhaps the towers are self-immolating.

I’m just not seeing it. Is it just the towers themselves? There’s enough fears in the world without this. A relative is spewing this stuff but he also believes asteroids and planet Nibaru is coming and a half dozen other fringe tin foil things...oh an chem trails spewing lithium and strontium.
