Theories on
social media platforms linking Coronavirus
to 5G results in phone masts
being targeted
ON
Friday, 3 April 2020, mobile phone
masts in Melling, Merseyside, where attacked following:-
"baseless" theories linking Coronavirus to 5G being
posted and aired on social media. As well as the masts being
torched, we are told that engineers are also being abused and
threatened. It was not just Merseyside that had this problem as
phone masts have also been targeted in Sparkhill, Birmingham, on
Thursday, following the 5G Coronavirus claims being pushed
around on social media. Department for Digital, Culture, Media
and Sport (DDCMS) have said that they are aware of inaccurate
information being shared online about a link between 5G and
Coronavirus. The DDCMS added:- "There is absolutely no
credible evidence of a link between 5G and Coronavirus. To
damage infrastructure under the pretence of claims about 5G is
not acceptable. It also hampers the networks ability to provide
critical connectivity to the emergency services, vulnerable
consumers and hospitals, as well as supporting mass home
working."
If you have not already seen the videos, the main claims being
posted are that:- "5G might suppress the immune system"
and the other says the:- "viruses can communicate through radio
waves." Nearly all add that the new Coronavirus is not a
virus, this is in reality just it is a:- "cover story to
hide the damage done by 5G exposure." All these 5g
theories being spread on social media are baseless and have no
grounding in any accepted scientific theory.
Often these "baseless" theories
quote:- 'radiation' as the problem. The use of the
word 'radiation' has led some people to worry about increased
health risks, including developing certain types of cancer, when
talking about radio frequency radiation. Yes, all radio
frequency radiation, including mobile signals are classed as:-
"possibly carcinogenic" by World Health Organisation
(WHO) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC),
but both pickled vegetables and talcum powder are in the same
category. Also, to put it in prospective, both processed meat
and alcoholic drinks are a higher category. It's worth adding
that all the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum, including visible
light are forms of 'radiation.' The frequencies used by
mobile phones, in all mobile networks, including the 5G
networks, are non-ionising radio wave, meaning the wave lacks
sufficient energy to break apart DNA and cause cellular damage.
Queen to
address the nation and commonwealth
QUEEN Elizabeth will be addressing the
nation and the Commonwealth in a rare televised broadcast this
Sunday, 5 April 2020. This will be the 4th televised address of
her 68 year reign, during a time of national grief and crisis.
The special address was pre-recorded at Windsor Castle, where
she is in self isolation. The address will be shown at 8pm, on
TV and also on the the Royal Family's social media channels.
Administration looming for
Debenhams
THE department store Debenhams has existed for 242 years, but the changes
within the retail market has already pushed the firm into the danger zone,
leading to 22 store closures, that included the store on Lord Street, Southport,
but now the Coronavirus crisis has pushed the firm over the cliff. The firm
still employs around 22,000 people, including at stores in Liverpool and
Preston. Currently most of the workforce within the 142 remaining UK stores are
currently furloughed, under the Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme,
but on Friday, 3 April 2020, it was reported that shareholders are now preparing
to go into administration. It is thought that the appointment of
administrators will protect the company from legal claims from creditors as they
try and put the department store chain on:- "a stable financial
footing and ensure the future of the company." Are you affected by the problems at
Debenhams? If yes, please email us your thoughts on this pressing issue to:-
