    Weird about the video being taken down. Do you remember the things he said? I wanted to urge Beth to listen to it and comment.

    Neil Ferguson from Imperial College needs to keep his mouth shut.

    Look at that another day, still 135 people recovered in UK, still 163 in critical condition.

    Is there any reason to believe it is potentially more harmful to human life than 4G?

    It’s about blood flow to the head. If you are not used to it 5G can cause you to pass out. The higher the G the bigger the impact - a fighter aircraft accelerating vertically can reach 9G.

    Hang on, I may have misread this discussion.......

    From the little I’ve heard, it’s not simply 3G, 4G, 5G, but that it’s a different technology. I haven’t looked into it too much but I know there are concerns, mainly with the lack of testing that’s been carried out, which may or may not be the reason the BBC report tells us that there’s no proven negative effects.

    I know that various councils have challenged its roll out in the UK as has the health minister in Belgium.

    Too many people with too much time on their hands spreading absolute tosh.

    The mobile phone industry is governed by ICNIRP, the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection. This regulates the power we are allowed to transmit out of an antenna, and what frequencies we can use.

    Here's a good place to start...

    https://www.icnirp.org/en/applications/5g/index.html

    All this talk of radiation is rubbish - mobile towers transmit Non-Ionising radiation. This is drastically different to Ionising radiation, which is highly dangerous and can heat up the molecules deep within your body.

    We are getting daily reports of engineers being abused on site, threatened, and infrastructure vandalised/torched. In the current climate we are trying to increase the connectivity of the nation as everyone at home (school kids, workers, isolators) are very dependant upon their devices to keep in touch with school friends, colleagues and family.

    In the UK, we are using much lower frequencies than other countries (typically 3.4GHz - 3.6GHz) so talk of us mutating people with 60GHz antenna is absolute pish

    The WHO seem relaxed about it so long as it's not overused by anyone. The sun is more harmful, so don't stay out too long in the sun. Same with mobile phones presumably.

    Spoke to my pension advisor during the week and he said that cash flow allowing I should still pay the monthly contribution as this would allow for a greater number of units to be purchased and would then show greater increase when upturn comes...….

    As I've said before on another thread, the roll-out of Huawei is in full flow, and there doesn't seem to any sign of it slowing. It will cost the Operators billions to replace if it does get pulled.

    Nokia and Ericsson are quite a way behind the developers at Huawei (they employ 150,000 people in China, where else would you get those figures of employment?)
