Again, there is no scientific evidence supporting the claim that 5G is harmful to human health.

Also, 5G is in no way related to the Coronavirus, which is why the 5G topic should have its own thread.

Idiots are burning down 5G towers in Birmingham and elsewhere because of the ridiculous idea that " they are causing/spreading coronavirus ".

My idea exactly!
They didn't listen to the people. Hardly anyone wanted 5G, they don't give a toss and get it up and running anyway.
Getting exposed to all these waves day in day out is bad enough as it is, no need to make it worse.
So let them burn the MF down, hihi. They got my support!

"I think people are going to have to wear masks until there's a vaccine. I mean that to be completely blunt," Shan, a Yale University lecturer and an immunologist by training, said in an interview with AccuWeather. "I think the next best would be through the end of the epidemic. It definitely needs to be moving past peak."

Shan cautioned that the threat from the new coronavirus does not suddenly vanish with a peak in cases.

"I don't think this threat is going to go away. It's hopefully going to manageable," Shan, who is also the managing director of Pharos Global Health Advisors in Boston, said. "Especially if we are able to rapidly increase testing and really strengthen contact tracing and keep people who are infected isolated."

The cultural differences between the U.S. and some east Asia countries when it comes to mask-wearing has been a crucial component of this debate, Shan said. In some Asian countries, Shan said, not wearing a mask when you're sick is seen as rude. Or as one person summed it up to The Wall Street Journal about mask-wearing in Hong Kong, "Not wearing masks in Hong Kong is like not wearing pants."

"It still needs to come up a lot more, though, but I think the more people who adopt it, the less stigmatizing it will be," she said. "It's a big cultural thing to have to reverse here ... It's just not a norm that's done and it's a norm that needs to change in a really trying time."

"I think we're going to see here in the U.S. that states that are really slow to adopt some of these basic things are really going to pay for it in a couple weeks," Shan predicted.

"When somebody says you should wear a mask for 12-18 months, we should say, 'Wait a minute. It depends. If you’re in New York City, yeah, probably so," Myers said, adding that he thought the same might not be necessary for those in sparsely populated areas.

Part of Shan's insistence on mask-wearing for both the infected and uninfected is to further reinforce the concept of social distancing. She said she feared warmer summer months pushing more people outside and into closer proximity.

Shan also pushed against the idea that masks will be more uncomfortable or difficult to wear once temperatures rise.

"I can't say that it would be worse [to wear] in the summer. I think the greater threat with nicer weather is just people going outside more. I think the other thing that people need to really understand is that masks don't make you invincible. There is no 100 percent safe way to go outside, even with hand-washing, masks and social distance," she cautioned.

"We don’t want people to get an artificial sense of protection, because they’re behind a mask.”

"The virus doesn't respect state borders so those of us in states that are doing better can't be smug," Shan said. "You know there's going to be little brush fires that can come from slower states and ignite new epidemics and in our states. No one is safe."

Dear Fellow Member‚
We know the COVID‐19 pandemic is having a financial impact, and we're taking action to ease the burden. Every member with an auto insurance policy in effect as of March 31, 2020, will receive a 20% credit on two months of premiums in the coming weeks. All told, we're returning about $520 million.
We're able to pass on those savings because your efforts to stay home during the pandemic have meant fewer drivers on the road, which means fewer accidents and claims.
You will receive a credit applied to your bill. There is no need to call or take any action.

There have been reports of:
• Individuals and businesses selling fake cures for COVID-19 online and engaging in other forms of fraud
• Phishing emails from entities posing as the World Health Organization or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
• Malicious websites and apps that appear to share virus-related information to gain and lock access to your devices until payment is received.
• Seeking donations fraudulently for illegitimate or non-existent charitable organizations.
Criminals will likely continue to use new methods to exploit COVID-19 worldwide.
If you think you are a victim of a scam or attempted fraud involving COVID-19, you can report it without leaving your home through a number of platforms. Go to:
• Contact the National Center for Disaster Fraud Hotline at 866-720-5721 or via email at disaster@leo.gov
• Report it to the FBI at tips.fbi.gov
• If it’s a cyber scam, submit your complaint through the Internet Crime Complaint Center or get more information at the Federal Trade Commission's Consumer Information website.
Avoid Coronavirus Scams. Here are some tips to help you keep the scammers at bay:
• Hang up on robocalls. Don’t press any numbers. Scammers are using illegal robocalls to pitch everything from scam Coronavirus treatments to work-at-home schemes. The recording might say that pressing a number will let you speak to a live operator or remove you from their call list, but it might lead to more robocalls, instead.
• Ignore online offers for vaccinations and home test kits. Scammers are trying to get you to buy products that aren’t proven to treat or prevent the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) — online or in stores. At this time, there also are no FDA-authorized home test kits for the Coronavirus. Visit the FDA to learn more.
• Fact-check information. Scammers, and sometimes well-meaning people, share information that hasn’t been verified. Before you pass on any messages, contact trusted sources. Visit What the U.S. Government is Doing for links to federal, state and local government agencies.
• Know who you’re buying from. Online sellers may claim to have in-demand products, like cleaning, household, and health and medical supplies when, in fact, they don’t.
• Don’t respond to texts and emails about checks from the government. The details are still being worked out. Anyone who tells you they can get you the money now is a scammer.
• Don’t click on links from sources you don’t know. They could download viruses onto your computer or device.
• Watch for emails claiming to be from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or experts saying they have information about the virus. For the most up-to-date information about the Coronavirus, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
• Do your homework when it comes to donations, whether through charities or crowdfunding sites. Don’t let anyone rush you into making a donation. If someone wants donations in cash, by gift card, or by wiring money, don’t do it.
Check out the U.S. Department of Treasury's COVID-19 Scams website for more information.
If you receive calls, emails, or other communications claiming to be from the Treasury Department and offering COVID-19 related grants or stimulus payments in exchange for personal financial information, or an advance fee, or charge of any kind, including the purchase of gift cards, please do not respond.
These are scams. Please contact the FBI at www.ic3.gov so that the scammers can be tracked and stopped.

At least actual science is being used to fight the coronavirus.
There is already too much quackery being promoted as a cure.
