I've been inundated with WhatsApp messages and conspiracies about 5G. It's utterly insane here. You heard about the 5G towers that were attacked right? I honestly don't know what to think, but it's become a focus of attention that's for sure. It worries me that there doesn't seem to have been much research done to confirm human and animal safety. All for the mighty dollar?? Insane. When will we ever learn...
Yeah, I saw they burned one down in Liverpool. Not sure of the health element though - I'll have to read more about it. Just be mindful though, that there was similar chatter re: 3G and 4G... although probably to a far lesser degree.
Yup. But my understanding is that there's a quantum more radiation coming from these 5G networks. There's even a WhatsApp clip going around of a guy walking around with sensors (seemed like a Geiger counter but that doesn't make sense for microwaves [?]) showing where the 5G network had been laid in an UK urban setting. I've also watched some lectures from concerned academics. They seem worried, so hard for me not to be
There might be valid concerns mate... they do seem in a hell of a rush with this... but equally there have been some weird wild theories being flung around about 5G and Coronavirus. Unfortunately, some of the wacky nonsense totally clouds more legitimate concerns.

I think this is an expected outcome of the pandemic. It forces resource prioritisation towards covid-19 and the delay of other vital operations. It's the system overload everyone was talking about. Is there a particular point you're making? Just trying to understandJust as in many places in the USA.....many hospitals in the UK are vacant.
NHS hospitals have four times more empty beds than normal
NHS hospitals have four times more empty beds than normal
Tens of thousands of NHS hospital beds remain unoccupied amid the coronavirus crisis - about four times the normal number - due to huge ongoing efforts to free up space, and a slowdown in admissions from other causes.
but this was expected Cali. I'm not sure what the suspicions are. This is precisely what experts predicted. Imagine going in for a heart operation and you get infected by the virus. It's a lethal combination. This is the problem with a novel virus where there are no known palliatives. You can go in for one thing and be killed by something else. Not every country has the sheer resource scale of China which was able to select isolate hospitals for non-covid cases. Also remember that a significant proportion of medical practitioners are being infected by the virus as well. It's complexThere are two points:
1) There are hospitals all over the place that are empty. This runs counter to the narrative that hospitals are at risk of overflowing with COVID patients. Blaming this all on a "re-prioritization" is a copout. I'm not talking about empty orthopedic clinics. We're talking about empty hospitals all over the place that are going so far as to lay off workers.
2) The patterns here are highly suspicious. This very short article raises those questions.

Except for treating Covid-19, many hospitals seem to be eerily quiet.

not sure what you read, but it's exactly what was predicted. No doubt there have been many pieces on this. But this is what you get when you get an overload of health care systems
Well that's not happening because the vast majority of non-covid cases are being deferred. I know several people who have had medical prodedures delayed indefinitely. I'm not quite sure what conspiracy people are looking for. I'm tempted to pose the question, what exactly should governments do? Just ignore the pandemic, and have business as usual? What exactly is this alternative that some people are arguing for? I'm really confused
not really engaging here. I'm just going to point out something you have done repeatedly. You have not provided an alternative you've pointed out an aspirational outcome. I want you to be brave here. Man up and tell us, with specificity, what your alternative plan would have been. HOW do you deal with this pandemic without causing massive unemployment. Show us all you're as smart as you think you are and come up with an answer for us please
