THE APOCALYPSE: THE 5G PANDEMIC AND THE BIRTH OF CORONA VIRUS

THE APOCALYPSE: THE 5G PANDEMIC AND THE BIRTH OF CORONA VIRUS -AYOBAMI ELIAS.

The most recent topical issue in the current global dispensation is the wide spread coronavirus that has plagued and devastated a number of countries worldwide. The birth of the virus can be traced back to December 2019, in the city of Wuhan, China, when public health officials from China informed the World Health Organization that they had a problem; an unknown, new virus that was causing pneumonia-like illness in the city of Wuhan. The Chinese government responded to the initial outbreak by placing Wuhan and nearby cities under a de-facto quarantine encompassing roughly 50 million people in Hubei province.

The virus which started as an epidemic mainly restricted to China, has since become a global pandemic, as there have now been over 1,018,948 confirmed cases and 53,211 deaths, according to the John Hopkins University COVID-19 dashboard. On March 11, 2020, the WHO officially declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic.

“WHO has been assessing this outbreak around the clock and we are deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction” ~ Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus – Director-general, WHO.

In light of recent events, the background to the development of the coronavirus has become questionable, and this is in connection with the emergence of the 5G network.

5G is the new super-fast wireless technology that has been gaining popularity across the globe in recent times, and this is as a result of the new developments that this technology seeks to make possible.

However, since the mention of the 5G network, there have been concerns expressed on the technology’s impact on health, resulting from the fact that it runs on high-frequency radio waves which in turn produces harmful radiation that could cause brain cancer, reduced fertility and a number of other illnesses.

A number of theories have linked the emergence of the corona virus to the 5G network, and this has been reinforced by several videos and a voice note going around on whatsapp, together with the comments of top celebrities on the issue.

These theories find their base in the reports of Russian news outlet, RT America, who have aired a number of programs assailing 5G’s health impacts and the intent behind the emergence of the 5G network. The report of RT America has gained ground as it has been picked up by hundreds of blogs and websites.

The connection between 5G network and COVID-19 is centered around the fact that the virus was believed to have originated from a wet market in Wuhan, China, in November, 2019. Coincidentally, China also turned on some of its 5G networks in November, 2019.

Several theorists also allege that the viral videos of people ‘dropping on the ground and fainting in China’, were a result of the 5G radio waves disrupting the oxygen levels in blood of the general public.

There are also reports that the countries where the 5G network is in use or was in use have recorded a large number of coronavirus victims, as compared to other countries, they include the USA, UK, China, to mention but a few.

The UK government was forced to address this issue on 3 April, 2020, when arsonists burned down a 5G cell tower. In a tweet by the UK’s Department of Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS), it said:

“we are aware of inaccurate information being shared online about 5G. There is absolutely no credible evidence of a link between 5G and coronavirus.” UK government stated.

Trade association Mobile UK joined the DCMS in issuing a statement on the topic, calling the conspiracy theory “baseless” and “not grounded in accepted scientific theory”. It is also important to note that fullfact.org, the UK’s independent fact checking charity has debunked rumors that the 5G network is linked to the coronavirus.

In the absence of any factual support for the theory linking the COVID-19 virus with the 5G network, it can reasonably be said that these theories are baseless.

However, it would wrong to neglect these theories by reason of the fact that they have not been substantiated with evidence.

Also the 5G network is not exactly full proof as there have been health scares arising from the impact that this new network might have on people, and the extent of its impact has always been in doubt.

The most paramount variable to be achieved is the ability to stay cautious, unbiased and unifluenced amidst numerous reports.

Remember to stay safe and healthy!!
