5G is a bad idea in general so it’s not the worst that covid might end it.


it’s literally a protocol that has devices speak to and trust other devices the same way they do cell towers, with numerous exploits found before implementation. it’s only being pushed to create a surveillance state; no one’s still bitching about cell data speeds.

Wait what , I don't understand the device connecting part here

How is that even possible? We were never the target? It's for rich boomers and rich boomers can still afford to buy it

Is it explicitly because we never reached our "spending potential" or something based on previous generational trends? Because of course a bunch of people still paying off loans are gonna be drinking yellowtail by the liter

Funnily enough CNBC has been one of the better sources of covid news for me the last few weeks

Anyway let's see what's happening:

Trump is apparently trying to play down the timeline for a vaccine lol

Unemployment is still climbing in China even though they did a good job of dealing with the virus

Millions of additional Americans will retire in poverty because of the virus and won't be able to recover financially gym this period

Gavin Newsom says California may not be able to open schools THIS FALL!!!

Alex Azar is openly lying about not seeing spikes in places that are reopening

Wuhan is up to 225,000 daily tests. This is like double the nationwide numbers in America lol

Like look at this:

"And if we don't, we're going to be like so many other cases where you had a problem come in, it'll go away at some point, it'll go away," Trump said. "It may flare up and it may not flare up, we'll have to see what happens, but if it does flare up we're going to put out the fire and we'll put it out quickly and efficiently. We've learned a lot."

The president had been asked about his comments earlier in the event, when he said, "Vaccine or no vaccine, we're back. And we're starting the process. In many cases, they don't have vaccines and a virus or a flu comes and you fight through it."



He's still claiming the vaccine is coming but now he's preparing his audience to not care if there's no vaccine because It'll Go Away

to deal w capacity issues there are plans to bounce signal through devices with good coverage to devices in bad coverage. hence why 5g is a big part of automation, devices can talk straight to each other if they’re within range.

which means you’re trusting other devices the same way you trust a cell tower right now (which is p much blind faith, that’s why stingrays are a thing).

now you might be saying “why even loving bother, I can stream tv on my phone just fine” which is what everyone else is saying. it’s getting pushed by governments to spy on people. the us isn’t claiming China is gonna use 5g to spy on us out of baseless racism, it’s projection and racism.

I think someone predicted a thread or two ago that the USA would do the worst possible thing in terms of the economy and death, by having ineffective lockdowns followed by opening up prematurely. Good thing that didn't happen.

the virus is going to directly suppress lots of retail, travel, tourism and service industries for 2 years, then a recovery will begin to occur but probably not quickly because everyone will be too broke from wage losses and plague bills or cautious about spending money in such an environment

Sounds like it is over and needs to open up to save the economy. People will die and be crippled. This is life. 100k dead is all and that isn't a big deal.

he tested negative twice and was released back to his assisted living place

that same night, he was found unconscious there, re-hospitalized, and guess what? he's got the roni again, testing positive

The first were in 1980 (most notably Sierra Nevada), but that's because homebrewing was only made legal on a federal level the previous year. At its nadir in diversity in the late '70s I believe there were as few as 19 brewing companies in the United States.

anecdotal, but worrisome

i have friends who have it too and they are recovering, and have officially been released from quarantine after only a single negative test (because there aren't enough tests to test 'em twice)

they want to think they can't get it again but i'm trying to convince them they're not necessarily immune OR non-infectious

Doesn't cytokine storm happen around the 7-10 day mark after people start feeling better

If they're not keeping people hospitalized that long, then yeah they're going to crash and burn eventually

If someone is admitted and treated for less than a week, I don't think it's possible for a test to show negative unless the tests are faulty - the body can't clear the virus that fast

Good news - most of the tests are faulty!
