Thread: Corona Virus

This article seems like a good summary of the situation in Victoria.

Why it's significant that Victoria is the only state with community transmission of COVID-19
How community transmission is very different to locally acquired coronavirus - ABC News

Its interesting that a couple of weeks ago Premier Andrews was being criticised for being too cautious about re-opening, but now some of the same people are criticising him for not being restrictive enough. Poor bloke can't win.

Here's a good explanation about 5G.

It needs a thorough investigation but who to do it is the big problem?. An "Independent" body? Yeah right. Chinese?

Who is going to put their hand up in 20 years time & say " Oh yeah,I/We caused that?" Spot on, nobody.

Or the WA premier who not only locked borders but prohibited movement within WA?

Considering that WA is several times the size of VIC it makes absolute sense to break the state down into different regions and isolate them, QLD and the NT did a similar thing and they saved countless lives by doing this.
It is Not at all surprising that VIC is having problems containing this virus with many of their people having a ME ME ME attitude and ignoring the safeguards and to hell with everyone else.

Thanks WD3. That is enlightening but time will tell the true story one day I suppose. I am not anti 5G, nor am I pro 5G, I simply do not know.

I just hope the Comms Towers behind my gaff are directing their waves somewhere else for now.

[QUOTE=4bee;3011588]There seems to so little known about 5G & it's effects /QUOTE]

All that is needed to know is that the RF spectrum used by 5G is mostly identical to that used by existing phone services. In addition to this, some services use millimetre wavelengths, and elementary knowledge of wave propagation theory tells us that this will have less physiological effect than will the frequencies that are already in use, and have been for decades. The fuss about physiological effects of 5G are a complete beatup.

But then so, to a large extent is the telecom companies advertising of super fast speeds. These will never be available except in the most densely populate city centres, for most of us, there will be at best a modest boost in performance - although it needs to be pointed out that the performance you get in practice has very little to do with the technology involved, and is mostly dependent on how many others are on the same tower at that particular time, and what they are using it for.

TAFE gutted itself, offering courses that didn’t meet standards etc.

Heck, years ago I took over teaching the Hydraulics 1 & 2 courses from the facilitator when it was demonstrated he knew nothing about the topic and was teaching outdated information.

I wish TAFE would step up its game, although now with so many RTOs it has serious competition.

5G is simply a technology standard. Like 4G it's a way of dealing with radio waves to provide mobile phone service. In the case of 5G the wavelengths being used are higher up the frequency spectrum than 4G but it's still not ionising radiation. So it's no more likely to cause problems than 4G, that is to say, none.

Please clearly explain to me how 5G would cause a virus to propagate and then spread.

Specifically, please explain how 5G would cause the SARS-CoV2 virus to spread.

If it affected health so that we were more vulnerable to viruses then we'd be knee deep in viral infections. But we're not.

Oh, and BTW, it was the Russians who were spreading the lies about 5G, as an intelligence exploit.


Maybe have a read of this.

5G is being rolled out in Australia. Is the radiation safe? - Hack - triple j

Given that you're in Geraldton how would you know what Victorians are doing?

If all Victorians had the attitude you're describing then the State would be in meltdown, not the situation we have now with isolated outbreaks.


It's truly bizarre that people are trying to ascribe the outbreak on what are basically nationalistic grounds - "oh, all Victorians are like that". What happened to Australia as a country?
