In current situation these engineers are probably only out fixing vulnerable people phone line or critical business lines like to a hospital.

It's time to lock up the morons who are posting the fake garbage on YouTube and elsewhere.
They are effectively inciting their viewers to carry out acts of domestic terrorism. 

DoaM

One can easily imagine such people also being Creationists and Flat-Earthers.

It would make far more sense to lock up the morons who believe the garbage they watch on Youtube (and read on other social media).

Foolish people made worse by these 'Insta' celebs who seem to be promoting it. Hopefully the action by the government and Networks nip this in bag.
When I first heard about the theory I was really intrigued  to see how they would rationalise this. Even though 5G frequencies are a shorter wavelength and therefore higher energy, they are still non-ionising which means they cannot easily break chemical bonds.(DNA/Protein/Pretty much any object). Added to that is the radio energy on organic matter is rarely selective, it would have affected most organs if that was the cause/accelerant for corona.

Mmwave is the highest 5g wavelength. You are more at risk from sunlight

Just because some form of EM radiation is non-ionising does not mean that it cannot break chemical bonds. That's why we have infra-red heaters and microwave ovens.

So would you stick your hand in a microwave oven while it's operating?

Not sure where i stand on the safety of it all to be honest.

I do know that i never used to suffer with migraines at all until my early-mid 20s which looking back was around the time my workplace had a big mobile phone mast stuck in a field at the back of the building. I would get minimum one migraine per week for months until i was put on medication for it.

Coincidence perhaps, who knows. I'm not saying it is the mast that causes it. I only ever get the migraines at work though, never at home, even when i've been at home on long periods of time off. Could just be a wild coincidence.

Still, this will be why i heard some BT announcement on the radio then saying to pretty much leave their employees alone as they're doing vital work. World gone mad.

But the cooking is caused by heating, not by radiation.

Do you believe CV19 was created by 5G masts?
