Wuhan Killer Sneeze (thanks Tea)

But assuming it's an inverse square law, then 100m away it's decreased by 100 x 100 = 10,000. Ten to the 9 divided by 10 to the 4 is 10 to the 5... so I'm guessing that if you were on top of the pole they would only need to ramp it up one hundred thousand times give or take.

EU Briefing, 2020: The appeal recommends a moratorium on the deployment of 5G for telecommunications until potential hazards for human health and the environment have been fully investigated by scientists independent of industry

 

[Mr. Tea]

Well, I already know about the risks of mobile phone use.

Which are?

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Which are?

Googling things for Mr Tea?

I was working on the basis that a change from 100 m to 6 m (which is what m_b said) is more or less an order of magnitude change. But I don't know if you can even get within 6 m of the active part of the tower. They're normally quite high off the ground, for one thing, even assuming you can approach the base of the mast.

Well the null hypothesis is that mobile phone use is harmless, wouldn't you say?

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Has to be

 

[Mr. Tea]

Given that, you know, billions of people around the world use mobiles, and have done for years, and the epidemic of brain cancers we were warned about 20 years ago has singularly failed to materialize.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

This is a part-for-the-whole dismissal attempt, similar to the only-mask-harm-is-blood-oxygen argument.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Well do you have evidence to the contrary?

I assume you're implying some direct health effect caused by their use, not people who get run over because they were glued to their phone while crossing the road etc.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

I'm not especially interested in expanding on this in the Covid thread; get those Googling digits working!

 

[Mr. Tea]

Well have you get anything to back up your claim about the risks of mobile phone use?

So that's it? "Do your own research", the rallying cry of the credulous the world over?

just install 5g in my area fucks sake

 

[yyaldrin]

what can you do with 5g that you can't do with 4g?

 

[IdleRich]

Well it's one more G isn't it? Sometimes you want to go up one but you're already at 4G and you've got nowhere to go, so ours go up to 5g - it's one G-er.

 

[mixed_biscuits]

'G' stands for gravity: it means that your phone will work in your F15 as well as your F14 while you're loop-de-looping.

 

[Mr. Tea]

what can you do with 5g that you can't do with 4g?

Fuck knows, to be honest. Stream hi-def porn while you drive to work? Seems pretty pointless to me.
