If you're worried about 5G towers suppressing your immune system, then you'd also have to worry about micro-waves, mobile phones, and your freaking light bulbs. There's also the fact that Coronavirus is spreading like mad in cities that have yet to implement 5G. There's also, also the fact that cellphone towers spreading disease doesn't make any fucking sense. As Adam Finn, Professor of Paediatrics at the University of Bristol, puts it:
"The present epidemic is caused by a virus that is passed from one infected person to another. We know this is true. We even have the virus growing in our lab, obtained from a person with the illness. Viruses and electromagnetic waves that make mobile phones and internet connections work are different things. As different as chalk and cheese."
So before you start running around setting 5G towers ablaze like some people in the UK are doing, maybe take a deep breath, a second to think, and then don't do that. Or you can take your cues from Woody Harrelson, a guy who looks, talks, and acts like the Ghost of Joints Past. It's up to you.
