I was shocked today watching American beaches crowded, wearing no face masks, and very close each other. 50.000 people dead so far, how many do you need to be a responsible human being...?
Covid-19 Discussion (moderated)

it's the switching speed of the transistors.
Your processor chip builds up heat as it changes states, limiting speed. ...
Oh yeah, switching speed. Things I've forgotten.

If only that were true. Here's a good excerpt from a good blog on scientificamerican's website:
**
The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently announced through a press release that the commission will soon reaffirm the radio frequency radiation (RFR) exposure limits that the FCC adopted in the late 1990s. These limits are based upon a behavioral change in rats exposed to microwave radiation and were designed to protect us from short-term heating risks due to RFR exposure.
Yet, since the FCC adopted these limits based largely on research from the 1980s, the preponderance of peer-reviewed research, more than 500 studies, have found harmful biologic or health effects from exposure to RFR at intensities too low to cause significant heating.
Citing this large body of research, more than 240 scientists who have published peer-reviewed research on the biologic and health effects of nonionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF) signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal, which calls for stronger exposure limits.

Certainly, you have the FCC class 15 regulations in place, but those are more aimed at preventing so-called "spurious emissions" from devices that "bleed" outside their proper bandwidth. This is more about stopping your computer from messing up your TV than it is about health concerns, but sure, all things considered it makes sense to limit devices to putting out emissions that are needed for their proper functioning, and no more than that.
No brains have been cooked yet . And frankly, if it were possible to do this readily, we'd have seen this weaponized long ago.

Transistors—tiny electrical switches—are the fundamental unit that drives all the electronic gadgets we can think of. As they get smaller, they also get faster and consume less electricity to operate.
Today’s transistors are about 70 silicon atoms wide, so the possibility of making them even smaller is itself shrinking. We’re getting very close to the limit of how small we can make a transistor.
Every time silicon seems to hit the wall, some new breakthrough pushes it forward. That is why gallium arsenide failed to become a viable silicon alternative and those companies largely disappeared. Clearly heat exchange is still a big issue, as evidenced by smartphones that catch on fire ...but it seems like distance/speed of light will become the final wall nobody can break through soon enough. Enter: quantum entanglement.
Anyway, back to 5G and the outbreak.

In Mexico health care workers are getting attacked...physically assulted. So now they don't go out in public in their scrubs.

Give them a few more weeks when they are sick or know someone they care about who is very sick...this virus is here for a very long time so they will get hit eventually....even if it takes 3 months...or 6....

I think those two (optical transistor and quantum computers) are going to be very hard to master

This weekend Russia is dealing with violence. Like everyone else, they don't like the lockdown.
Maybe they will use that excuse to get to Putin

Many have argued that it has been, including at least one mainstream publication:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/01/science/sonic-attack-cuba-microwave.html
HAARP has also been flagged as a weapon of mass destruction masking itself as 'research':

There's also the fact that so many studies have shown that EMFs, particularly of the radio frequency variety, do a lot more damage the certain authorities like the WHO acknowledge. Here's the link to the 500+ studies that have shown that they do in fact do damage:

Except for the HAARP the two others are really scary!

I remember the Cuba sonic weapon stuff. I guess what I should have said was that if such weapons were really effective, they would have replaced some traditional weapons by now. The Cuba "weapon", if it even existed, and for that specific purpose, would have been specifically used to cause damage over time without revealing a source. That doesn't mean it would be a practical everyday weapon, though, and that was my point...that you have to try real hard to make various emissions cause damage that way. Which makes it less likely, but certainly not impossible, for lower levels of emissions over long time periods to be a big problem.
I'm not at all against more research on health effects, but I would not reduce this to 5G -> Covid-19...it would be a much broader problem of emissions affecting immune system functioning across the board, and ergo would probably have shown up well before this outbreak, or would at the very least also be detected affecting other viruses/bacterial infections/diseases at the same time.
There are people all over the world whose daily 5G "exposure" is routinely hundreds or thousands of times the average humans', but this has not been reflected in those people getting sick more easily. X-rays eventually killed Roentgen, and something similar would have been happening to people with high 25gHz-50gHz exposures for the past couple of decades if emissions at those frequencies were breaking down the human immune system.

Man, that's messed up .
That kind of ignorance-turned-violence is exactly why threads like this are a Good Thing(tm). Taking the trained medical personnel that are going to *save you* out of action is the ultimate in foolish behavior.

I agree that I certainly haven't heard of any microwave guns if that's what you mean :-p. I basically think it's a good stealth weapon, because it's harder to prove that it's a weapon at all.
Anyway, I definitely agree with you that we shouldn't reduce this to 5G -> Covid-19. There is evidence that radio frequencies have been involved with other viruses though. Perhaps the best example is the Spanish Flu. I'm thinking it might be best to create a separate thread talking about the factors that could be affecting the lethality of Covid 19. I've made one, it's here:

Cool , I agree that this can probably fill a thread all on its own.

Apparently a lot more. Don't worry, we'll get there eventually...

I listened to this guy, he was proposing technology that used infrared waves to monitor patients in the hospital. Apparently you can non-invasively take data like heart rate and breathing.
But if the patient found out that invisible "rays" were hitting their body they might be afraid. So a completely superfluous blue light would shine on their chest to make them feel at ease at the same time.
lol
The moral of the story is people are instinctively afraid of the unknown... they're like animals, a slave to their feelings.

More Pavlovian stuff that media exploits to sell movie tickets or get ratings...and it's so ubiquitous now that it's worldwide:
high pitch = danger
red = danger
invisible particles of any kind = bad
Even words like "infrared", "radiation", "bacteria" etc. are all considered "bad" instinctively somehow even though there's absolutely nothing inherent bad about those words alone.
Wait... but if they thought microwaves cook with nuclear radiation and then they eat the food... lol
Logic was not their strong suit. They thought microwaves were powered by "radiation" but somehow not that the radiation directly cooked their food .
"The microwave is overheating, Mom! Pull the rods out of the core!"
Pull the rods out of the core, lol.
