i got another friend that says his mom knows a lady that has it in gf and she went to mexico roughly about that time..just wondering if the two people were on same flight?

if every gfrrhs hockey mom jumps on a plane to mexico to have their tacos by the ocean this could take a while.

[Siouxperman8]

the real question is -

Does 5G exposure cause people to come up with wild theories on conference realignment and schools moving up to the FBS division in football?

More European countries place bans on more 5G auctions until they actually have data .

March 11 - WHO declares pandemic, First confirmed case in ND, NBA suspends season, NCAA and NCHC announce no fans allowed
March 12 - NHL, MLS, and MLB delay/suspend seasons, NCAA tourneys canceled
Friday March 13 - NDHSAA cancels basketball tourneys
Tuesday March 17 - These people allegedly fly to Mexico, a country not thought to be hit too hard by the virus at the time
March 19 - Burgum announces closure of dine-in restaurants and bars
March 23 - Las Vegas shuts down

Most here were saying the shutdowns were an overreaction at that time, so I'm not gonna knock these people too hard I guess, especially if they had booked it well in advance and it wasn't a last minute trip taking advantage of low prices.  There's also little/no 5G in Mexico. 

I like how you qualified your post for this thread with the last 7 words!

Ditto. Lucky to keep one bar of 4G on the farm in Balta.

Safe to say you're quarantined out there whether you want to be or not!

Get out there once a year. Fortunately (or unfortunately, whatever side of the coin you feel is best), now is not that time. It does sound awfully therapeutic, though.

Will being on the 5G network help my chances of staying employed with my company after 10:30 am tomorrow morning?  I can’t imagine a video conference call with the publisher and HR is a good thing.

5G coverage is much different than all the other G's.  In 5G, you might be part of a central locator tower, but feeder 5G stations feed the fine signal from something as mundane as a light tower, controlling 56 nodes each.  So the user might have two different signals on him simtaneously, with much more energy and much closer.  The telecom industry is pretenting the signal strengths are the same, which might be true, but the geometry and users scream differently.  Also, the signal has a difficult time passing through buildings, nescessitating different types of amplification semiconductors to receive the signals. If a company says the both 4G and 5G signals and energy are the same, that's an outright lie, as 5G is supposed to be different in a major way.  5G is way different than any other G had been 

Here is a map of 5G coverage, which isn't like 4G at all .

Zoom has been infested by porn, so using zoom has not been good for job security

Most 5G regions don't have full capabilty now as the call phones need to be upgraded a year from now.  It's a multi year process.

To try and qualify my post, I will mention 5G.
While trying to find a miracle cure all/vaccine, we still have a virus running a muck?

1255 new deaths confirmed today from CoViD-19 in USA
1165 new deaths yesterday
1330 new deaths the day before

China has a total of 3,335 confirmed deaths to date, we have more in just the last 3 days.
Something just not right about all this?

Is the power of 5G saving lives in China?

[Cratter]

Instead of asking the President about 5G,

the white house correspondents instead asked him why he hasn't shut down grocery stores yet.

Global Catholic Television Network. That's who the reporter who asked that question works for.

I'm assuming it was an accident saying plural correspondents and not including who they worked for.

Remember these are Chinese statistics.

A story I read made estimates based on how many hours their crematoriums were running and how many urns were delivered to the funeral homes.   They estimated the Chinese deaths at 42,000-46,000.

Same lines a story I read don’t know the accuracy of it but the body bags were still moving being placed in the crematorium.

So you'll be just be another unimportant and irrelevant statistic. Collateral damage. I'll look for your name on the list when another 5-7M come out on the unemployment report Thursday. Be well and hang in there my friend.

I was curious what outlet that guy worked for.  There are a lot of questionable questions asked during those briefings, but that one takes the cake for the stupidest I've ever heard.

Trying to stay on topic here. Just like your guy that got killed by the 5G tower falling over, there's many ways of counting or not counting deaths.
We mentioned earlier, how the Chinese statistics are hard to take seriously.

Our statistics also don't show the total picture.
There seems to be an under reporting of deaths.

An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. "Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic," said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee [source]

A study by disease modelers at the University of Texas at Austin states that "Given the low testing rates throughout the country, we assume that 1 in 10 cases are tested and reported. If a county has detected only 1 case of COVID-19, there is a 51%
chance that there is already a growing outbreak underway" [source]  [source]
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

“We definitely think there are deaths that we have not accounted for,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security, which studies global health threats and is closely tracking the coronavirus pandemic.

I can understand how difficult it would be in getting a completely accurate count in the midst of any pandemic.  Your links spell out some good reasons as to why.   Just look at how the swine flu numbers changed after the fact:

Just like counting the dead, there are different ways of counting the span of life of the virus on surfaces?
