Normally I'd laugh at people who think 5G cells are causing coronavirus, but 50 such towers have actually been burnt down in the UK.

I've seen stories about telecom workers being verbally assaulted while doing their job.  Hopefully none of these things turn violent.

What this thread - but particularly GR's "Timelines" thread - makes abundantly clear is one thing:  do not even try to tread on this board's absolute right to $hit on the Trump Administration for its feckless handling of the Covid- virus, whether by "relativizing" it or what have you.  The troops were out in force in Timelines, that's for sure!

An amazing study in board psychology . . . if anyone really cares.

And speaking of that, who really cares about how other countries handled the pandemic, good or bad or "about the same," or whatever?  And that's putting aside the historic, geographic, and cultural differences which may help or hinder a unified response in one country versus here.  It's all irrelevant noise, imo.  But whatever.

The most interesting thing in these parts is the potential breach in the "we must remain locked-in until a vaccine/treatment/or fool-proof testing/tracing capabilities are in hand."  Heaven forbid.  You mean we might actually have to open things up a bit and deal with this virus, including the increase in cases and deaths?  Gee, whodathunkit.

Last point:  Darwinism (and btw, this is good old fashioned Darwinism, and not even Social Darwinism) is harsh and generally sucks . . . but sometimes is unavoidable.  We may be in one of those situations now.  But on the bright side, maybe some Darwinism will kick in for those pouring disinfectants into their lungs.  Pardon me for not shedding too many tears for them.
