Why COVID-19 is linked to 5G launch

There are studies and research that the Coronavirus outbreak may be linked to the launch of the 5G internet services in China, in November 2019.

Popular American singer, Keri Hilson took to her social media handles to say this in a series of posts on Sunday night.

Trump to impose 100% tariff on foreign-made films

She noted that the outbreak of the virus started shortly after the launch of 5G network on Nov 1, 2019.

She said in her tweet: “I’m saying there have been lots of studies & experiments that point to the possibility that the dangerous levels of electromagnetic radiation (5G) could be causing the contagious virus.”

She disputed claims that the presence of melanin among people with black skin in Africa was responsible for the low spread in Africa, insisting that the low spread was traceable to the absence of 5G network in Africa.

A part of her Instagram post read:

“5G was invented in…you guessed it—CHINA. It launched Nov 1, 2019, in 50 Chinese cities with between 86,000-130,000 5G base stations by the end of 2019. The 3 largest network operators worked together in a race to be FIRST…only 5 months after retrieving 5G licenses. Those vids we saw of people in China literally dropping dead out of nowhere?? Eerily close to the Nov launch.”  

She recalled that several experts had warned against the dangers of the 5G technology, and advised people to take measures to protect themselves, particularly from the towers which she described as dangerous.

“And to those like me who want to take any measures of protection against it—(although the towers are more dangerous)—you can protect your home & family by going to ur phone Settings to disable LTE under “Cellular Data Options,” which knocks your data speed down to 3 or 4G. 

“Top right corner will show you which network ur on. Also, turn your phone on Airplane Mode or Power them off when not in use or while you sleep. And keep them away from your bodies as much as possible during the day. I’m not an expert on anything. This is a think piece. The post intrigued me & illustrates a possibility based on the facts above. And please watch in entirety before commenting. I’m sure we all got time today…???‍♀️” 

Nigerian Doctor dies in Canada

A Nigerian doctor, Olumide Okunuga has died in Canada after contracting the Coronavirus while on a visit.

According to Adeleke Mamora, the Minister of State for Health, this is an indication that Nigerians should not get too complacent.

Okunuga, a pathologist, was aged 63 and lived in Italy.

Vaccine not for sale, Germany tells US

As the search for a vaccine continues, Germany’s Foreign Minister said on Monday that the rights to the Coronavirus vaccine research were not for sale.

He said this in reaction to reports that Donald Trump wanted the US to buy exclusive access to a potential vaccine developed by a German biotech firm.

“German researchers play a leading role in drug and vaccine development and we cannot allow others to seek exclusive results,” Heiko Maas said in an interview with the media group, Funke.

Citing sources close to the German government, Die Welt newspaper had previously reported that Trump had offered “a billion dollars” to secure research into a vaccine by German biotech firm CureVac “only for the United States”.

Interior Minister, Horst Seehofer could not confirm this development when asked in a news conference and only said that it would be discussed in the crisis committee meeting on Tuesday.

    I think this is all cooked up, the issue of covid-19 is just a distraction so we won’t know what the main thing that is killing people is, which is the 5G. Anyways even if they want to keep it a secret come to think of it no secret can be kept forever, the devel is the Mastermind behind all these, he is trying to impose his 1 world govt, but God is greater than him, he is trying to move Ahead of his time, but God”s people are at alert” for he knows that the church is the only Restraining force against him, this is a sign that we need to be more prayerful, and steadfast in the lord.
