Health fears prompt Swiss 5G revolt

Featured Replies

The above headline is from yahoo and I am not going to support click bait for any site by linking here but info can be found doing a search. I post it because I wonder how much MS is depending on this tech to become main stream and provide the higher bandwidths that are going to be needed to support expected streaming requirements for MS20XX. There are quite a few countries that are not all that excited about becoming a big microwave oven.

The Swiss are overblowing the potential risk. A more nuanced analysis may be read here:

Just like you to throw out something like research, facts and studies. LOL!! Yep I get it but things like facts have very little to do with how this is likely to get nuts. I don't have a dog in the fight at 72. I could put 10 of the 5G transmitters in my house and it won't effect my date with the Grim Reaper. LOL I was just wondering how it might have something to do with the way MS is leaning towards a good bit of downloading with it's......  simulator plans.

As someone living in Switzerland, I find it very ironic, they are so worried about 5G health concerns, yet so many smoke any where and everywhere blowing smoke right around non smokers.  I cant board a train or tram without a smoker getting their last puff right at the doors.

I feel your pain!! LOL I hate the smell of old womens make up and the stuff they use to hold in their teeth and over here in the US they let them on trains, planes and even in the local stores. In addition to smokers do they get in your way over there also?

Smokers here seem to be able to smoke in most places without any consideration for people who value their health.  Example is an entrance to a very public place like a mall, office building, airport etc.  Cant smoke inside but they can smoke at the entrance forcing anyone else to go thru the 2nd hand polluted air.  I get they have their right to smoke, but at least have some consideration.  The lack of anti smoking campaigns here doesnt help.  In fact it seems like its encouraged.  When you have doctors and nurses sitting together outside the hospital smoking, you wonder how much weight they have telling people with smoking related illnesses to stop smoking. 

That said, the health care here is one of the best in the world albeit very expensive. Train system is phenomenal. Never seen trains so punctual for the most part, with only the mass amount of users at rush hours that put a strain on the timetable. Clean beautiful place even in Zürich. Heck LSZH is pretty great with the airside observation decks. 

Point of the thread was the complaining of 5G health.  Its my opinion its so unreasonable when you have so much else around that should be alot more health concerning than 5G antennas.
