Weekend

Like a never ending Christmas break it is getting hard to keep track of the days.

The only gift that keeps giving just now though is the ability of a significant minority to be breathtakingly stupid. The latest moronic idea is that COVID-19 is somehow caused by the rollout of the 5g network.

As with most witless conspiracy theories it is hard to know where to start; the fact that viruses and electromagnetic waves used to transport data have absolutely no connection should be a given, but for the hard of thinking who can’t get that, perhaps the fact that one of the biggest centres of the epidemic, Iran, doesn’t have any 5g coverage at all might give you pause.

But why waste time examining a theory for holes when you can just revel in your fury, and head out to damage some masts.
