Cell Phones Cause Coronavirus

Title (Dublin Core)

Cell Phones Cause Coronavirus

Description (Dublin Core)

Conspiracy theories about the origin of COVID-19 include a vocal group claiming a connection between the 5g network and the virus. The person in this post claims that this new “cell frequency” produces the virus and is why we must stay six feet apart. The person claims the close proximity of people with cell phones in places like cruise ships is why the number of cases was higher in these locations. The person who shared this to reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook mocks the post by satirically saying to remember to turn off your COVID setting.
