You can read the debunk by @Forbes here: forbes.com/sites/brucelee…

And the debunk by @Reuters here: reuters.com/article/uk-fac…

In their reporting, @Reuters reached out to a spokesperson for @3M, a company that makes protective equipment. They disputed the claim entirely and explained the reason behind why there’s wires in their masks. Here’s what they said..

@Forbes refuted the claim as well. There’s one essential element of 5G that these social media claims haven’t been able to prove. Take a look: 👀

Since coronavirus became a topic in our daily lives, we’ve been hearing claims that 5G is to blame. But...what is 5G really? Many of us probably have 5G data options on our cell phones but don’t really know what it means.

A keyword search for “what is 5G” came up with this article from @PCMag that lays it all out. It’s pretty confusing, but basically 5G is the latest generation of wireless technology with the ability to connect a lot more devices at once. pcmag.com/news/what-is-5g

And just so we’re clear, 5G DOES NOT cause coronavirus. This has been widely reported!
