In particular prior use of this spectrum without problems, reuse of TV spectrum, some reference to the power levels, lack of non ionising radiation and what kind of radiation might be harmful for comparison, radio waves vs virus particles - how one can't carry or promote the other, locations of 5G masts globally vs locations of virus hotspots without 5G.....
