Why 5G Is Not Responsible For COVID-19

Andy O'Donoghue joined us for Tech Tuesday to explain what 5G is, how it works and why it has no link whatsoever to COVID-19. He also discussed WhatsApp's attempt to stop the spread of coronavirus misinformation by imposing limits on message forwarding, and useful apps for exercise, relaxation and learning while you're stuck at home.
