The “precautionary principle” is a bit of a two edge sword, since not doing something is a form of action that has its own risks and possible unseen consequences. We have to have some kind of rational way of assessing risk. As far as I understand it the mainstream scientific consensus is that 5G poses no significant risk. So in this case evoking the precautionary principle is a non starter I would have thought.
We shouldn’t make the mistake of thinking that Trump was the cause of right-wing populism in the USA.
I don’t think anyone thinks that. But equally, it’s a mistake to think that Trump’s victory hasn’t emboldened and enlarged the far-right in the USA or that his removal would have no effect on anything.

Really though, what I think is more important is what people do on the hundreds of other days when there is no election….
There is not any leader, or politician able to alter the economic base of any society
I agree, but there are other things that it is possible to be made worse and are important.
To be honest, in this situation if I were a US citizen, in the absence of a real socialist movement and party, I would be voting against Trump. It’s not a normal situation and I think it requires some mental gymnastics to think otherwise.
What those above figures don’t take into account though is the delay in getting the data and the fact that not all countries are starting from the same point in time, it’s comparing apples and oranges. We’re only at the beginning of this really..

You’ve just copied and pasted all this from that “Swiss Propaganda Research” place. You should have really mentioned this.
The first known case of Covid 19 in Scotland was on 1st March, that’s not five weeks not five months.
