Russian Scientist Who Worked on Coronavirus Vaccine Stabbed, Falls Out of Window

https://www.vox.com/2020/5/6/21248553/coronavirus-russia-doctors-windows-death

Why are Russian coronavirus doctors mysteriously falling out of windows?
There must be something seriously wrong with Russian architecture for their windows being such strong magnets for Covid doctors...

Aviation crash risk with new 5G sale

As part of a broader move to boost the 5G industry in the United States, the Federal Communications Commission on Dec. 8 began auctioning a portion of C-band electromagnetic spectrum, a move the committee’s chairman, Ajit Pai, celebrated as “a big day for American consumers and U.S. leadership in 5G.”

But, in the weeks leading up to the auction, more than a dozen commercial aviation groups warned the sale could, as one study put it, lead to “catastrophic failures” with the potential for “multiple fatalities.”

If the radio altimeter systems have receivers that are stuffed by a 200MHz offset signal then they are unsafe today. 5G usage of the spectrum is just showing up bad RF engineering.
The concern I think is more that the allotted 3.7 - 3.98 GHz bands might somehow interfere with the existing 4.2 - 4.4 GHz transmissions. I don't know if that is a fact but it is a valid question. Retrofitting systems might be cost prohibitive though. Newer 5G devices may just have to be more strictly regulated.
