Xinhua) -- The branches of Chinese major telecom operators in central China's Hubei Province announced Thursday the launch of commercial 5G applications in the province.
Wuhan City, the capital of Hubei, is expected to have 10,000 5G base stations by the end of 2019, said Song Qizhu, head of Hubei Provincial Communication Administration.
China Telecom has established a 5G network covering airports, railway stations and other areas in the city, which will also help boost the digital and intelligent transformation of the industries with 5G technologies, said Li Hongbo, general manager of the company's Hubei branch.
China Mobile Hubei Branch has activated 1,580 5G base stations in the city as of mid-October, achieving the 5G coverage of universities, transportation hubs and other densely populated areas, according to the branch.

A group of French cattle farmers is suing the state over the mysterious death of hundreds of cows, which they believe are the victims of harmful electromagnetic fields.
Local vets are at a loss to explain the deaths. Stéphane Le Béchec, 51, a Breton farmer in Allneuc, has lost 200 cows who died of unknown causes in the past three years and is closing his business. He has identified several potentially harmful sources, including a transformer, mobile transmission towers and wind farms whose electric currents he says blight his land. “I noted that the voltmetre reacted strongly when I stuck it in the ground or in water,” he told Le Parisien.`
He has filed a legal complaint against “persons unknown” with the local prosecutor.
Patrick Le Néchet, another farmer in nearby Prénessaye, has lost 120 cows in similarly mysterious circumstances in the past five years.
“This week, he found a dead calf by its mother. Sometimes we find three in one go. We never know what we'll find,” he said.
“We also have had blind calves with holes in their heads and deformed limbs that end up going round in circles and banging their heads on the walls,” he added. Others can no longer walk or refuse to be milked and produce very little, as well as bullocks that are stunted.
The local agricultural chamber referred him to a geobiologist who noted that the water on his property carried a high amount of electricity, potentially linked to a neighbour’s photovoltaic station.
These are far from isolated cases, with ten registered in Brittany alone in the past two years. In two, the deaths started after the installation of wind farms. Others have been registered in Normandy and the Sarthe.
“They let farmers die when they have known there is a problem for the past 25 years and it’s getting worse,” said retired farmer Serge Provost, who told Le Parisien that the geology of the local soil and its conductivity is not sufficiently taken into account when installing high-tension pylons and other electrical devices.
A group of concerned farmers met on Friday in Le Mans to launch legal action demanding state compensation.
The French government first ordered a study into the potentially harmful effects of electromagnetic fields on livestock in 1998, which proved inconclusive.
Several recent scientific studies in other countries suggest that dairy cows are sensitive to earth currents, which can have negative health effects on them.
Last year, an analysis of 97 studies by the EU-funded review body EKLIPSE concluded that electromagnetic radiation from power lines, wi-fi, phone masts and broadcast transmitters poses a ‘credible’ threat to wildlife - in particular to insect and bird orientation and plant health.
However the charity Buglife warned that despite good evidence of the harms there was little research ongoing to assess the impact, or apply pollution limits.
“There is a real problem that we need to deal with,” said Claude Allo, president of a French working group tasked by agricultural chambers to look into the issue.
Interesting theory. The illness is real, the causation is suspect. It's not from nature in my opinion.
5G is not "everywhere" yet but in this provence of China it appears to be. Could it have mutated a strain of coronavirus? I don't think so.
Coronavirus is flu, an upper respiratory infection that can cause secondary pneumonia - which can be deadly. Is this virus rebranded SARS? It's not outside the realm of possibility. I'm not a virologist and can't say for certain. I do know from personal experience that having natural immunity from one strain of coronavirus can confer immunity to other related strains. I'm curious to find out if I am also immune to this latest hysterical epidemic.
There is a Congressional inquiry on Lyme disease being a biological weapon developed by the US military that escaped into the public realm. How about the origin of HIV? Where are these novel diseases coming from?
Vaccines are an environmental toxin. On the Epilepsy foundation website, there is a list of toxins that cause epilepsy; among them is the MMR and Pertussis vaccines. I refuse to inject foreign toxins into myself or my children. This is an exercise of my right to bodily integrity and freedom of choice. We all enjoy these rights.
To those who parrot the rhetoric that I'm a conspiracy theorist, or would call me an anti-vaxxer or other dismissive and derogatory name; I am not, and consider myself a critical thinker.
Currently, we possess the freedom of choice and the right to bodily integrity. This is the fundamental belief I support, and it is under attack in the USA.
I recently read that ~40% of adults are refusing vaccines. I say we're exercising the precautionary principle, something our collective governments have refused to do. If you can't force a person to give up their inalienable rights you do the next best thing - fear mongering.
Allow me to dispel another myth about the unvaccinated being vectors of disease; I cannot make anyone sick with an illness I do not have and/or am naturally immune to. The best defense is a strong offense: maintain a healthy immune system through optimal nutrition and wash your hands often.
I'm in a low risk demographic and not at all worried about the coronavirus. Severe RSV is making its rounds this winter and I know of and have been around a lot of sick people, including my immediate family, it seems I still have natural immunity. Just for good measure I'm going to start nebbing glutathione - gotta go.

*UPDATE
After I wrote my opinion this came through my newsfeed:
W hat a fantastic post! Thank you. Ozone can fight coronavirus, as well.
In California, many senators were paid thousands by the pharmaceuticals to approve legislation that requires every school aged child to be vaccinated with a total number of vaccines at at least 68 by the time they are 18. There are no exemptions.
Bepo, I'm familiar with ozone, use it cautiously, it can damage your lungs if you inhale it.
The California do gooders are at it again, they know what's best for everyone (sarcasm). Seriously though, requiring people to give up their rights sets a dangerous precedent. Fortunately there are other state that have a different mentality and we still have the freedom to move there. On a side note, Californians are relocating to Texas, trying to change the demographic ahead of the election. Crazy 💩
The damage ozone does to the lungs is temporary. We make sure we don't breath it. Our sauna is in a well ventilated room. One time we did not seal the top of the chamber and I breathed a little ozone. I coughed for about half an hour.
Just want to add that ozone is a powerful oxidizer - and can damage lungs, be careful with it. I have a small ozone generator with a tube and bubble stone attached; I use it to wash produce and deactivate bacteria and pesticides - even on organic food.
There are many influences in the environment that can push increased neurological damage. Parkinson's patients don't need additional stresses. It's good to be educated; to be aware...........or just continue doing what you're doing.
Since you asked, my Parkinsonism with tremors was changed to motor neuron disease. Sometimes it feels good to stretch my brain and share my knowledge, which also is my opinion. It just so happens that bepo and I are of the same opinion on vaccines. You're being a bully.
