Dozens of floors burned in the China Telecom building in the city of Changsha, the capital of central Hunan province. The city’s fire department said it sent 280 firefighters who were able to quickly extinguish the blaze on the 218-meter (720-foot) building.


No injuries or deaths have been reported, China Telecom said in a statement. It said there was no disruption to cellphone service, but social media users complained of being unable to use their phones.

Videos of the blaze showed one side of the building scorched black, with debris falling to the ground. Other videos from local media showed workers inside managing to evacuate the building.

There was no immediate information on the cause of the blaze.

It is hard to swallow the idea that nobody died in a fire like this.

The ‘alternative’ covid narrative points strongly to the many ‘5g rollouts’ that took place (and continue to) as correlatives to the immune system symptoms affecting multitudes of people since these began (at around October of ‘2019) commonly being diagnosed as ‘covid’. This is quite an accomplishment for big pharma and telecom who both profit from the creation and ‘treatment’ of this lucrative, mostly man-made modern-day plague. The first three ‘covid epidemics’ took place in Wuhan, China, in sync with three separate 5g rollouts in ‘2019 and ‘2020. The next declared epidemic was in March of ‘2020 in Northern Italy (Milan), which was the next region to ‘rollout’ 5g – over 11 time zones away. The ‘plague’ skipped over the entire Russian expanse where 5g had not then been built-up. These ideas were initially presented in a ground-breaking publication: ‘The Contagion Myth’. Amazon refused to ship it until the name of the book was changed to ‘the Truth About Contagion’.
