The really important news about Chernobyl  was that the predictions
using LNT were in excess of 150,000 cancers across Ukraine and Eastern
Europe. In fact only 60 people died and there were only 3000 preventable
(if they had been given iodine pills) and curable thyroid cancers right
there in Pripyat. .

More people are dying *every day* from Covid 19.

No one died from radiation at all, nor will. The company decided not to
defend being sued by someone who got cancer's relatives, that's all.
IIRC only one person died on site from a heart attack
About 20 people died as a result if the pointless evacuation.

The Italian embassy was recalled from Tokyo to Rome, where background
radiation was *ten times higher*.

Not sure about the chip implant, and I think they are actually very
scared about this virus.

I never trust what a government says,I watch what they do. They haven't
stopped flying to climate conferences or sold their beachside houses or
gone in for a crash program of nuclear power - they know that renewable
energy is profitable crap and doesn't work to reduce emissions, and they
are not worried. So climate change isn't an emergency, its a political
power and profit opportunity.  Same for electric cars,  but they are
wearing masks and isolating themselves, so I think this one is real.

More would be nice, but this is not the time and place,

I have always thought that if everybody had a Geiger counter on their
smart phone, they would be a lot less scared of radiation.
