What a time to be alive!

The global pandemic that is COVID-19 has birthed so many conspiracy theories about its origins. One of the most popular has to be the impact of 5G on the virus. David Gowu, a telecommunications consultant, joins me to shed light on the theories and give some education on why 5G is so crucial for global commerce and social mobility. 

Ghana has launched a COVID-19 Tracker App, but it seems not all that glitters is gold on that front. Software engineers and cybersecurity experts have raised a number of questions about the app, its functionality and some of the permissions it requires. Hadi Mukaila, a software consultant with over  9 years development experience with web/mobile development, and integrated security system shared thoughts on the app and its usage on the show.

Ash Dastmalchi, Head of cybersecurity at Quantum Security Solution also shared his thoughts on the security implications of the app on the show as well.

Packed and Ready for you to enjoy.
