Today at 2:20 pm Eastern clock time , cell phone , video , and radiocommunication substance abuser in the US will be adjoin with an emergency alert psychometric test on their various devices .

The alert will test the Emergency Alert System ( EAS ) on TV and tuner , and the Wireless Emergency Alerts ( WEA ) system for mobile phone headphone .

“ We require to assure that the system continue to be effective , " Orlando Olivera , Coordinator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency ’s ( FEMA ) Caribbean Area Office in Puerto Rico enounce in apress release , " that the public understands and expend these alarm and warnings about emergencies , particularly those on the internal storey , as we work to tone emergency readiness among our communities . "

Those are the fact , but of course conspiracy theorists have other melodic theme , neatly link up it up withCOVID-19vaccinations and throw inzombiesfor good measure .

" Oct. 4th They ’re lead to use 5 chiliad [ from ] cell earphone towers to cause dormant pathogens that were in the vaccines to become active in our bodies , " one such confederacy posted toX(Twitter ) reads . " Marburgis closely related to Ebola . The deletion of the ip36 factor ( side consequence of Pfizer Vaccine ) will change by reversal these multitude into zombies . "

" This word about Marburg activation by 5 thou number on the same day is more than a little disturbing , " another blue - ticking conspiracy theoristadded . " All the broadcast bodily process filling the air for the FEMA trial run would make the perfect cover for 5 G signals for Marburg at the same time . "

Of course this is patently nonsense , with no mechanism to spark computer virus in the trunk using5Geven if the government took the flaky step of give a deadly virus to its universe for reasons unclear , and was able-bodied to keep this under wraps from all but the most conspirative profane - tick Twitter bill . The test are move every three years , as require byfederal police force , none of them posing wellness risks to the public nor unleashing any zombi viruses .

Earlier this class , thesame conspiratorial claimwas made about an emergency alerting mental testing in the UK , and so far the UK - based IFLScience squad is glad to account we have n’t turned into zombies . Braaaaaaaains .
