There is a short report on the swiss national broadcaster, SRF, about the incident, to be found here, in german: https://www.srf.ch/news/wirtschaft/mobilfunk-geruechte-die-wichtigsten-antworten-in-der-5g-debatte
In short it says (translation mine):
Local authorities rebuted 5G-tests on that same day. Dead birds have
been found over the course of ...

Snopes actually has more details refuting the sequence of events; because tests of 5G use yet unallocated spectrum, they need special regulatory approval.
One such test did occur in an area generally near Huijgenspark, but it took place on 28 June 2018, and it was not followed by a massive bird die-off. For this test, the Dutch equivalent of the FCC ...

Many Americans disagree on ‘When does a human’s life begin?’ because the question is subject to interpretive ambiguity arising from Hume’s is-ought ...

Fasting, and or eating of weird stuff can make roundworms move, but they get no benefit from leaving the body, so they migrate internally. They procreate by "eggs", thus the notion of them leaving because of a deteriorating food supply is spurious.
TL;DR of the below: Hunger, dietary changes and failed deworming medication regimes can make the roundworm ...

It is NOT TRUE that "most humans are hosts to these parasitic worms called Ascaris lumbricoides (Roundworms)."
Ascariasis (CDC.gov, 2018):
An estimated 807 million–1.2 billion people in the world are infected
with Ascaris lumbricoides...Ascariasis is now uncommon in the United
States.
There is NO EVIDENCE that "water fasting is by far, one of the ...
