Consider this. You get a call on your mobile phone. Then you are dead. If rumours flying around are to be believed, this mobile virus works this way: A person gets a call from an unidentified number. He or she picks up the phone. Poof! A brain haemorrhage and the person is dead or incapacitated. Rumours claim 21 people have died in Kuwait from this mobile virus, while many others are in hospital.

The hoax has caused panic and confusion among mobile phone users throughout South Asia and has now reached Kuwait and the Gulf. While few people actually believe the stories about the alleged �ring of death?, the rumours have spread far and wide, with many sending the stories to their friends and family via text messages. Both mobile carriers in Kuwait, MTC and Wataniya, have dismissed the alleged killer mobile phone virus. There are more than 2.5 million mobile subscribers in Kuwait.
Theories abound about how this virus manages to kill its victims. The most prominent suggests that an extremely high-pitched screech is heard, which causes blood vessels in the brain to explode. This explanation has rightly been pooh-poohed, since a mobile phone speaker cannot produce such high-frequency sounds. One warning sign is that the killer number appears in red on the screen. That means those with monochrome displays are dead meat. It wouldn?t be a surprise if there is a surge in sales of new cell phones.
?Mobile devices are low power transceivers. The typical maximum output power of a mobile phone is two watts and the highest frequency is two gigahertz. This can in no way harm a human,� explained Abdul Qadir Sultan and Rizwan Bhawra, field engineers at MTC. ?The US military has such kinds of weapons that stun a person or temporarily deafen a person causing enormous pain, to avoid killing the opponent etc. These military weapons operate at very high wattages. A mobile phone hasn?t even fraction of this capability.� Even biological viruses (or biological weapons like anthrax) cannot be spread by cell phones since they are airborne, waterborne or require physical contact, they said, adding that a mobile is an electronic device and not a biological carrier.
A Wataniya customer service agent said the company was unaware of such a virus.
?It is not possible to get a brain haemorrhage by sound waves,� said Gerry Perez, a senior hearing aid specialist. ? If one is exposed to 120 decibels of sound - akin to the pounding of a jackhammer - for a period of five hours, then one is prone to heavy loss in hearing high frequencies. Normal conversation is of only 35 decibels, and if one does hear a loud sound from a mobile phone, the normal reaction is to throw the phone away from the ear reflexively,� he said.
Perez explained that the brain is ensconced in a thick skull, and cannot be easily affected. ?Yes, if one is in close proximity to an explosion, the eardrum can get ruptured, since it is soft tissue, but the brain will only be damaged if it is impacted,� he added.
Rumours about this �killer virus? began in Pakistan, where they reached such a fever pitch that some mosques in Karachi announced that people were being killed by this virus and the faithful should be aware of the wrath of God. Mobile operators had to release a joint statement rubbishing such hearsay. The rumours then spread to neighbouring India and Afghanistan, even as far as Bangladesh, causing panic and confusion.



There are also echoes of the hit Hollywood movie �The Ring? in this affair. But whereas the victims took a week to die in the movie, here they are alleged to die instantaneously. Critics have warned of a multitude of dangers stemming from mobile phone use, including hearing loss, brain cancer, impotence etc. It?s possible you might die while chatting on your mobile, but only if you are driving and distracted by a call.
