First part is mostly correct. Second part, you're dead wrong in two areas. Manufacturing of essential goods continues in haste. And, stimulus is essential for people have lost their jobs and need to buy food. So take your theoretical k

Don't mess around in the US for peanuts if you can speak/read/write Mandarin and English. Head to Shenzhen without delay. If you happen to be white, then you're worth your weight in gold. If you can do technical things,

Don't the reagents for similar commercial lab rtPCR tests typically have to be kept hard frozen too? CMIIAW: this doesn't seem like a readily DIY biohacking-possible project without some significant infrastructure, procedural know

$23.6 trillion plus whatever else this situation will cost. I would guess $5-7 trillion more, at a minimum, because it will cost $1.2 trillion a month for shelter-in-place UBI.. and then however much of many trillions in loans go into defau

I stopped eating meat about 8 years ago and think about this almost every day. It's far worse than just pandemic evolution by keeping too many animals too close to wild animals, to each other and to humans. - Climate change - Antibioti

Chocked full of misleading, regurgitated government propaganda: - Facemasks work if worn, fitted, tested and removed properly. Plus, it's not just about the person protecting themselves, but protecting others. The problem is for-profit

There's already a 45-minute rtPCR test from Cepheid and a simple 10 minute ELISA test from SureScreen (which serves a different need, antibody detection rather than infection detection). It doesn't appear to have an FDA EUA so it

PPE isn't perfect or a magical panacea. Ask Craig Spencer, the NY ER doc who worked with Ebola in Africa, how he got it despite being careful.

Watch thunderf00t's videos and Paul Beckwith's. Without a vaccine and pervasive testing, isolation resets the clock on the pandemic curve and it starts like Groundhog Day all over again, but at a potentially lower level. It will k

I want to go agro on US govt liars who damage trust, try to manipulate people and don't promote honest information. This wouldn't happen in the US because the prevailing attitude is "everyone for themselves; working together

Only people without symptoms and with proof of antibodies should be allowed to move freely. Everyone else who isn't an essential worker should be isolated until there is a vaccine. It's the only way to make H0 stay below 1.0 and s

This is meaningless. rtPCR is the gold standard, which this obviously isn't. Testing for antibodies is clinically-worthless except for who is now immune or had it in the past and doesn't need a vaccine.

That's the rtPCR expensive test for early detection. Self-swab of the front of the nose is now possible without a nasopharyngeal swab. A 15 minute test cannot possibly do rtPCR which takes 45 minutes minimum, so this could only be an a

There's been a cheap, 10 minute antibody (ELISA?) test kit from SureScreen for sometime. It only works after someone develops antibodies. For initial infection, rtPCR is the gold standard and takes at least 45 minutes as of writing. h

True, but that itself is a symptom of bigger problems. The problem isn't which people should or shouldn't have masks. The problem is a lack of supply chain capacity and inventory, and the SNS should have 6 billion masks and 100k v

No. Some people survive and doctors have a moral and ethical obligation to not throw their hands up in the air. Furthermore, without informed consent or advance directives, it's unfair and unethical to play god. The circumstances of th

That's true of all ICU beds. That's why some hospitals were completely converted to COVID only. The point is to separate them from regular ICU cases because COVID requires BSL3, which is significantly more work than regular patien

Apparently, the new term is "physical distancing," because it's not like people are mass unfriending people or calling them Mr./Mrs. SoAndSo.

Sadly, true. The flip-side of globalization is there are unlikely to be any more large-scale conventional or NBC wars (only proxy, cyber and economic wars) because of extreme economic interdependency.

This is absolutely and patently false for 99% of Chinese manufacturing. I suggest you watch Strange Parts videos to see what manufacturing in China is actually like before making a fool of yourself.

It's best not to assume who-owns-what, but to know in each specific case.

I would bet this is only for final assembly. I seriously doubt there is any "Made in USA" product that isn't completely dependent on some tooling or components made overseas.

That's a problem. If a country doesn't have manufacturing capacity, other countries can use that as leverage in the geopolitical sphere. This is one example of where the interests of corporations and countries conflict.

It might buy a couple of rolls of toilet paper too. When rent is $1500, food costs $450 a month for a family now that staple items in particular are scarce and more expensive, car payments aren't going away, and rent will become due af
