And for making the test kits.
The UK government have "committed to buying large stocks of antibody tests from Roche and Abbott". Tests these companies have been doctoring the the acuracy of, as discussed briefly from the 17:15 min mark in yesterdays 'More or Less' radio programme.

A bit like the Ventilator challenge cost government £450m despite cancellations.
I hear that most of the designs in the 'global ventilator race' were either unusable, or downright dangerous, they had no pressure regulators and such.

Texas is a slow motion tragedy. Imagine having all the warnings watching other states and countries and still blowing it.

Young Chinese woman in her 20's needed a double lung transplant due to COVID damage. Her lungs were full of holes and fused to her chest. This is the stuff of nightmares.
edit: nvm this was Chicago, I thought this was in China for some reason.

I've watched that fat cat try to get through that little door for at least twenty times in a row and I laugh every time, especially when the cat puts both front paws against the door to push itself through

Its pretty uninteresting and far from a nightmare when 1/hundreds of thousands has that outcome.

I'm sorry that you lack emotional intelligence and can't appreciate how terrible it is for anyone young and healthy to have their lungs turned into swiss cheese by a virus that's 'just a flu', because that was literally the only point that I was making.
But I'm sure you're too enlightened to waste your time empathizing with people like a silly pleb.

I see you still can't manage to hold your tongue in order to stop coming off like an immature, petulant teenager when the suffering of millions is being discussed.
But it's OK right, because 'we're all one'? It's all just the circle of life so why not just be cruel, since life is cruel anyway?
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but that's your defense for your behaviour here?

Two million cases now in the US...
To say this country mismanaged the situation would be the understatement of the year.
I'm sure it's gonna get horribly worse in developing countries, and my heart goes out to people in them for what it'll be like when it really starts to kick off bigtime.

Yeah, the doc here is going for 2 weeks to a highly infected area and will not change his mind. He also said that a viral test that comes back negative the day before he leaves or gets here is good enough to know he's clean. I'm all of a sudden going be asking for that 2 weeks off when he gets back more than likely. I'll use my fucking pto or whatever just to do it.

"Birmingham (UK) University Research Scientist, Felicity de Cogan, about the surface she created which kills bacteria in seconds" and believes 'nitriding' could also work against viruses.
Brief discussion starts at 9 min mark.
"If her laboratory studies prove that it kills the virus as quickly, as she hopes, the technology could be used to create antiviral PPE that can be re-used rather than thrown away".

7200 total cases in Aus.

Story of a lot of places. Canada is still on its steep decreasing slope of new active cases, three weeks after reopening. 90% of people wear masks and it's not even obligatory.
Way to go Montreal!

It's as much the leadership as it is the society.
Even had the orders been stronger would the land of liberty actually paused for each other?
I'm not sure.

If our president wore a mask when the cdc stated recommending it - even if it was just while in front of the cameras as a publicity stunt - I wonder how many more would take it seriously.

My state did, and we're now slowly reopening and cases are massively down and continue to decrease. NY and NJ did.
Really all we need is adequate ppe and social distancing practices - everyone needs to wear a mask in enclosed spaces and have enough space to stay 6 feet apart at a minimum. Professions like hairdressers/barbers should be masked up like doctors and given basic training on using ppe and hygiene practices. If the government really wanted to help out then they would get those resources to them. Things could be done if our government wasn't constantly in this pathetic political gridlock.

We had 1,698 cases in Florida just today, but hey, why not open up Busch Gardens the fuck anyways today? Nobody really likes Tampa anyways.
