So who will be the next state going HAM with this thing? Seems to me nothing is going to stop each state from just doing the same thing Texas, Florida, Arizona are doing right now?

Apparently the Chinese treat whistle blowers almost as bad as the Obama Administration did . . . but I digress.

Interesting story and Rona Related.

dax being an old boomer who is insane about obama aside, I agree. China can absolutely eat our ass. I kind of want trump to win the election so he can cancel our debt to them.

It is a shame trump has the intellect of a 4 year old and is relying on white nationalists and the morbidly obese to win.

You can thank mentally deficient ChiCom Joe Biden and his clinking champagne toasts with Xi for an ascendant, emboldened and above world decorum China, Slow Dug (and the previous administration and then the previous administration before that).

potential good news/HVAC nerding out xpost...U of H researchers seem to think they've developed an air filter that can kill like 99.8% of the rona in one pass. Would be interested to see more of the science behind it, but seems promising. My guess is that the first step to safely returning to work is going to be having portable units like these (or any other technology that can be proven effective at killing rona) and just have these bad boys spaced every 400-500 square feet or so depending on how densely occupied the space is, so that it is just constantly cleaning the air.

You think this is preposterous? Discussions are being had in board rooms everywhere at this very moment about reducing commercial real estate footprints and subleasing portions of long-term leases.

DQ12 · « **Reply #8410 on:** July 10, 2020, 11:36:26 AM »

yeah i think it's pretty likely commercially real estate could be pretty fukt by this.

Yes I do think it's preposterous to think nobody will be going back to offices in large numbers. I am well aware of current discussions.

Never returning “in large numbers” is preposterous. But yeah it will take time, and tons of offices will be smaller when they fully reopen.

We all agree great idea, but nobody will fund it. Cool.

Nobody wanted to fund the MERS (I think it was MERS) vaccine sitting in a freezer in Austin, TX

I wonder why.

Reportedly Fauci and NIH wouldn't fund it.

Also a bit dubious that the company Fauci just threw $1.6 billion at is reportedly skipping animal trials.

SciBro walked me through some of the kleptocracy in the government scientist research community (and outright stealing) awhile back. It's pretty weird.

It's also super tiring to see people constantly point to the infection rate of one group of tests and then automatically apply that % to the greater population as a whole. Beyond stupid.

DQ12 · « **Reply #8422 on:** July 10, 2020, 11:59:14 AM »

The whole argument is dumb. Mathematically, more testing will result in more reported cases (assuming the prior amount of testing wasn't catching all cases). That really shouldn't be debated.

It was going to happen one way or the other but Covid has accelerated it by about 20 years. The cost savings is too big to give back and the forced adoption of virtual technology has made it pointless to try in a lot of industries. I work for a pretty jumbo global outfit and I think we will be closing all regional offices for good once the leases expire. And those leases are being negotiated out of as we speak so maybe sooner. Sure, there will be some industries that still have to be in the offices, but there are a lot that thought they did before Covid and have quickly realized they don’t. On a related topic business travel will never reach pre-Covid levels. Ever.
