"The Food and Drug Administration is cautioning the public about the reliability of a widely used rapid test for the coronavirus. The test, made by Abbott Laboratories, has been linked with inaccurate results which could falsely reassure patients that they are not infected with the virus.
As first reported on NPR, as many as 15 to 20 out of every 100 tests may produce falsely negative results. A subsequent study released this week indicated that the test could be missing as many as 48% of infections."
Its because, as a society, we don't value the elderly, the imprisoned, the brown people who work in meatpacking plants, etc. We prefer to shut them away, ignore them and pretend they don't exist, imo.
to me, it's a fairly simple failure of leadership to not see the first outbreak was the senior center in WA, understand the dynamic of how it happens there, and not devote the energy and resources there. And then ruminate "hmm, where else in our country/state/county are people living and working so close to each other?"
Proximity and contamination. No one's sanitizing that equipment.
yeah, no way playground equipment opens up. Here's an example of public area usage:
When our pool opens (private club):
20 people max. Set 2-hour windows. 1 hour in-between to clean every lounge chair, the bathrooms, concrete decking, railings, what not. At a pool filled with chemicals that theoretically kill the virus very quickly. In the July sun

And massive outdoor gatherings (like the beaches in Florida) didn't seem to spread the fire as much as was feared.

it seems like a long time ago, but remember the cell phone tracking from FL at the end of Spring Break?
It's my perception that they didn't all head back to the NYC metro and cause that infection. And if a bunch of asymptomatic 21 year old partiers with the highest R value possible went home to OH or MI from Spring Break, then you'd see MASSIVE infections in the Midwest.

Has you neighborhood announced that this is the plan? If so, what it the additional cost to implement this?
We were in a contract process to develop a Government-owned machine that could produce up to 1.5MM masks/day
