Fed Gov't never delivered..... Despite that failure, individual labs and states are doing a lot more testing than before.

But testing does not actually prevent anything when it is always after the fact - people carrying the virus are still spreading it.

Robot dog enforces social distancing in Singapore park
https://www.bbc.com/news/av/technology- ... apore-park

A robot dog is patrolling one of Singapore's parks as part of coronavirus-related trial.

The machine - made by US-based Boston Dynamics - is fitted with a camera to monitor how busy Bishan-Ang Moh Kio Park becomes.

It also carries a loudspeaker to broadcast social-distancing messages.

That robot would have to be equipped with an AR15 in this country. :mrgreen:

Feds spent nearly $100B on pandemic readiness, health security in decade leading up to coronavirus crisis

Numbers from a paper in the academic journal "Health Security" released in late 2018 indicate that the government spent between $10 billion and $12 billion each year from 2010 to 2018 across several agencies on programs that contribute to "biosecurity," the management of "pandemic influenza and emerging infectious diseases," and "multiple-hazard and general preparedness" programs that assist in readiness for and response to different types of health threats, including diseases like the coronavirus.

In California anybody who dies is counted as a coronavirus death in order to keep the hysteria going.

Pathetic display of ignorance. Does demonstrate just how easily people in this country can be misinformed and manipulated.

In ABCNews this noon, it was shown that the "Round The Clock Diner" in York, a favorite of TCA Meet patrons, has opened, and acknowledges its deliberate defiance of PA's governor.

Another related report mentioned the importance of air circulation in restaurants, with the desirability of a window being open to work with any air conditioner , to keep the air inside moving thru , not just rolling around inside a closed chamber.

I wonder what will happen after these acts of defiance across the country leads to deaths of customers, patrons, their family members, and the owners of the businesses. Culling the herd..........
