    If you can't see your neighbors' houses, how do you watch them when they're in the shower?

    That's what a telescope is for. 👹

    And they wonder why states are having difficulty. They will muddle through with major delays, but there is no way anyone is going to stand up a system that could handle this

    It seems to me that where people can work from home, they should. And a lot of people can do, with a few adjustments, at least partially.

    Healthcare is hands-on. Telemedicine is good for getting prescriptions refilled. Not so much for some other things.

    I was fine with reading the temperature, pulse rate, weight, and BP to my doctor on the TelePhysical. The prostate exam however...

    Just find a competent prostitute. Common procedure for a jon that's too slow.

    With or without COVID-19, it’s simply not a good idea to rely on mainland-Chinese equipment in the telecommunications infrastructure. It’s too hard to trust the mainland-Chinese equipment vendors not to simply do whatever the mainland-Chinese government tells them to.

    Bad optics perhaps, but he can fix it easily enough, as Jon suggested. This was set up before the pandemic.

    These must be math-challenged reporters. Is there no one on the news team to help them?

    @Loki said in Cuomo on lab reagents:

    Jolly- what about antigen testing?

    Different ways to do that, such as sandwich technology (usually read on a box) or a cassette test like a pregnancy test. I know the Koreans have been using the latter and I suspect that's where we need to go (along with a serum test for antibodies). I don't know the production capabilities of the cassette test, but I do know there are some result problems.
