True change

The world needs to disband the massively expensive defense budgets all across the planet and convert their military members to medics and defeat this disease and when it's over do not return to the massive defense spending.


Live in peace!

Slow Testing?

A company I use to work at when it was in Nutley NJ is coming through with quick 3-hour test kits in volume

New Coronavirus Test 10 Times Faster Is FDA Approved

FDA grants emergency use approval to highly automated process

Roche shares jump 11%, the most in more than two-decade

U.S. health regulators have approved a new coronavirus test that will speed up by tenfold the ability to test patients, helping solve a significant obstacle to American efforts to contain the virus.
The Food and Drug Administration granted “emergency use authorization” to the test, which runs on Roche Holding AG’s cobas 6800/8800 systems. The 8800 system is capable of testing 4,128 patients a day, and the 6800 version can test as many as 1,440. The tool also is available in Europe and countries that accept its CE marking for medical devices.
Roche shares traded 11% higher at 1:29 p.m. in Zurich, the steepest intraday increase since 1997.



We can surmise the slow testing in Europe and America is due to the monetary windfall that will take place by
these mercenary drug companies.

Its NO DOUBT about it. In-fact they're putting it in our faces and we will and can do nothing about it.
Trump's slow response to testing is related to this.
