Re: [DIYbio] Re: DIY COVID-19 PCR test

Journalists are not competent nor objective. No one should talk to them.

Here are obvious prevention aspects of the story which journalists
have missed due to lack of science education and critical thinking
skills (plus alternatively, biased fear mongering and sensationalism),
presented as fact based. Any generic undergraduate who wrote articles
similar to the typical journalist for even a lower division science
class would earn a failing grade.

The SARS, MERS and novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemics, the newest

CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that we did not learn from the two prior
epidemics of coronavirus and were ill-prepared to deal with the
challenges the COVID-19 epidemic has posed. Future research should
attempt to address the uses and implications of internet of things
(IoT) technologies for mapping the spread of infection.
