on spending fcukton on "better" bombs.
D is absolutely working from HOME. R is checked out. M,,, have no indications of ramp up.
Can't connect any dots except to say,,, Better D, involves quite a few mothballs to say the least in that supply chain from places i've seen.
In COVID space:
R&D getting revved up worldwide. At least 100 companies working on testing, scaling etc. BioSpook says, past the point of swabbing,,, but won't stop testing. To paraphrase "Shit is everywhere,, and its in the shit." my guess is aside from isolated shortages of reagents industry about 6 weeks from full ramp. would expect exponential impact. Have queried a lot, and I'm not seeing much in the realm of actual shortages being thought about at this time for reagents etc,,, nobody has thought about exotics,,, like amphoterrible, etc etc.
In the N95 space. In tinkering space connected to EOC people trying to find N95 masks.

Made calls. Indeed, yep yep, can be made fair trade not one not two not 3... In shit-hole country, N95 is NIOSH stamp. Last checked in non-shithole country no healthcare providers dropping dead in large numbers.
Current regulatory monopoly,,,, barrier to entry,,,, only N95 is acceptable in hospital setting per CDC, and of course at a premium. Else liability concern legal no-no, .etc etc...
Current nurses and doctors losing their shit about reuse... because correct ink and steam, like gasoline to get more toilet paper is,,, after all, in short supply.

Invite anyone to check my math on N95, and make a few calls.
Screaming from fucking rooftops,,, so far, nobody listening.
