Follow the money. Here in Nairobi it is now required to take a Covid test before one flies out of the country. The commissioned laboratory to perform the tests is: Lancet Labs that operates East Africawide. You can clear see that the lab owners cut a deal with the Kenyan health authorities to cash in on Covid and government put in place the policy.. Last week Kenyan Airways flew expats back to London but could not bring Kenyans stranded in the UK. Why? Because the Kenyan government now requires people to travel to Kenya to be tested for Covid. Fine, you would say. But the UK does not test people willy nilly, The Brits only test for Covid people who are showing symptoms. Thus no test. No flying back to Kenya. The WHO, obviously, is looking to have their cronies make money with these schemes. If we know how those things work, in 5 years time people will still be paying for tests just for the sake of the business of Lancet Labs. You need to know how the world works. The world is not California. Trust me. California is the fantasyland amigo

“This (pandemic) is showing what bulls--t most AI hype is. It’s great and it will be useful one day but it’s not surprising in a pandemic that we fall back on tried and tested techniques.” A.I. can’t solve this: The coronavirus could be highlighting just how overhyped the industry is PUBLISHED WED, APR 29 20201:24 AM EDTUPDATED MOMENTS AGO Sam Shead @SAM_L_SHEAD KEY POINTS Big AI firms like DeepMind, OpenAI and Facebook AI have remained relatively quiet throughout the crisis. AI has huge potential, but right now scientists are turning to tried and tested technologies instead. Of course, there are a few useful AI projects happening here and there. cnbc.com
