Big on hype, but no actual detail. Please- Daily Mail, Wikipedia are like Hello, Pronto, Bunte when it comes to established facts.   Come back when this  next big thing has been actually tested in real world circumstances.

 

Also, no one seems to take into consideration impact of all of these test kits reagents, gloves, masks, syringes.

We keep  being told that we are facing climate crisis, environment crisis.
