is that high risk houses or Hi-So Houses.

There doesnt appear to be many Lo-So Houses in the photo shoot.

hahaha Well, those certainly aren't anything AT ALL remotely close to anywhere in the same universe as Hi-So houses! Just the typical <deleted> middle of the road houses that look like they were built 20+ years ago.

Don't forget no alcohol on Wednesday... You boys could get into trouble. 

thanks for reminding me

The level of stupidity is immeasurable! I can't even begin to imagine how anybody could think that a virus spread by inhalation will be helped by spraying alcohol! Do they think they can kill the virus in the air!? OMG There is not a single solitary possibility that this could help in any way, but there are numerous ways that this could cause problems!   T.I. effin T.

Yes! It is shocking how not only uniformed people in leadership are, but how they completely lack any kind of common sense.
From the article you linked - (And this is NOT new information!)

"Spraying disinfectants outside or across broad spaces indoors to try to kill coronavirus can do more harm than good, the World Health Organization advised Saturday (May 15th).

And spraying people is a really bad idea, WHO said in an updated advisory on infection control."

Seriously, this thing is not to be underestimated, they are obsessed with the goal of being better than the others in the world in fighting this virus, which make them dangerous

By using a backwards mindset that doesn’t fit the gold standard that Most first world countries enjoy, — the ultimate in individual freedoms that is consistent with law and order. 

 

It’s no different from outlawing booze and then saying “look, we have the least amount of alcohol consumption in the world! We are number 1!”

 

That’s what these clowns don’t realize, nobody civilized is going to praise you because you initiated a brutal crackdown, knee jerk restrictions and over zealous lockdown measures to get numbers under control, because it’s ends don’t justify the means. You achieved this position by instituting a system that causes economic devastation, deaths-of-despair including suicide, drug and alcohol overdoses and addictions, crime, and even more crippling poverty and unemployment.

A family a couple of sois away from us got Covid-19.  A couple of weeks later they came by and sprayed our house.

In other words, the restrictions has caused far more damage than the virus. Well I think there's no doubt about that now

I wouldn’t say “far more” but it’s quantifiable that the effects of lockdown and fear mongering by the media for profit, have had an impact upon the collective mental health of society.

 

A big issue, is the response to the threat compared to the threat itself. Seriously, banning ALL indoor dining because of a virus that greater than 98% people will fully recover from? Closing parks, gyms, curfews, etc. It’s nothing more than fear mongering.  Just sit in your house all day for years or longer until the virus magically disappears.  Because that’s what viruses do, they just go away magically.  Nevermind that widespread vaccination of the “vanilla” flu viruses didn’t stop the flu, and over half a million die from it every year even with full on, mass vaccinations. 

Also, Who in their right mind will ever take a job working at a restaurant or a gym again? Your entire livelihood can be taken away on a whim. Who will ever become a pilot again? 
 

If you aren’t prepared to pay people at least 70% of their monthly wages while you expect or nigh-force them to stay home all day with mind numbing boredom, don’t be surprised when a lot of them start to oppose the idea that some pseudo-intellectual in some far-off capitol can plan the lives of you, and your family, better than you can plan it yourself.

As usual, off at a tangent, every approach gets ridiculed irrespective of the context.

If people do not like what is on the stage, there is always another theatre.

you brought it up about sniffer dogs I simply commented - do you disagree with what I said ?, do you actually have anything meaningful to contribute to the discussion of the OP ?

I think they are smart enough to know that they must spray 70% alcohol from the drone to have a good efficacy, COVID will be eradicated from the spayed area and they will all finally be safe

Steps are taken and action initiated not to accomplish anything more than "to create the illusion of progress".

It seems the solution to all mishaps (pollution, Covid etc..) is to load up drones and uselessly spray everything.  Some things just cant be sprayed away!

All it takes is the right stuff.

Why don't they just dangle a bunch of amulets from the drone and fly around?  It works in vehicles.

They tested it, the virus can spread over a distance of 6 metres !

 

In all sincerity, "spread"?  "they" tested it? Many virologists are in total disagreement about what "they" say about the specifics of Covid.

I never read/see something so stupid. It is ridiculous. Is it a joke or a true real news ?

China owes about $10 trillion in reparations to the world. The "country" is incomparably worse than North Korea on every level.

The virus is airborne.  A vast majority get the virus from air droplets, not from surfaces.

WHO Finally Admits Coronavirus Is Airborne. It’s Too Late

And yet it’s already established that it’s far safer outside than it is inside if you’re trying to avoid covid. 
https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/04/13/covid-outside-safety/

 

“And with good reason, according to many scientists and public health experts, who say that the outdoor spaces now warming under spring sun should be viewed as havens in the battle against a stubborn virus and restriction-induced fatigue. For more than a year, the vast majority of documented coronavirus clusters have been linked to indoor or indoor-outdoor settings — households, meatpacking plants, nursing homes and restaurants. Near-absent are examples of transmission at beaches and other open spaces where breezes disperse airborne particles, distancing is easier, and humidity and sunlight render the coronavirus less viable.”
