You realize that there are countries that are in complete lockdown, right? These are not normal, but very serious times. If all a country had to do was pay for the use of 3 full 747s, for a mere 12 hour flight, to get a solution to save cou

If you pay close attention, you actually didn't refute my logic at all but called it "garbage" and "false". Ok man, you need to learn how to think through stuff and come back when you're ready.

Flight here is 12 hours. So you don't think it's possible? Why?

Thanks for sharing your story. It's rough for immigrants and I can certainly sympathize. I've seen the news of extremely racist things done to Asians in America due to this virus. Let's unpack what you said here: "you&#x

A flight is 12 hours. Considering it's a highly urgent need for a very unique circumstance... we're not shipping, IDK, keychains or something.

You realize that you're the racist here for pulling the race card, right? I'm not on your side just because you're Asian. I'm interested in the general well being of ALL people, Asian or not, in the US. I'm sorry yo

Ok, so then you agree they need to be tested, we just disagree on how quantitatively extensive it needs to be. So you tell me then, what percentage of these 1M masks do we test? Do we test 1% of it and say they're safe to use, or do we

So if you notice, you literally defended someone's "cmmon man" argument as NOT a waste of everyone's time. How about you think about this, for a second, hmm? Studies as of now suggest that the virus can last for 3 days o

I've said it repeatedly, but I'll say it again. Here's the logic for you to refute. 1. Mask / test kit made in China. 2. Presumably, it came in contact with the hands of the people making it, in China. 3. If any of those

You put words in my mouth. My concern isn't that it's not "good quality". My concern is, the thing is literally coming from the country where the virus originated from to begin with. Presumably, these things were made wi

So, if you do the thing you suggested yourself, and NOT infer an assumption of a geopolitically motivated act coming from me, you will see that my logic as stated in point 1 and 2 is actually pragmatic and logical. Assume no malicious inten

I don't care about "some spec". I want to know how this product, that is coming from China, isn't already tainted with the virus itself. Your refutation to my logic is "cmmon man" ? It would lead to what action

I'd argue that that is better. Because if you're not tested, you know that you don't know. But if you get a false-negative (the test tells you're not infected, but you actually are), you think you're not infected,

And what if the mask itself is already tainted with the virus? Wouldn't you want to verify that it's actually free of the virus in the first place? It is coming from China.

So if you get a negative result from the test-kit, you let the person go, then later after the fact, you realize that it's a false-negative and you shouldn't have let the patient go ... now you've just spread the virus even
