Compromised remote updates on self driving automobiles is scary. We’re probably one supply chain attack away from Teslas performing a DDoS attack in real life.

Does this mean COVID is over? I thought once the vaccines were available we could move on with life, but somehow the goal posts kept moving. Will people accept the much smaller risk of hospitalization once this pill is available?
