Kolek planning to go pro
For me, this brings to mind the discussion a few years ago about electric cars. Part of that was about driverless, shareable cars in urban areas. Get into an autonomous pod, ride a couple of miles, get out, somebody else uses the autonomous pod. Who cleans the autonomous pods? Same problem with taking public transportation of any kind. Just like you don't know if the person standing next to you on the El has the latest virus, how will you know if a previous pod user had the coronavirus, or whatever the latest crisis bug du jour is? China is shutting down public transportation. Would the same have to happen to the autonomous pods?Just something to mull over as we go through this pandemic and await the next.
Who cleans the autonomous pods? Would the same have to happen to the autonomous pods?
That isn't comforting.
It should be. More than likely, these shared cars will be made of easily cleanable materials... like the subway is. Plus, you know there will be a rating system much like Uber, and one of the parts will be cleanliness.
Yeah, the subway. The bastion of cleanliness and freedom from germs.
Reports that over 2,000 in India are now infected. Report came out of the blue. This is going to get much worse before it gets better.
Tried to find a link for that .. source?
Ha, yes. But it is technically easy to clean.
Sorry, I should have written 'suspected'.https://www.aninews.in/news/national/general-news/2826-suspected-coronavirus-cases-being-monitored-in-kerala-says-health-minister20200206223440/
“Service Error”
Just like the streets of SF, Seattle, LA, well basically most major cities of california, NYC, Austin, tx, etc. these areas have become Petri dishes of disease that we had once eradicated. Everyone, including the so called environmentalists should be appalled at the amount of waste being washed into our waterways and or spread through the air, on our shoes, etc.
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/third-coronavirus-case-reported-from-india/articleshow/73895001.cms3 confirmed, about 2000 under observation. I've seen that number as high as 2800
Very anxious to see how much movement is made on getting people back to their work locations. Work is set to begin on Monday and millions, in theory, should be on their way or getting ready to travel and this will be a nervous time in China. I have been under the belief that is a far more serious issue and still feel that way.Aside from lives, which is the sad part, potential economic fallout could be staggering. I believe the stock market has completely discounted a potentially very, very, very big Black Swan.
Rorschach?
Just the trolls way of injecting politics - railing against "liberal" cities.
