Paul Gundlach I love this but the people who haven’t cared about Covid for over two years aren’t going to start caring now. The rest of us who are extremely cautious are going to remain so. But I am still happy to have something additional in our arsenal of protection.

Daydreamer Now put these in every school, have teachers and students pass it every morning. Restaurants, businesses. This could literally be a game changer if we actually used it with the other tools we have.
