Masks are selling out in the US. Local home depot near me has limited sales to 1 box per customer.



https://www.bbc.com/news/51245373

quote:

Hours after the first case of coronavirus was confirmed in the US, surgical masks began selling out at the pharmacies in Seattle, where a resident recently returned from China had fallen ill.

Now, reports have emerged of runs on pharmacies in New York and stockpiles being collected in Los Angeles.

In Washington DC, masks have been sold out since the weekend, as the number of confirmed cases in the US rose to five.

"I immediately ordered a box of masks online after I heard of the first US case," said Tina Liu, a Chinese student at the University of Washington, not far from Seattle in Washington state.

My wife put in an order with amazon for 4 boxes of masks to send to China days ago. It only now shipped even tho it was prime delivery.

Do the masks actually do anything or are they just placebo?

Naw, it's probably a legit video. The Huawei P30 from last year could achieve this kind of zoom.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9or-Uk6Y9xk&t=55s

Smartphones nowadays use multiple image sensors with their own lenses set at different zoom lengths. When you use a camera app and zoom in, the software is actually doing to zooming and switching inbetween the different sensors to give the appearance that you can zoom through a large distance. Huawei's work on engineering this stuff, as well as image stabilization and image processing to clean up high-zoom image is nothing to scoff at.

What's eye-rolling is saying the US is going after Huawei because of smartphone zoom tech. For a propagandist trying to prop up China, this guy does a great job of doing the opposite.

Of course they are. The poor fucks voted for a personalised Trump who immediately threw them all under the bus by ripping out worker rights provisions etc and will totally not try to piecemeal sell off or under fund the NHS. The BBC comment section makes Genocide ok china thread look sane. The BBC is one of the finest news reporters in the world and instead they read the loving tabloids while bitching endlessly about licensing fees.

The BBC's been thoroughly compromised now, forced to follow Tory party line or have its funding slashed, and probably took the idea from Australia to stack the staff with ex-Murdoch reporters.

This is true as it has been increasingly apparent they don't call out blatant BS in the UK. Briext was sold completely on lies but it just kept letting it slide when it should have nailed the government to the wall and then some. They have become overly ridged, weaknesses exploited, made to do this impossible dance when it should have replied with the middle finger. You can feel how strung out the staff at the BBC is which is no doubt why a bunch of them years a ago upped to go to Aljezzeria.

I would say it's inevitable when they are required to treat mainstream opinions even handedly no matter how dumb they get. You can see it in their China reporting:

Some people have suggested that Huawei may be vaguely possibly but probably not linked to the CCP, bit only as a theory and never proven in a Chinese court...

There is no denying that BBC staff are absolute luvvies though and it is very obvious always.
