Whitmer is being touted as Biden’s running mate, but that was before this. She wasn’t particularly popular as governor, having been swept in with the blue tide in 2018. So far, she’s been getting a boost from this, but I’ll be interested to see her polling in the wake of her petty tyranny. And not just her, but all such petty tyrants. I hope people will remember this fall.
I’ve never worried about the food itself; my concern is the packaging. As it says, take the food out of it, dispose, and wash your hands. It’s also good that the drive-through cashiers are holding out the machine for you to insert your card in, rather than taking it from you and handing it back.
Testing capacity in Germany will be increased by up to factor 10 to up to 400,000 a day (!) by doing pooled testing. E.g mix 16 samples and if negative – all are negative, otherwise binary search for the positve(s). Could of course be used worldwide. https://t.co/X9lg4V90GE

As the thread points out, you could just do one test per household, on the assumption that if one is infected, all are or will be. Hope the CDC/White House are aware of this thinking, because it makes a hell of a lot of sense to accelerate our knowledge of the scope.
