“There are definitely manufacturers stepping back without full confidence there will be a government or any market for Covid tests,” said Aspinall. Companies making Covid tests, equipment and supplies have also seen a hefty drop in Covid-related sales. The Biden administration had aimed to provide some stability to the Covid testing market by purchasing a steady supply of Covid tests to send to Americans for free. But Congress has failed to pass a Covid spending package that included $2 billion for testing, and last month the White House said it was ending its free Covid testing program.

Sursa foto: Daily MailDezvăluiri din Wuhan: Ce s-a întâmplat înainte ca „pacientul zero” să infecteze lumeaOamenii de ştiinţă de la laboratorul din Wuhan despre care se crede că a avut un rol în eliberarea noului coronavirus ar fi dezvăluit că au fost muşcaţi în timp ce colectau mostre dintr-o peşteră plină de lilieci infectaţi. Conform The Sun, unul dintre cercetători - de la Wuhan Institute of Virology (W.I.V) - pretinde că dinţii liliacului au trecut prin mănuşile lui de cauciuc ”ca nişte ace”. Un video - care a apărut prima oară acum doi ani - arată oameni de ştiinţă care lucrează pe ”virusuri vii” fără mănuşi şi mască, ignorând regulile de siguranţă impuse de Organizaţia Mondială a Sănătăţii. Toate aceste informaţii vin la 24 de ore după ce s-a scris în presa occidentală că omul de ştiinţă, denumit şi ”pacientul zero”, care a dispărut din laboratorul din Wuhan la începutul pandemiei, încă este de negăsit după un an de căutări, scrie Business Magazin. Într-un video şocant, cercetătorii pot fi văzuţi colectând fecale de liliac fără echipament de protecţie în afară de mănuşi.
