PCR, LAMP, antigenní nebo protilátkové. Každý test na covid má smysl, ale vždy jiný účel
Během dvou dní otestovali na Slovensku tři a půl milionu lidí. V České republice se mají opakovaně na koronavirus testovat desítky tisíc klientů a zaměstnanců domovů pro seniory a dalších zařízení.

5G: The outsourced elephant in the room - Articles
In a break from the usual GPS/Galileo, DNA and C++ posts, here is a bit on 5G and national security. It turns out that through PowerDNS and its parent company Open-Xchange, we know a lot about how large scale European communication service providers work - most of whom are our customers in some way. In addition, in a previous life I worked in national security and because of that I have relevant knowledge of how governments (your own and foreign ones) “interact” with telecommunication providers.
