The bad information will get out and then uses the "persecution" they getting as evidence that they are telling the truth. The only way to fight bad information is with good information and the CDC and WHO are just not putting it out well or consistently so people are looking for something.

When I hand a tablet or smartphone to a kid their first reaction is what games does it have? These devices are doomed to fail as there is a constant nagging distraction associated with a screen saying it is for entertainment. It is the same reason psychologists will tell you not to work or read in bed. Most people who try to work or read in bed find they are quickly nodding off. It is not to say it can't be done, but you are sending mixed signals to your brain and will not get the optimal result.

There is no need to replace a cheap piece of glass or plastic with an expensive electronic system. this story should be under engineering overwritten by marketing to the detriment of all. The waste generated by this would be enormous also, so where is the outrage from that point of view? This is a stupid thing coming and going. In engineering, many times simple is best and it is hard to get more simple than a piece of silvered glass or plastic.
