   They read the Acknowledgements. There are strong links between The Tele and Fox News. The lead journo - Sharri Markson - was on the Tucker Carlson thing

   Yeah - they keep talking about the Acknowledgements - I mean, do they actually understand what they are? How garbage like this can actually end up in a 'newspaper' these days is beyond me. Concentrated stupidity.

   I like the idea of stealth pangolins. Maybe add in a little genetic engineering to turn them into a more effectiveweapon? Relatively simple to do if you have the scientific resources of the whole Red Army at your disposal.Substitute the keratin in the scales with spider dragline silk, which is more durable than Kevlar - then load then upwith exotic coronaviruses. We all should just surrender now.

   I agree Bob. Did you see that Singapore robodog? I think they missed a brilliant opportunity to use pangolins instead. Not even Black Mirror have thought of that. https://www.smh.com.au/world/asia/roaming-robodog-tells-singapore-park-goers-to-keep-their-distance-20200509-p54rcs.html

   Does it have offensive capabilities? Jeez - are we only a few years from sentinels? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinel_%28comics%29

   Did you see this paper? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32373995/?dopt=Abstract

   After reading the abstract, I don't think I really need to?

   That's as far as I got as well.
