Good insights in to the changing patterns of camera buyers, and why. I agree with every observation he made (I think I usually agree with everything Thomas posts!)
This article discusses camera industry factors and consumer behaviours that may be affecting buying criteria of cameras and lenses.

Think that drone deliveries are the most environmentally friendly way to do future deliveries? Not so fast, claims a new study from Germany.

Journalists are morons when it comes to 3D:
The quarantine also meant they no longer had access to their special 3D goggles

They literally rave over “VR HELMETS” but tell us that “3D goggles” were unwieldy. Have covered this many, many times. Many reporters call 3D glasses “goggles” but then write enthusiastically about VR helmets – this makes no sense what so ever.
Last Friday, the mayor of Elizabeth, New Jersey, where there are more than 1,400 confirmed cases of COVID-19, announced plans to deploy drones to enforce social-distancing rules.

Yesterday I looked up the CDC’s rules on isolation and quarantine. They have the power to apprehend and move anyone with a contagious disease into quarantine. They also have a similar power for those who are thought to be a direct risk of spreading the disease due to likely having direct contact with the sick. I could not find anything giving them the right to order the quarantine of healthy people. Would like to see others with more knowledge on that topic provide us with some insight.
It seems the CDC has chosen to declare that everyone in the country is a high risk spreader of disease, which seems questionable.
They are being used with sensors to detect people out and about, and to broadcast public health announcements from overhead speakers.
I wonder how long until the AmazonUPSGoogle drone fleets decide to play loud advertising as they fly low over our homes and cities?
