Posted on / by [email protected]_84 /

  • At Tesla’s 2020 shareholder’s meeting, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the company’s vehicle deliveries in 2020 would be up 30% to 40% from last year, a range that encompasses its previous prediction of 500,000 cars delivered this year.
  • The meeting took place before Tesla’s “battery day,” where Musk and executive Drew Baglino talked about the company’s plans to make its own large battery cells, which should lead to more affordable, efficient vehicles.
  • Musk, who is well-known for exuberant promises, also predicted the company will be able to make a $25,000 full self-driving car within three years.

CDC abruptly removes guidance about airborne coronavirus transmission, says update ‘was posted in error’ | Health

Posted on / by [email protected]_84 /

In language posted Friday and now removed, CDC said Covid-19 most commonly spread between people who are in close contact with one another, and went on to say it’s known to spread “through respiratory droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols, produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks or breathes.”

These particles can cause infection when “inhaled into the nose, mouth, airways, and lungs,” the agency said. “This is thought to be the main way the virus spreads.”

“There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others, and travel distances beyond 6 feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants, or in fitness classes),” the page said in the Friday update, which has since been removed. “In general, indoor environments without good ventilation increase this risk.”

In the Friday update, the CDC had added
