Amazon is reportedly working to find a cure for the common cold
Amazon disrupted the books, grocery, and shipping business, and now it's set its sights on viral infections. The tech company has apparently tasked a team of employees to research and develop a cure for the common cold, a CNBC report indicates today. Under an effort called "Project Gesundheit," three people familiar with the effort tell CNBC that Amazon is specifically looking to develop a vaccine that would stave off cold infections. This small team exists under the broader Grand Challenge group within Amazon, CNBC says.

The aspect of this situation that stigmatizes the Chinese is not that the disease started there, but that they sold test animals from a level 4 bioweapons lab in a meat market to make a few extra kuài. That is a fatal level of dumb-assery for which they deserve all the scorn they're getting. Also, they deserve scorn for not teaching their kids basic hygiene like washing your hands, not spitting on the floors of restaurants, cleaning things that are dirty, and refraining from urinating and defecating on public streets and squares.
