Hi Kevin,

In the financial community, there is a lot of talk of China planting devices in technology exported to the US with the goal of spying and the reporting of interns from China coming to the US with the goal of stealing intellectual property. Being that I haven't seen a question this so far, I wanted to ask what the significance of this is and what danger this poses on the US. Some recent memos from the CIA name it a non-threat, but many folks in the community claim that this is a tactic to calm the public. What do you know and what can you share about Chinese spying on US and their potential development of disablement technology that could impact remote devices like satellites and drones?

I think this AMA is bullshit and that this guy could easily be an actor. I think the proof is insufficient and that a passport with a censored face shows cawardice and that you don't want these words tied to an identity for whatever reason.

Also, US citizen here. We should definitely stay the fuck out. Hezbollah, Russia, and the US are actively trying to manipulate this region and this situation, and that there isn't enough evidence to correctly describe what it was that actually occurred and who it was that caused it. That is all.

What is your opinion on the idea that some people proposing, that media are exaggerating the deadliness of this disease in order to boost sensationalism and sell papers? Many people use the SARS situation in the early 2000s as evidence of this claim.

To clarify - this comment is meant to read as genuine. I'm curious if you think the medias representation is accurate, exaggerated, or if it's somewhere in the middle and if you can provide some color as to your interactions or interactions you're aware of with researchers and media peeps.
