Sad how most of the comments on that thread are focused around it being a conspiracy to affect Tesla's stock price.

#12I live close to that plant. I hope they don't just keep spreading that virus and negate the effort we are doing by the "shelter in place". I'm a dialysis patient myself and have no idea what this virus will do to me. I'll probably be cannon fodder if the health system is overloaded.
Are you in contact with people from the plant or do you use separate toilets, cafes, and supermarkets?
Shelter in place is about preventing person-to-person spread of the disease through direct contact or via intermediary such as a bench, chair or physical currency.
COVID-19 is not going to spread from the plant to your house without some kind of transmission mechanism.

#13It will do just the same as any other flu.
This is a dangerous understatement. Please think twice before spreading false information, especially in the current circumstances where misinformation kills for real. Be safe, ciao from Italy

It's the TSLA version of a Trump fanboy - anything that is not 100% supportive is trashed as 100% in opposition to whatever you hold dear. Room for nuance is quickly trolled away because it might leave room for people to think, "hey, that's not right...".

I think you mean cold. Flu is caused by various influenza viruses. Covid-19 is a coronavirus. Coronaviruses belong to a family of viruses that along with other families cause the common cold.

#16I'm surprised that people are surprised. The rules don't apply to wealthy people and organizations:

I hang around both camps and they are exactly the same in that regard. One dismisses all negative commentary and the other dismisses all positive.
The truth is more complicated than either group seems to want to believe.
I did read some of the comments in response to that tweet and they were horrible.

It could plausibly spread between workers at the plant, whether while working, while commuting, while on break, while passing through doors, or via touch surfaces such as doorknobs.

#20To be fair to Tesla, they are much less likely to spread the virus than some of the "essential" services that are allowed to remain open. To be fair to the county, finding that perfect balance of what is essential and what is not is impossible. I can't blame them for coming down on this side of things.
To be fair to the employees, it’s nice to be able to stay safe
