RE:RE:RE:Replacement Chamber CostWhydunnit, Covid is expected to just cost the taxpayers $380,000,000,000 this fiscal year. If chambers need to be changed every day because of detecting Covid, the place that is doing it has a much bigger problem on its hands than $300 per cartridge. How much does it cost the local skate shop to close for business. How well will the foodbank do when its clientele increases because of folk having to stay at home and not get paid? As for schools, I skoff at the cost of teachers sometime so if hiring one less keeps the school open... Or perhaps we can save a lot of money by having one online teacher reaching out to hundreds of students as opposed to 25ish. (the cost will probably decrease over time).

$300 is a rounding error to any real business or government.
What does Pokemon have to do with anything? Nothing, that's what. Does your son own a business? If not, he is also irrelevant. $300 is nothing? I'll believe you when you give $300 every day, or twice a day, to the local food bank. The local skate shop that has three employees (including the owner) is just as much a real business as Sunoco. So is every business in between. $300 might be two days of profit. How about a school that can't afford enough teachers but every day has a new covid infectee coming to class, or multiple new infectees (like 39)? Just a rounding error? That school will need a maintenance worker to do nothing but change chambers and will have to lay off a teacher or two to pay for the hardware if they want to stay within budget, as insisted on by the school board. Over the lifespan of a BioCloud unit there will be some locations that spend more on replacement chambers than on the unit itself. So yeah, it's something that needs focusing on. I hope KNR is doing that.
