My observations only....nothing more
Obviously I just made this account today, because I'm not here to fight with anyone or go back and forth with you guys. I do not have the time for that. I have been a long member here and do not need your bashing towards me, for what I observed. I'm only going to share what I observed with you.
So I was listening to everyone going back and forth on SH. I decided since I was going to be in the area I would go to Kontrol myself and talk to someone. Instead of listening to individuals I do not know on the internet, I wanted to make my own observations/conclusions. Thought it was important to report back to you guys what I observed myself though.
First thing I noticed, this was an industrial area with lots of buildings/companies. There seemed to be a lot of cars in parking lots at majority of the buildings, lots of individuals around the area working/walking/breaks/etc. Not that I was there to observe them, I was just going there for Kontrol. This was my initial observations or the area itself, around 1-2pm during a weekday.
This is what I observed, when I went into the building. First you have to go upstairs to the second floor. At the top of the stairs to the left, was another company which had employees working. All the cars parked out front had signs in front of them for this company.
I walked to my right of hallway to the Kontrol doors, which were locked and all the lights were out at 1-2pm. It was very dark inside which made it hard to take pictures/video. I however looked inside the door and saw the front reception desk to the left, which had nothing at all on it, so accurate so far what had been mentioned on SH previously. I took a video showing the door was locked.
I proceeded to go outside, Kontrol had some parking spots with signs and no cars were parked there. I went to the side of building to the shipping/receiving doors. Kontrol did have a box on their door which looked like a key lock box. It was the only company door to have one back there. I took pictures of all the doors on that side of building.
These were my observations only and nothing more. I’m not here to bash or pump Kontrol, just relaying my personal observations. Here is the twitter handle I had time to make today just for you, with photos and video of locked door. Sorry I could not do it sooner.

Thanks for your effort and reporting. If this is the administrative office, then in the context of a pandemic and remote working, not a big deal. In terms of manufacturing facilities, the NR spoke for itself...no need to try to figure out anymore how OES could be assembling 10,000 units per month if the parking lot and the street are not full.

PG always seems to be at a home office when he's doing videos. The whole office could be doing the same, with the occasional drop-by at the office to pick up mail or something. I'd expect there to be more activity at CEMSI, which is really the group carrying the BioCloud ball (or dropping it depending on your mood).

I will give it to Mike. He did go there and take pics and videos and post them. Everything he has said is shown there but the question is, is Kontrol working from home? If so, why wouldn't they just install a biocloud in their office and support their own product?

Yeah...lots of possible scenarios. I really do not understand the concerted effort to attack the company. Shorts I guess.

Wilander it could be true as many people work from home due to Covid. Toronto and Ottawa are pretty bare due to most people are working from home . So his "observations" could be accurate but not for the reasons he is alluding to.

Who cares about the pics Jilly? They were taken and shown to do only one thing. Spread FUD. If anyone here thinks Kontrol isnt full on at work right now -- whether in the field, home or in the office -- is a fool. Cant believe this discussion is even happening.

So many business are operating remotely, those pics/vids hold no merit.
