Who cares. Electric Cars aren't a solution to anything, and if climate change was actually the priority of any government the discussion would be phasing out personal Automobiles by 2030, not talking about EVs.
Dumb dumb dumb.
"Hospitals to enact rule compelling doctors and surgeons to wash hands."
"Who cares? That won't get rid of all bacteria and viruses existing, just reduce infection rates and improve the entire healthcare industry."
