How Amazon & McKinsey Utilized AI Predictive Capabilities to Preorder Masks During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The perpetual digital panopticon enables the Internet of Things to shift its focus towards your behavior being the commodity, leading to a sense of perpetual digital invisibility.
Amazon's Prediction on Mask Usage in January 2020
In the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak, Amazon's predictive algorithms foresaw a significant increase in demand for facial masks. Leveraging data analysis and historical trends, Amazon anticipated the urgency of the situation and proactively ordered masks from distributors to meet customer needs promptly. Amazon, an emblem of technological prowess and foresight, embarked on a profound journey, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to confront the escalating demand for protective masks.
Amazon comprehensively utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) across its organization, employing a flywheel approach to maintain momentum, transfer innovations between teams, share data transparently, and prioritize customer satisfaction. Examples include AI-driven recommendation engines, Alexa capabilities, automated warehouses, and innovative shopping experiences like Amazon Go stores, demonstrating Amazon's commitment to leveraging AI for continual innovation and customer-centricity.
With keen foresight and strategic acumen, Amazon leveraged its predictive capabilities and fortified supply chain systems to preemptively preorder masks. Delving deep into the labyrinth of data, Amazon's sophisticated AI algorithms meticulously analyzed historical sales trends, consumer behaviors, and the ominous specter of global health crises. This profound predictive analytics enabled Amazon to anticipate the impending surge in mask requirements, paving the path for proactive measures to secure ample stock.
Partnering with McKinsey & Company, a venerable titan in management consulting, Amazon refined its supply chain methodologies to expedite the procurement and distribution of masks. Through the application of McKinsey's unparalleled expertise, Amazon streamlined its logistical infrastructure, ensuring the seamless flow of preordered masks to strategically positioned fulfillment centers worldwide.
As reports of price gouging and inflated prices for masks permeated the digital landscape, Amazon stood as a bastion of consumer protection and integrity. Implementing stringent pricing policies and AI-driven monitoring mechanisms, Amazon vigilantly safeguarded against unfair practices, ensuring that customers had unfettered access to masks at reasonable rates.
The $cience Vs Profit Conundrum
While Amazon's predictive capabilities have undoubtedly been instrumental in meeting customer needs and optimizing business operations, they also raise important ethical considerations or do they?
The decision to prioritize the pre-ordering of facial masks over other products, such as hydroxychloroquine, highlights the delicate balance between serving public health interests and maximizing profits.
However in a series of recent developments, CDC Director Mandy Cohen's handling of mask mandates and the efficacy of N95 respirators has come under scrutiny. Despite evading questions on mask mandates for toddlers and promoting N95 respirators as superior to surgical masks, CDC's own scientists have contradicted these claims, asserting that there is no significant difference in their effectiveness in stopping viruses. This discrepancy has led to internal conflict within the CDC, with the agency now warning researchers against suggesting equivalence between masks and respirators. Furthermore, historical CDC publications have shown mixed conclusions regarding the effectiveness of masks in preventing respiratory virus transmission, highlighting inconsistencies in the agency's messaging and policy decisions throughout the pandemic.

In the curious case of our duo, Zinc and Hydroxychloroquine, “Artificial Intelligence” decides to totally ignores three published papers.
No not that one…
Hydroxychloroquine: Pharmacokinetics and Toxicity
Not this one either! Those studies are for treating people whom are already sick.
No Zinc and Hydroxychlorquine combo is a Prophylaxis Method - Meaning: Prevention of or Protective Treatment for Disease.
Zn(2+) inhibits coronavirus and arterivirus RNA polymerase activity in vitro and zinc ionophores block the replication of these viruses in cell culture by Ralph S Baric in 2010

The 2005 Chloroquine is a Potent Inhibitor of SARS Coronavirus Infection and Spread
Now the One Billion Dollar Question
"Do masks prevent transmission? - Now talk about a goose chase!
In February 11th, 2020, the first study on asymptomatic transmission emerges in the New England Journal of Medicine, selling us on the idea that anyone, kids included, could infect another without knowing.
Here's how it works: the mask was mainly to 'protect' against asymptomatic transmission that is basically made up. People with no symptoms could not transmit the virus. You would have to be sick first in order to transmit anything; the virus would have to infect you, then replicate itself, then transmit, in that order.
Democide refers to "the intentional killing of an unarmed or disarmed person by government agents acting in their authoritative capacity and pursuant to government policy or high command."
