HIPAA only applies to Covered Entities. 23andMe does not meet the HHS definition of a Covered Entity.

My completely uninformed guess is:

1. we all forgot how to drive like normal people during/after lockdowns and,
2. cars continue to get bigger and heavier, so accidents are more likely to result in total loss

Presumably not, since the repurposed cells won’t have the same surface antigens that the immune system targets for destruction.
