BOMB IT AWAY
ANOTHER EPIDEM-IDEA:
Scientists gave us the flea bomb to get rid of the nasty pests in our homes.
They gave us the neutron bomb to get rid of the nasty people on our planet.
So how about scientists put their efforts into something similar in this situation.
How about a FLU-TRON bomb.
Like “War of the Worlds,” sort of. The earth was being taken over by an alien species, until some bacteria finally emerged to kill all the aliens everywhere, People of the earth were saved! And that wasn’t even on purpose. Here, we could unleash something to kill the viruses and save us all.
Don’t say, “Yeah, but that was science fiction.” Raise you hand if this … situation … doesn’t feel like something straight out of HG Wells’ mind.
So how about it?
We know, for example, that COVID doesn’t have a chance against a good washing with soap and water. How about a launching a mega hose or pump bottle into space and spraying earth down with a massive zap of Ivory? Just 20 seconds, BOOM, we can all go back to food-shopping.

Or … or … We know that for some reason, COVID doesn’t do well in warm weather. We could maybe get Christo to wrap the earth for a day. You know, a tent-like art installation around the our poor old planet in something, maybe transparent, so we’d have like a greenhouse (just for a day!!) and would bring COVID to its horrible little knees.
Or maybe that’s kind risky….
I’m sure you can all come up with good ideas for a planet-wide attack.
Anyway, I’m hoping scientists are already working on this. We obviously have the technology, examples to work from, and (please God), the funding.
So fingers crossed that we’ll soon experience a shortage of Ivory.
Peace, and stay 6 feet apart.
Namaste
