The coronavirus pandemic, is not a war; it’s a zombie apocalypse
Posted by John T. Reed on
Calling this pandemic a WAR is wrong. In what kind of war is the person most likely to kill you your spouse, your child, your parent, your grandchild or your grandparent?
.
This is more like a zombie apocalypse. You need to stay physically away from EVERYONE. You can get “close” to them by electronic media, maybe through the closed windows of your car.
.
And you need to sanitize objects and surfaces that may have been touched by an infected person. Maybe the best thing is to stay away from possibly infected surfaces or objects completely, i.e., stay home. And disinfecting your hands by washing after you touch anything is easier than disinfecting the world.
.
What about gloves? What good are they? If you touch anything while wearing gloves, the gloves become a carrier. If your gloves have the virus and you touch your face with you glove, you may die as a result. Can you take them off? How do you do that without touching them with at least one bare hand? If you wear gloves, you must wash the outside of them before you take them off. So what exactly is the point of gloves? Washing your hands is the key. Gloves sort of just give you a second pair of hands to wash.
.
This is a bit like being an electrician, one strike and you’re dead from electrocution.
.
The standard you must meet in this ”war” is PERFECTION. NEVER get within range of another human. NEVER touch an undisinfected object another human may have touched. Like the booby traps soldiers must avoid touching when they come upon an area previously occupied by the enemy, surfaces and objects may be deadly.
.
Surely you do not have to be PERFECT. No, you do. That is actually the MINIMUM standard. You DO have to be perfect.
.
So this is NOT like a war. It is like nothing mankind has ever encountered. The 1918 pandemic resembled this but neither science nor the public understood what they were dealing with then. We understand better now, but because no bell goes off the moment one is infected, the actual transmission is still a mystery.
.
This is more like a horror movie where you cannot tell if even your closest relative is the monster. If you get covid 19, it is extremely likely that the transmitter WAS your closest relative.
.
THAT is what we need to get our brains around.
