You nose it makes sense
Saturday 28th March – 2pm
I finished this morning's knob patrol and settled down to a cup of tea. Oh, I should explain. The knob patrol is my name for going around the house with disinfectant and cloths cleaning every blessed knob in the house. Or other place where hands may have lurked however briefly. (Supply your own jokes at this point, I am too knackered.) I am slated to do this twice a day.
Anyway, it was just as I was sipping the oolong that a thought occured relating to this virus thingy. Consider, for a moment, its ability to get about. It swims or floats in the air thinking: "I'd better get up someone's nose quickly or it's goodnight Vienna." It finds a nose, drifts in close, waits for an in-breath and then get sucked in. But the journey is not over. Once in, the virus, showing remarkable athleticism, makes its way past the cocaine build-up and swerves down into the lungs.
Surely science can invent a way of using the nose to repel boarders. Frequent applications of snuff perhaps creating a hostile environment rather than one the virus enjoys? Or AI. Why aren't they using AI (Artificial Intelligence) and NT (Nano Technology) to sit inside the nostril with miniature anti-aircraft guns and pop anything virus-like that hoves in sight? It's the answers to questions like this that leave us all baffled. What on earth is science doing frittering away its time in laboratories fiddling with test tubes, boiling green liquids in retorts and distilling stuff through Liebig condensors? What use is all that? Get on with the intra-nostril anti-aircraft guns, I say.
