And you thought virus could spread from person to person . . .
They call us “home”
our microbiome.
Our body spews
a cloud no one can see
Bacteria, viruses, fungi
intermingling you and me
Releasing microbes in the air
from head to toe where ever we go
Because they’re here to stay
Don’t waste your money
on bug spray
“Each of us carries around millions of microorganisms – including bacteria, fungi and viruses — on the inner and outer surfaces of our bodies. Most of them aren’t dangerous. In fact, growing evidence indicates that they help us in lots of ways. Scientists call this collection of organisms our microbiome.”
‘”A lot of the recent work on the human microbiome has revealed that we’re kind of spilling our microbial companions all over our houses and our offices and the people around us.”
“. . . the findings raise a number of possibilities, including, maybe, one day being able to identify a criminal by analyzing the microbial cloud he or she leaves behind at the scene.”
Don’t be an assk
Wear a mask

Shari,
This should NEVER be deleted – put it on a billboard. My highest compliment: I wish I had thought of it.

Awesome stuff! I have a friend in deep denial over the dangers represented by covid-19. I can never understand how thoughtful, intelligent people can deny what science has proven time and time again.Thanks for this very timely post.

Carol, It boggles my mind too. We have a neighbor who refuses to wear a mask because he “hasn’t caught a cold or the flu in 20 years”. Another neighbor who is REALLY educated and smart has “looked at the statistics and it’s so low it’s unlikely he’ll get Covid” . . . I hope they are right.

I hope so too. I would not wish it on anybody, regardless of politics or viewpoints.
