A new study purports to show that the coronavirus can—and
does-- enter the human body through
the eyes. A team of researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of
Medicine discovered that ACE-2, a protein created by the eyes, acts as a “gateway”
to internal cells, making them a target for the virus.
This
means that gloves and facemasks are not enough. Look for government officials
at every level to immediately order their subjects (i.e. you and I) to start
wearing eye masks and blindfolds to protect themselves. The blindfolds will not
only help prevent us from contracting the coronavirus, they will further lessen
any residual human to human contact and prevent us from risking any
ambulatory motion. To our rulers they will have the additional benefit of
prohibiting us from seeing what they are doing, although, judging by current
events, they need no further obfuscation.
I would
no longer be surprised if a Democratic governor somewhere in the fruited plain
mandates the wearing of pink barbeque mitts and purple skorts at all times,
subject to fines and imprisonment. Just because he or she thinks he or she can.
Nor would I be surprised if the vast majority of us robotically replied, “Yes
sir/ma’am, pink barbeque mitts and purple skorts, we’ll do it. Should we report
others not in compliance?”
“My,
what big eyes you have, Big Brother!”
“The
better to see you with, my dear.”
“What
big ears you have!”
“The
better to hear you with.”
“What
big arms you have!”
“The
better to reach and shelter you with.”
“And
what a big dick you have!”
“The
better to bugger you with, ha, ha, ha! Trust me, you’ll like it. It’s
for your own good.”
