You also need to be careful when watching TV or listening to the radio. Keep a good distance. You don't want to get the virus through the TV or radio. Also if you are speaking to someone on a walkie-talkie keep your mouth a good distance so you don't get the virus through the walkie-talkie.

It may be safer if the cats posted pictures of humans.

Unfortunately their lack of opposable thumbs means they can’t efficiently operate a smartphone.
When will the genetic engineers focus on serious problems like this?

We're not supposed to use the internet.

That's why no one has been on WP since the virus began.

Sure you can use the net but you got to microwave all your electronic equipment for 45 seconds 2wice a day. Also be sure to turn your head away from your computer screen when you cough or sneeze & if someone else happens to be nearby that's their problem.

On the contrary, we are being encouraged to use the Internet at the moment to keep in contact with people we would otherwise go and see face to face. There is no restriction on using it for social contact, shopping or anything else.

You may find that things are slower because more people are using it for work and downloading and streaming TV and films, but it's certainly not illegal. You can't pass a human virus down the Internet.
