Long ago, Douglas Adams wrote about a planet that send a third of its population away in a gigantic ark.
The supposedly useless third of the population.
The other two-thirds died from a disease from a contaminated telephone.
Because the telephone sanitizers were sent away.
We have no public telephones anymore.
But during the beginning of the Coronavirus Pandemic, I went out to buy supplies.
And even with the handwashing and social distancing, I got to the register, and they handled all of my stuff.
Then I had to use a credit card reader.
I use a tissue with those.
