Another article on the BBC website advertising the people who caused this problem in the first place: aircraft carriers (the clue is in the title). How do you think this disease spread around the globe so quickly, in a matter of weeks? Because it walked? Because it was carried on the wind, or maybe the ocean waves carried it? No, because the carrier is man's wonderful flying machines that don't actually 'fly' but which 'carry (as carriers are apt to do) disease'. It seems appropriate then that the carrier the BBC are advertising has the word 'easy' in its name. The news article announces that this airline will enforce social distancing rules whilst on board by not letting people sit in the middle seats. As I read this, I'm thinking, who is writing this nonsense? And who proposed it in the first place? It's carriers like 'diseasy jet' and 'ruin air' that have cheapened our holidays to be sure. Our spirits have been diseased by being carried, by being removed from the local and our own body's cardiovascular powerhouse. Sure, it might be fun, to lie in the sun, to venture into paradise by sitting on a plane for a few hours, but it's not natural, it's not good for the planet or your own soul. We have constructed a world where we have made transport essential but it isn't. Transport is the most non-essential thing you could possibly imagine. To be carried is to be diseased. And to be diseased is to relinquish your humanity and your universal solidarity, and become a carrier.
