    I can’t verify how cherry picked the images are, but still...a good reminder.

        I am sure that they are pretty much correct. The third world Asia countries have terrible pollution. It was mentioned on the other forum board, the some people in India can see the Himalaya mountains for the first time in like 30 years!!

          Maybe this narrative will make a round: "Extreme man-made pollution has triggered the Earth's immune system and the Earth responded with SARS-CoV-2 to protect itself." Imagine a Hollywood blockbuster with Jeff Goldblum delivering a line along that line.

            "Mother Nature finds a way". It has occurred to me that these viruses might well be seen as antibodies for the planet's immune system.
