In the Isaac Asimov “Robot Series” of his novels, there were two groups of humans, the Earthers and the Spacers.

The Spacers had been away from earth for several generations and they decided to return to Earth. They had to live in bubble dome covered villages because the had lost all immunity to Earth diseases, having lived in perfectly clean and germ free Space.

The same thing will happen to US if we keen developing ways to kill germs and viruses before our immune systems can get a workout.

Once we eliminate all germs and viruses, we are vulnerable to any new bug that may appear................

It’s probably carcinogenic.

“The same thing will happen to US if we keen developing ways to kill germs and viruses before our immune systems can get a workout.”

Back in the ‘80s it seemed like all the “antibacterial” products were everywhere. Soap, cleaners, almost every surface material, was “antibacterial”. It occurred to someone, probably a normal person, that maybe it wasn’t a good idea to kill all the bacteria.

Oh, lovely.

Hate to break it to them but nature will find a way.

And it’ll be even nastier.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness.

Ten years from now, kids will be peeling this paint off the walls and eating it.

And a whole new generation of drug-resistant bugs and viruses will be born! Nature Always Wins. Always. ;)

I could see this as an application for hospitals and ‘safe spaces’ for germaphobes, though.

“antibacterial” was, and still is, an advertising slogan.

All soaps and cleaners are “antibacterial” to some extent, some more than others................

Triclosan was banned because of resistance concerns.

That’s why your pits still stink even after applying so-called deodorant.

This isn’t about disease prevention.

It’s about the fact that infection control costs money and paint is cheaper than people.

Pain[t] appears to be enjoying a Renaissance.

Yesterday it was Fruit Loops, now this.

Must be the timing:

"Revolutionary Paint Destroys Dangerous Bacteria and Viruses"

The Torah... it's an art and a science:

Art [אמנות] + Science [מדע] = Torah [תורה]

(497 + 114 = 611)

People mocked Dan's vision, as if his ingenious paint-by-number masterpieces were the lowest form of art.

He got the last laugh. No joke...

In the 1960s, the first images of Mars were completed like a painting by numbers.

On April 1, 2019, Dan Robbins died in Sylvania, Ohio, at the age of 93.

Paint by Number

We had paint that killed bacteria and germs for many centuries.

It was LEAD paint..........Worked really great. Just don’t eat it. Only Democrats do that..........
