Kit Yates, an associate professor of applied mathemetics at University of Bath, has estimated that the entire world population of Covid-19, could be fit in a coke can.
If you google coke can now you’ll get the BBC article going into the details of this as your first result….or maybe that’s just me; hard to keep track these days of the ebb and flow of online privacy and usage tracking.
Movie producers should take note. (Never mind if you’re on a Michael Bay set)
Too many big budget offerings feature five times that volume in weaponized fluorescent green or purple bio-hazard liquid concocted with the intent of infecting a major metropolis. That’s way too much virus. It’s really excessive and we’re now all the wiser.
If our global pandemic arose from some Covid-19 that escaped from a lab or the digestive tract of someone who just lunched on bat, then clearly the volume required to wreak villainous havoc need not exceed what you can fit in a Coke cap!
The symbolism is uncanny.
