Forget about rolling out the barrel! Roll out the carpet, roll out the carpet of fear! Even the prim and proper BBC.com is talking about how the Australia Army was deployed in Sydney, as if there was room for doubt! Sure, it is scary, but remember this is the new Black Death we are dealing with here, and drastic diseases require drastic measures, don’t they? Hopefully not too many of the soldiers will get infected, in case World War III breaks out, to disturb the Covid freak-out. When war comes, it will be time for the grand old songs, one last time before nuclear annihilation. Here is Vera Lynn, in memory of you mum! I hope that I make it to the place where you are now. Suddenly I feel quite melancholic.
