An Immodest Proposal

Phillip one of my great friend on Facebook suggested that "washing our hands" was not enough and more stringent applications of social separation would be needed over the next eight wek to curtail the spread of the current epidemic.
Phillip suggested that we "close all the bars".
I suggest we alter that suggestion a little bit and "bar all the clothes"
The first ramification of this edict is that because of our natural Eden inflicted, original sin generated shame of our bodies....most people would avoid going out into public naked thus cutting down on the social interactions that lead to infection.
Second of all ,even though we ferociously wash our hands and fearfully cease touching our faces, we have to touch something so we touch our clothes. Rather than launder everything 10 minutes after we put anything on our bodies, we rermain in the same clothes that are becoming more infected every passing moment.
Of course one remedy is to wear our clothing into the shower that we take every twenty minutes and then stand in the stall until we dry off but since it will take more than twenty minutes for our clothes to dry we would still be in the shower when they were safe and we were forced to turn on the shower once again.
It's much more convenient to just remain naked even in the house if we are in the threatened age group of between 75 and 80. We don't have to worry about freaking out our horrified children because they have left the nest a long time ago and by this time, we should be familair enough with our bodies as to not be repulsed by them.
In honor of Swift, this is my immodest proposal in another insane attempt to save the world.
