Corona Chemistry

With the masses wearing masks I think there is quite an extra benefit that no one to my knowledge has highlighted. Why, it is what I will call Corona Chemistry. With people breathing in their own carbon dioxide there is the great benefit to humanity's carbon footprint isn't there? My mind is settled and has been greatly relieved. After all I'm afraid I am still stuck on what seems now like a stale forgotten crisis. And yet the global fever must dwarf any fever we get individually from some minuscule virus? Probably there are many that have forgotten about global fever. I imagine this must dwarf all the latest crises that have claimed our attention. I must confess to be quite relieved with this new unexpected benefit from the new addition to the wardrobe of the mask. Its main benefit is the indirect and even unintended one to keep the planet's fever at safe levels. No need now to worry about the oceans rising, Antarctica melting, the polar ice caps dissolving into the warm waters of the Northern Atlantic---now that we are all recycling our own carbon dioxide. My anxiety is greatly relieved, relieved to the point that I may even try doing something that isn't essential. Perhaps I will try attending a church. After all I am quite thankful and feel the need to thank somebody beyond the governor. And perhaps I might with due diligence get up to speed with the latest crisis consuming our attention. But for now I'm keeping my eyes (albeit with less anxiety) on the earth's thermometer.
