THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT

Wilson's Two-Metre Distancing Device has been very well received and orders have been pouring in – I just hope he can keep up with demand! 
 
Encouraged by this success he has been giving some thought to how he can ease the pain of isolation and lockdown by means of Smart Technology.
 
The UK Government's much-lauded 'World Beating' Trace and Track App is weeks behind schedule and there are serious doubts about its effectiveness.
 
He therefore proposes the introduction of the Sniff-'n'-Trace App, an iPhone App which sniffs the air to detect the presence of the Covid-19 virus.
 
If it identifies Coronavirus germs, it will sound a very loud klaxon and announce, 'Covid-19 is present in this vicinity – move two metres away immediately!'
 
He has taken Nërp down into the Asteroid Shelter so he can discuss this proposal in private – 'Away from Government Spies' as he put it.
 
Wilson obviously has no idea how to write an App so has delegated this task to Nërp.
 
Nërp has no idea how to write an App either, but (possibly as a delaying tactic) has suggested changing the warning message.
 
The announcement will now say, 'Move two metres away or prepare to be exterminated!' – which actually seems like a pretty good idea, considering the public's general reluctance to comply with simple instructions.
 
Remember that it's the Bees turn to Blog tomorrow – they say they've got something which will really ease the pain of lockdown, and that Joe Wicks should forget about that 'Fitness Tzar' job. Maybe you should wear Lycra just in case…
