Eating semi-crisp cereal, you are engrossed reading what is standing on the table.
You can’t hold a book and eat. You don’t want to get milk on your Ipad.
So you read the back of the cereal box.
And maybe even a can of Lysol left by the cleaning lady.
As you munch away you stare at the list of the creatures that Lysol kills.
“Kills the following household germs in 10 minutes.”
Viruses:
Influenza A Virus (New Caledonia/20/99)†
Avian Influenza A Virus (H1N1)
Influenza B Virus (Strain B/Hon Kong/5/72)
Rhinovirus Type 39†
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
Rotavrius WA

Poliovirus Type 1

Listeria Monocytogenes
Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
Trichophyton Mentagrophytes (Athlete’s Foot Fungus)

Many germs that some people cannot even pronounce.
Then it tells where can Lysol be used:
Ambulances

Nursuries
Nursing Homes

Schools
If you told a person “I saw an Ambulance (or any other place on the list) that was put together by random parts flying in the wind”, they would surely look at you with a raised eyebrow.
Yet some people say all the germs above were formed by random molecules flying together in the wind. And other people say “really?”
Logical?
You decide.
