People ought to post videos of themselves bubbling in public

What better way to prove we're ready to beat a crisis than to post photos or videos of yourself bubbling in public?

Bubbling is our term for blowing bubbles with bubble gum. This activity is not only hilarious, but harmless. There may be no better way to fight a serious crisis than with harmless humor.

What people should do is chomp a huge pile of bubble gum, go to a park or other public outdoor place, blow some biggies, and make a photo or video that they post on sites like YouTube and Facebook.

It's not as if public bubbling has become any less common in recent weeks. After all, I did see a person bubble right in the middle of downtown Cincinnati just last week.

If that doesn't make sense, it's because it's not supposed to! Does it make sense that our government leaders at every level have failed so miserably at fighting a crisis that could have been largely stamped out by now? If they try arresting people for bubbling, I'd like to see what statute covers that. If authorities are so eager to mimic Singapore's law against bubble gum, they should also mimic Singapore's success against the pandemic - instead of providing excuse after excuse about why we can't test people.
