The world was left reeling in shock today as it was announced in the media and other completely trustworthy sources of information that there is another threat going on that should be thoroughly advertised in case nobody notices it is going on.
This is quite in addition to the other horrific threats already going on but is, if anything, even more threatening. People are advised to be as afraid as they possibly can and put their complete faith in their government, psychiatrists, media and celebrities to make everything all right, at least posthumously.
At this time of crisis the Health Secretary is advising everybody to take the following inactions:
- Avoid all activity that makes life worthwhile.
- Do not think for yourself as this will tire out your brain.
- Breathe in only when you have to.
- If you breathe out, catch your germs in a bucket, then dispose of them hygienically in a nuclear reactor.
- Rely only on newspapers and politicians for information as it is scientifically proven beyond reasonable thought that these are the wisest people who ever lived and they know everything and what they don't know - such as the truth - isn't worth knowing.
- Wrap a large bandage around your face until you have difficulty breathing (see pic above). This won't help much but it will bring you peace of mind by anulling your individulaity and signalling your submission to and support of the government no matter how stupid it is.
- Keep your children out of school so as to spare them the stress of learning and leave room in their small brains for lots of worrying about their health. Homeschool them instead on the full list of Reasons to be Fearful and Take Antidepressants (the full list can be found on the government website www.dread.gov).
- Remember the government's new motto that is designed to get us all through this threat and ready for the next one:
We're all in the shit together
Only you are more in the shit than most
The COVERT2 virus is especialy threatening as it has no symptoms and thus is very difficult to detect without elaborate tests that cost the NHS a hundred thousand pounds per test.
This is made even more problematic by the fact that the tests, whilst accurate, can give accurately false results, with false positives fifty percent of the time and false negatives fifty percent of the time, plus they also give a positive reading for dandruf even when it isn't present.
Thus someone can catch the virus from a carrier by, for example, accidentally licking a door handle or being in the same county and not even know they have it!
As the carriers of this deadly asymptomatic pestilence exhibit no symptoms either, it is impossible to know who has it and who doesn't have it, which is doubly worrying. All we do know is that carriers are at their most infectious when they are exhibiting no symptoms.
Scientists have been tasked by government to find the answers to this mystery so there is every hope that we will know much less in the near future.
Yet as things stand at the moment, the situation is quite serious because someone can be suffering for years with COVERT2 without any of the usual warning signs there is something wrong with them before they get better entirely, by which time it is too late! Some people, it is feared, can go for decades without every knowing they are ill.
The media has been mobilised to educate the public in to an understanding that even though they feel quite well they are in fact very ill and their best hope is to become subdued and malleable and to find peace of mind by resigning themselves to having no future except when generously granted permission to have one by their government
Scientists advising the government have advised scientifically that 140% of the entire population could already have been laid upright or rendered ambulant by the virus and not even realise they are suffering!
This has led the same scientists, working anonymously in secret laboratories buried deep under the Mountains of Doom (Shropshire) to conclude that the new disease is so asymptomatic that the only way to tell you are ill with the virus is that you are completely free of any symptoms!
Thus people who are not ill have been fooled into thinking they are well even while they are in fact alive which is, when you think about it, a close cousin to becoming dead.
If you find yourself exhibiting these worrying signs of having no symptoms, you are advised to panic immediately and find the nearest casualty ward where you can have hysterics as is your God-given right as a British Citizen.
Medical staff will be on hand to cure your lack of symptoms immediately.
It is now understood that the best antidote to this new threat is to put the NHS on hold, introduce stiff fines for anyone becoming ill and reinstate Communism.
