You probably have seen the clip of Wisconsin state legislator, Treig Pronschinske, make his inane argument regarding the inability to stop the spread of Covid-19. In this now viral recording of the January 12th public hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Pronschinske stated that you cannot “physically see” the virus. Hence, once cannot know if the virus is present. Ergo, one cannot stop the spread of the virus. His exact words were,
“If you can’t see the virus, if you can’t see anything. How are you going to do it? How can you stop it? How?
You physically cannot see the virus, you don’t know if it is in this room or if it’s outside. Or if it even exists right now in here.
You have no clue. How are you going to stop that?”
Obviously, we can see Covid-19. If you haven’t seen it yet, here you go. In the article, Forster compares it to a bluish pepperoni pizza. I tend to agree… moldy pepperoni. So, the virus is visible and while most of us will never see it in a lab, high resolution pictures and videos are only a few clicks away.
