Corona Virus with a Lime

I long for the time when we can look back at COVID-19 with a lighter spirit. Perhaps water it down with a splash of “dad humor.”

For example:

• Nothing is more relaxing than lying on the couch after a long day of being stressed on the couch.

• Since being quarantined, all my jokes are inside jokes.

• I could tell you a funny COVID joke, but it might take a few weeks to see if you got it.

No disrespect to those who suffered from that terrible strain or lost a loved one, but we must march forward. 

Early into the pandemic I received a call from the president of a large restoration company that will remain unnamed. (Rhymes with “Curve Slow”). He requested a meeting to pick my brain about disinfecting/decontamination. 

It isn’t difficult to spot one of their green trucks circling like vultures after a major flood. Unfortunately, they are a necessary evil.

Anyway, we met Saturday morning whereby I explained the basics of disinfecting and helped prepare a disinfecting protocol. (Very generous of me!). 

As for the “Curve Slow” guy; I would describe him as extremely self-important. Though I respect his accomplishments, he called me to help him. Not vice-versa. He could have been a tad more appreciative. 

Before departing, I inquired on his pricing structure. “Between $1.00 and $1.25 a square foot,” he confessed. My jaw dropped. COVID-19 is a humanitarian crisis. Unlike a hurricane where some are affected, everyone is affected by this pandemic. “You should rethink your strategy and reduce your price by 90%. Businesses are going to suffer and you can’t hit them while they are down,” I pleaded. By his blank expression I could tell it fell on deaf ears.

The “disinfecting” business has exploded within the past 12 months. I have received calls from many disinfectant start-ups inquiring about my practice, solution, and fee. The meeting with “Curve Pro” and conversations with several opportunists with a spray bottle and rag inspired me to write my book, “Your Home is Making Your Sick,” How to Create a Healthy Home. www.edkampfbook.com
