One wonders however how this might affect DNA. Could be how the Eloi evolved. Heard a radio program today saying that some people in Europe are dressing up as dogs. Can wolves be far behind?

The invention of modern fertilizer triggered the 20th century population explosion, and has freed up people's time to pursue their own personal interests.

Ratty, I saw what you did there. Drat! I was so looking forward to an argument ..... Let's see. What can we do here? The Latin root word here is "vac". - Meaning in English: Empty The Latin root “vac” appears in several highly-used English words, including what may be a collective favorite: “vacation.” Unlike certain terms that have a more literal tie to this root’s definition––e.g., “vacancy” means there are empty rooms in a space, “vacate” means emptying out a space, etc.–– “vacation” is more of a loose derivative of the root, alluding to an empty schedule.
How about vaccination? vaccination (n.) 1800, used by British physician Edward Jenner (1749-1823) for the technique he publicized of preventing smallpox by injecting people with the similar but much milder cowpox virus (variolae vaccinae), from vaccine (adj.) "pertaining to cows, from cows" (1798), from Latin vaccinus "from cows," from vacca "cow," a word of uncertain origin. A mild case of cowpox rendered one immune thereafter to smallpox. "The use of the term for diseases other than smallpox is due to Pasteur" [OED]. The earlier 18c. method of smallpox protection in England was by a kind of inoculation called variolation (fromvariola, the medical Latin word for "smallpox"). There are two forms of smallpox: a minor one that killed 2% or less of the people who got it, and a virulent form that had about a 30% mortality rate and typically left survivors with severe scarring and often blinded them. Those who got the minor form were noted to be immune thereafter to the worse. Doctors would deliberately infect healthy young patients with a local dose of the minor smallpox, usually resulting in a mild case of it at worst, to render them immune to the more deadly form. Jenner's method was safer, as it involved no smallpox exposure. Thus ...

Bruce lived in California and was a lifelong environmentalist.
He was sick of the world, Covid-19, Brexit, Russian belligerence, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media headlines.
Bruce drove his car into his garage and then sealed every doorway and window as best he could. He got back into his car and rolled down the windows, selected his favorite radio station, started the car .
Two days later, a worried neighbor peered through his garage window and saw him in the car. She notified the emergency services and they broke in, pulling Bruce from the car.
A little sip of water and, surprisingly, he was in perfect condition, but his Tesla had a dead battery.
This is to be expected from a California Democrat.
