  1. Dear Ms Amanpour and Mr Krugman, Thank you Ms Amanpour for your excellent reporting and equally great team in delivering to your country and the world very interesting and timely analyses of current events. Thank you Mr Krugman for explaining the complexities of economics, the economy and all of its parts in language everyone can understand. As an independent observer from the other side of the world, my perspective is from another angle from yours, but what it looks like from where I am across the world from you. I won’t be long; but I have an idea on how to get your economy on its feet. Can I just give my thoughts on how to win on the Coronovirus pandemic in your country and around the world? Great. I'll be brief. I am an inventor. Here is my assessment of how to control the Covid-19 virus and all viruses that this way come. Up until now we have gone after the virus passively. We wear masks, gloves, face shields, eye protection, in other words we wait for it to get to us first. Next, we’re trying to come up with a vaccine which will hopefully protect us. What I believe we need to do now is to use reverse strategy and go after the Coronovirus actively where it lives: in the air. We can do this with air scrubbers, air processors i.e. air cleaners adjusted to bake or freeze or incapacitate the virus in its molecular form and take it immediately out of the air we breathe. We could do this in every place where people congregate; every classroom could have one working 24/7 for example. Still not convinced? Think of it as Dyson air conveyors i.e. portable devices that filter out or kill the virus with ultra-violet light or something that renders it inoffensive. The plain simple truth of the matter is that it’s infecting us by travelling through the air. We can’t be serious in using only masks to strike at an invisible foe. My logic goes this way: let's go to it instead of letting it come to us! Why not attack it in the air before it infects us? We can do this by scrubbing the air with portable air conveyors that take in the air, disinfect it, filter it, and send it back out, virus free, into the classroom, or train, or pub, or office etc. This is my idea. I don’t have the means to make a prototype, but from what I see, the virus is floating in the air, and if we can filter it out of the air in places where people congregate, it may very well lower the amount of people getting infecting. Let’s go after it in its territory, instead of sitting passively by, trying to block it from infecting us, because we can see it's a losing battle. Please Christine and Paul, could you give us your impression of this approach towards eliminating the virus? Can someone you know please make a prototype? The technology has been around since submarines scrubbing CO2 out of the air underwater. My gut feeling tells me this is one way we can save people at risk and be prepared for the next wave(s) of Coronovirus. Be safe-
