Covid-19: Side benefit of incense offerings and smoke pujas

After more than a year, and 99%+ vaccinated for adults population, the so-called herd immunity that everyone was saying it is the "saviour" is still no where in sight. In fact, most people have abandoned it and seems like a fallacy. Now we realise that was never achievable with Covid-19 in the first place. Why? Because we have a coronavirus that keeps mutating and coming out with new variants. This virus is so different from other viruses that it is suspected to be man-made, i.e. in a lab. Seriously, the medical scientists MUST investigate the origins of this Covid-19. 

What I want to share here is how I keep my home... at least the air within my living space free from the coronavirus. Whatever virus that's trapped in any moisture floating in the air, will be hard to survive if there is smoke. So, I do find making incense offerings or smoke pujas very helping in "cleansing" the air. Besides being an offering to the Buddhas and Ariya Beings, it also cleanses the air of potential coronaviruses that may be floating around. But of course, do not overdo it until your house becomes a fire hazard. While I don't have any scientific evidence that the heat from the smoke will kill the viruses, it is the nature of fire to burn. Furthermore, some people may prefer this method than spraying alcohol or chemical based substances all over the house. When the alcohol or chemical substance touches on certain type of surface, it could erode or spoilt the element.
