A fantastic story about a virus from which you can only be saved by getting on all fours.

In an uncertain future ...

One winter, somewhere at the same time of year when in the past people celebrated the New Year and Christmas (now few people remembered this tradition), some new, hitherto unknown infection began to spread around the world.

An unknown virus, penetrating the human body, then caused attacks of hiccups, then uncontrolled diarrhea ... Symptoms were different for different people, depending on age, lifestyle, and immunity.

Scientists immediately found out that the virus is capable of killing a person and destroying all of humanity.
The cunning virus was often disguised as other diseases, but doctors have learned to identify it among others.

The new strain was spreading across the planet at a frantic pace. Despite the fact that the pandemic situation was announced after the second detected case, and the world quarantine was introduced after the third, alas, alas, this did not help to contain the assertive virus. After just three years, he was able to penetrate into the most remote corners of the planet. And so...

The best minds of mankind, including the most popular bloggers, all twenty winners of the Miss Universe beauty pageant over the past twenty years, venture capitalists and the stars of the world basketball league, were thinking what to do, how to save humanity.

Artificial intelligence was also involved in solving the problem. It was he who helped find the answer.

Artificial intelligence took all the available information, took into account the opinion of the best minds of mankind, then thought and gave the answer: "walking on all fours."

Artificial intelligence has calculated everything very accurately, there can be no doubt. The insidious virus is designed in such a way that it is able to multiply and spread only in the atmosphere at a height of more than one meter from the earth's surface. When the cells of the virus found themselves at a height below one meter, they immediately found themselves in the power of gravity and fell to the ground, losing all their strength along the way.

In general, in order to stop the spread of the virus, artificial intelligence told people to walk on all fours for some time, not for long - ten years.

Well, it is necessary, then it is necessary.

In those days in question, it was not customary to argue with artificial intelligence, you know. Artificial intelligence - all-seeing, all-knowing, infallible and omnipresent cannot be wrong.

"And what's the big deal? Horses walk on four legs? And cats, dogs, and other animals ... Walk on four legs, walk and do not complain, but on the contrary are satisfied."
Yes, let's be honest, because it's even more comfortable on all fours.
Well, let it be unusual at first, but after a month ... and you yourself do not want to return to your old way of life.
It was high time for a man to adopt the manner of walking on four legs from animals, just before there was no reason, but now there is.
Sooner or later, as a result of evolution, people would get on all fours anyway, but now we have a unique chance to accelerate the course of evolution! We can evolve not in millions of years, like our ancestors, but in just a week! And stop the virus in one thing.
And who refuses to walk on all fours is simply an egoist and a scoundrel and a potential murderer. "

This is how the new rule was explained to people.
However, there was no need to convince people for a long time.
The responsible and conscientious majority reacted with understanding to the new requirement.

Of course, there were also marginals, renegades, who, spitting on the new norms of public morality, were still trying to get up from their knees.

But with them everything was resolved quickly.

A few electric shocks were enough to restrain those who tried to put their strange desire to walk upright, their imaginary "rights" above the Good of the Society.
