Colorless, Transparent, Spreading

The problem with the coronavirus is that it is colourless and transparent, and I suddenly realised this while riding the bus during the coronavirus disaster. I could notice its presence and avoid it if it had a colour or shape. Looking back, the problem in history was that it always existed colourless and transparent at the time. I tried to embroider colourless things, i.e., embroidering nothing.
