This morning, The New York Times announced a “Late-Summer Covid Wave Brings Warning of More To Come.”

Yes, that was THIS MORNING’S headline.

The Covidians are like five-year-olds hanging on to their favorite stuffy. They know they’re too old for Sarsie the unicorn, she’s beaten up and filthy and the thread is hanging out and their friends are making fun of them for her. But they just can’t give her up, not with school coming.

Oh, how I missed Your Dept. Of Pandemia.
