I popped over to the pharmacy yesterday. Thermometer, cold meds, extra vitamins, Covid test kits, just in case. Masks were sold out and they only had off-brand test kits left. Where once was a plexiglass shield at the register was now open space. Awful, germy openness. The cashier coughed and I lunged backwards. Covid is surging again, they say. Those plexiglass shields won’t be going back up. I’ll be the lone masked shopper, once again. People talk about the pandemic like it’s a distant memory, but Covid is a toddler covering their ears, stomping about, determined to get their way.

A timely warning, though I rather think it'll be a relative of COVID and SARS that will eventually make its mark.

Timely. And for those of us who take it seriously, totally believable, relatable and I share your thoughts. BTW, awesome ending! Love the metaphor.

In one form or another, Covid's here to stay. Never hurts to take precautions.
