Crane's Corner: 8-18-21 Covid 2.0

Crane's Corner

His name was Don La Fontaine, a professional announcer who made millions cornering the Movie Trailer market some years back. Had he lived, he’d probably be scaring us with this promo:

“Just when you thought it was safe to unmask..to raise a glass on a flight to Cleveland...comes the return of CO VID. It’s no match for bleach, or Trump and probably not Newsom---but now it’s back..and coming soon to a hospital near you..Should you get a booster shot from Pfizer--or throw down 2 or 3 from Jose Cuervo??’

After shutting down much of the world in 2020---despite a vaccine delivered at warp speed----CO VID 19 and it’s viral kinfolk is making a big comeback..shutdowns are back...Dr. Fauci’s Co Vid wisdom is about as reliable as his pitching arm. Joe Biden’s doing his best Wizard of Oz impersonation and Kamala Harris is wishing she was in Kansas or California..anywhere but Texas or DC. Now to be fair I know about as much about globe trotting viruses as fat bar flies who lost a wad on the Raiders on Sunday grasp the nuances of an NFL Defense on Monday morning.

To those who took the shot---yes I did..if Bill Gates did manage to sneak in a tracking chip in that needle I didn’t even feel, well I’ll forgive him for the Windows phone and the Vista Operating system.

The conspiracy theories espoused by people who prefer a Reynolds Wrap baseball hat to reality would be hilarious if the virus wasn’t so damaging. Yes, it's killing people who would rather roll the dice with a nasty pathogen made in China rather than a fairly effective deterrent made in a lab or labs along the East Coast or the U-K.

Don’t look now but the masks are back in a growing number of cities and counties. Things are looking so desperate for Gavin of Newsom, he’s picking his own pocket--ordering the always reliably corrupt and shameful teachers union---to get with the program..bringing a mask along with the revisionist history they dole out to your kids.

I’m more angry with Joe Biden’s billion dollar infrastructure heist than somebody ordering me to wear a mask. It’s no big deal really---and as far as I know neither Batman, Zorro, The Lone Ranger or well known NHL Goalies caught Co Vid--let alone died of it.
