Dr. Anthony Fauci
From wearing masks and social distancing to locking everyone down and destroying the economy, experts are all suggesting that we just try the same things we did last time that didn't work at all.
"We are going to lock down, wear masks, and social distance, all of which didn't work, but hey. It's worth trying again," said Dr. Anthony Fauci in a television interview this morning. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. That's what they taught us in science school. Look at my lab coat. It's white. Do you like it? It has pockets."
The television anchor then assured Dr. Fauci that his pockets were very nice.
"Thanks. I also have the heartbeat thingy. I like to breathe on it to warm it up. Makes me look official and doctory and whatnot."
At publishing time, experts had clarified that while we're going to be doing the same things that didn't work over and over again, we're going to be doing them harder this time.
I've noticed, on shopping trips over the last week, how people have returned to masks in full force. And most stores are considerably understaffed. They have a sign out front saying they're hiring and two cashiers inside for lines of people. I'm so glad I'm retired--just barely--but retired. I couldn't imagine being faced with the demand that I vaccinate or lose my job. I feel so sorry for the people I see working in these stores--overworked, and now our state has returned to employees in stores must wear masks.
