Are we there yet?

So, we're into our 8th month of defeating COVID-19. These words made me laugh but there's a lot of truth mixed in to consider. . .comic relief needed 

· So let me get this straight, there’s no cure for a virus that can be killed by sanitiser and hand soap?

· Is it too early to put up the Christmas tree yet? I have run out of things to do.

· When this virus thing is over with, I still want some of you to stay away from me.

· If these last months have taught us anything, it’s that stupidity travels faster than any virus on the planet, particularly among politicians and bureaucrats.

· Just wait a second – so what you're telling me is that my chance of surviving all this is directly linked to the common sense of others? You’re kidding, right?

· People are scared of getting fined or arrested for congregating in crowds, as if catching a deadly disease and dying a horrible death wasn’t enough of a deterrent.

· If you believe all this will end and we will get back to normal just because we reopen everything, raise your hand. Now slap yourself with it.

· Another Saturday night in the house and I just realised the trash goes out more than me.

· Whoever decided a liquor store is more essential than a hair salon is obviously a bald alcoholic.

· Remember when you were little and all your underwear had the days of the week on them. Those would be helpful right now.

· The spread of Covid-19 is based on two factors: 1. How dense the population is and 2. How dense the population is.

· Remember all those times when you wished the weekend would last forever? Well, wish granted. Happy now?

· It may take a village to raise a child, but I swear it’s going to take a whole vineyard to home school one.

· Did a big load of pajamas so I would have enough clean work clothes for this week.
