Poking fun at the South ... and also poling a little fun at religion ...
When I had Covid I was off work for a month and all those Red state people were saying it must be something else.
My sister had Covid, but she never completely got over it as she has "long Covid". She can no longer work. Her symptoms reminds of an old apartment manager's wife who has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome". It makes me think that Corona Viruses have been around and causing problems before Covid-19.
