The Moderna vaccine came and had to have freezer conditions to keep it safe. I think that is the one you are mentioning in your story here...why does it have to be cold. Well, it had to be freezer cold.

Loved the visual...the cat in the hat cozied up to a shot is perfect for a piece focused on an entirely different shot. You made some interesting points. I have to admit, I'd line up happily for the one shot (the vaccine), but would take a pass on the other (not a huge fan of tequila...unless it's in the form or a Margarita). Happy writing.

Thank you, Iza, for your humorous commentary on the new vaccinations for Covid-19. There's a lot of controversy surrounding the vaccines, their origins, their distribution, their safety, their effectiveness and more. I appreciate a little levity. I especially liked your phrase, "Now world politics is promising her some big snooze..."
Yes, we would like to put Coronella to bed, permanently. That's what I'm praying for: that God will wipe her from the face of the earth.
A few recommended revisions for you:
AstraZeneca,etc.

the cargo is gps-ed, aka tracked by Satellite.

the cargo is GPS'd, a.k.a. tracked by satellite.

I didn't realize that you were writing an entire volume of satire about our lives with Covid-19. Wow! "The Corona Saga." Good job.

You're very welcome, Iza. You have so many original ideas. Aw, don't worry about the grammar. That's what picky reviewers like me are for ;-)
God bless you, my friend.

Haha, I enjoyed your take on the 'shots.' Your picture is adorable, too. You did a good job expressing your thoughts about the vaccine. Thanks for sharing.

All those tracked vaccines want to record the reactions those who get it suffer. Folks are guinea pigs. If they are so good, why are health care givers refusing the shots?

Comment from Begin Again
Yes, I bet more would like to drink their way through Covid than the option of the vaccine. It's scary to wonder about our options; especially for the elderly, the ill, and those with allergies to medicines. This vaccine might be the "save all of save alls", but do we want to be the first to risk the rushed vaccine. Your satire makes us think. Smiles to you!

Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Spot-on snarky!
Yup, that was CORONELLA'S wishful thinking
Now [OMIT: the] world politics IS promising
arrived in the states and the cargo is gps-ed. (do you mean deliveries are directed by GPS?)
that measure WOULD make sense, because the gangs of gypsy MIGHT attack
Why DOES IT HAVE to be served cold
The other thing is that each dose IS tracked individually
they must have people trying to steal the "precious CARGO".
this vaccine IS not a guarantee

Comment from Precious Owuamalam
Lol. I laughed so hard at this. The imagery caused more explosion of laughter. The world's situation is just chaotic. In the end, we hope all hope the vaccines walk the talk. That's our utmost wishful thinking. God save us all.
