Some of the restaurants are open here; did yours open up? Many have carry outs and again curb side parking. It seems that we must keep the dining open so these restauants stay open.

A very engaging satirical look at the pandemic. I took my first flight this year to Seattle and we had to set one(?)seat apart with masks on. so far, so good. Don and vicki.

Yes, we all need to use everything we have to kick Coronella. I enjoyed your chapter, Iza. You did a good job with info and details about how the virus spread and mutated. It is a scary situation.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

You have been doing a bang up job on this Caronna virus thing, Iza. Or as you call her Carolla virus. LOL I think everyone is about fed up with all of the problems she is causing in terms of lives lost as well as property etc.
Thanks for keeping us up to date though on the humorous side of it. Bless you dear friend. Bob

You speak of the seemingly never ending frustrations of dealing with epidemic now in its second year. All the mutations that elude vaccination and spread like wild fire, the frustrations of the open closed open closed pendulum that keeps swinging through the economy, claiming all the small businesses that can't survive while the big mega companies switch to online. estory

There's a joke going around Texas.
Covid: I couldn't get Texas to shut down.
Mother Nature: Hold my beer.

Yes, Mother Nature shut down Texas. It's 3 degrees here, in Texas. Unheard of. Thank you for sharing.

The same happened with the gyms and school. (schools)

I think you're doing very well with this satire, Iza. You're really making an entire book out of it, and who knows, by the time you're finished, "Coronella" may be finished too, and you'll have a volume of history that could be a best seller! People could thumb through the pages and say to themselves, "Yeah, I remember that!"

Of course, first we have to live through it - by the grace of God.

Suggestions for revisions:

Citronella officially planted roots on four continents.
-->
Coronella officially planted roots on four continents.

For example, we started with one stream ...
-->
For example, we started with one strain ...

Toronto hit the jackpot, he got all the streams at once,
-->
Toronto hit the jackpot, he got all the strains at once,

***

You've made some important points and observations in this installment of your series, which come through despite the satirical tone!

Snide, snarky, spot-on!

I was hoping that these three new arrivals WOULD step on each OTHER'S feet and just DISAPPEAR, but their mommy gave them strict instructions: "Take what you can [COMMA] never lose a chance!"

So scary! Toronto has all three of the new strains of the Coronavirus??? Please take extra precaution. I hope you will get the vaccine, soon.

and well shut forever. (will)
Well, we can complain (can't ?) if something new happens everyday, it's not a boring life.
Evils stared in Asia in China, (started ?)
