It’s Blog Post #60 and there’s not really anything else to do… unless you’re an ‘essential worker’. If you’re looking for information on the corona virus, just know that this blog has you covid.

2020 has been a crazy year and it’s only April. For this blog in this year, there was the amazing interview with the author of Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside in Post #57 and now I am excited to share my interview from last week with one of the corona viruses. So stay home and read this piece with one of the biggest headline makers of 2020… and also the corona virus.

Me: “Covid, Thank you for doing this despite your crazy busy schedule. I appreciate you finding time for me.”

Covid: “No problem and you can call me Cove or Covie. When I heard you wanted to interview me, I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. You’re the best blogger/ writer I’ve never heard of.”

Me: “Thank you. What got you started with all this travelling and fame? What made you want to do this?”

Covid: “I always enjoyed the idea of getting out there more. Bats aren’t all that exciting. They don’t really go very far. They hang out and then they go fly around and eat and then they’re back in the cave hanging out upside down again. I just wanted more for my life. I really got started by seeing viral ads on social media and YouTube saying anyone could dream bigger. I thought, ‘Hey, I’m anyone. I can do that.’ The rest is history all while history is being made.”

Me: “What do you say to people who say you’re just bringing sickness and destruction?”

Covid: “I think us viruses are misunderstood. We want the same things you want. We just want to survive and multiply. I mean look at all the people who are washing their hands and disinfecting. We lost so many of us in the process. My best friend, Cora almost went down a sink drain last week. There’s been so many of us sent there. It’s been tragic. Here’s a picture of my aunt Vi just before she was taken out by one swipe of a disinfectant wipe.”

Me: “Cove. There’s been a lot of deaths on both sides.”

Covid: “True… if we’re considered ‘alive’ at all. It’s not our intention. We need to procreate just like you. Did you know that without us viruses, there wouldn’t be life as we know it? Back when I was in college with my Viral Internationally Regional University Scholarship, I learned that we viruses have had a huge role in the evolution of mammals, especially humans.

Me: “That’s true. Many of the protein adaptations seen in humans has been driven by viruses.”

Covid: “I know, right?”

Me: “Your journey has been a big story this year, second only to Nursing: The Funny Side of the Bedside. Have you read the book?”

Covid: “Yes. I loved it. Nurses are amazing people and the book was an absolute joy to read. I laughed out loud and even cried at times. I have been learning a lot about nursing the last while but I rarely see their faces.”

Me: “What advice (or Words of Wisdom) would you give to people who are struggling with your overwhelming impact on the world?”

Covid: “Our current form won’t last. Vaccines are inevitable for us viruses. We will do as you do…Enjoy life until our time is done. We viruses know an end is coming. Humans are intelligent, resilient and adaptable beings that can not be defeated. They always rise. Also, stop with all the handwashing and go hang out with your friends again.”

Me: “Thanks for doing this.”

Covid: “No problem. I really enjoy this blog. Have you got any new jokes?”

Me: “Yeah here’s a bit to enjoy.”

Have you heard that Canada are looking at voting for different people to be on the new five dollar bill? The front runner so far is Terry Fox. I did a write-in vote for Meghan Markle, our own Canadian royalty. Let’s get this to go viral. Who’s with me?

This is an April Fool’s joke, right?
