leftovers #2: proper corona admin, vol lxiii - i'll get corona (mosquitos)

Hi folks, last week I needed four thousand words, today just another hundred required to clarify this newest threat...

I'll get corona... from a mosquito.

This is one of those 'gotcha' threats, where my concern for a minor issue gives me temporary amnesia regarding the reality of Corona. The mosquito is a trickster of the highest order, a two-stepper that lured me onto the dance floor during a run at the end of May.

I was jogging along, masked up and all, when a mosquito flew into my eye. I instinctively applied the time-tested method of removing said mosquito, sticking all eight fingers and one thumb into my eye and rubbing around at semi-random for ten seconds until I figured the mosquito was done and dusted.

Let's hope the thumb I kept out of my eye was the only digit laced with the deadly virus.
