When stories about the coronavirus made the news, I figured it wasn’t going to be that big of a deal. I thought it would be like the time the Ebola virus scared the crap out of everyone a few years ago. I remember everyone calling it, “Dat ‘bola” and joking around about it. Corona on the other hand… when I tell you I was wrong… *sighs*. Lord, I was wrong. Suddenly everyone was calling it “the ‘Rona”, and it was here in the U.S. spreading quickly.
