COVID-19 - Are We There Yet?

COVID-19
Are We There Yet?

You know how annoying it is when kids keep asking "Are we there yet?" on a trip.  Well, I feel the same way about people who want to lift COVID restrictions too soon.  Yes, I know we're all tired of this pandemic.  But we're not there yet.  Meanwhile, what can you do?

1. For now, keep social distancing.  Here, Laurence Barnes, known as FKK lad, is showing us how to dress for those Zoom conference calls.  I love how even his T-shirt isn't an inch longer than necessary.

2. Get vaccinated as soon as you're eligible.  You'll just feel a prick in the arm, not like the guy in this vintage drawing by Etienne, who is anticipating a prick in his butt.

3. Wear your face mask, even if you're tired of it.  This video shows Tim Schieff wearing his mask in London last July.  Unfortunately, the original soundtrack for Tim's video was an anti-mask diatribe, so I replaced it with a clip from a clever YouTube video "Wear a Mask" by Noah Lindquist, a parody on "Be Our Guest", which you can see here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltjBT_TuUVA

4. But don't be like Tim.  Wear your mask on your big head, not your little head.  Be like these dog walkers in San Francisco.

Are we there yet?  No, but if everyone does their part, we'll get there.

Masks, in addition to helmets and shoes, will probably be the uniform of the day for the Philly (Pennsylvania) Naked Bike Ride on 8/28/21. phillynakedbikeride.org/
