[This, too, is satire. Not true. I still feel no inclination to run for office.]
Well, the committee has met. And after failing to come to any agreement as to beverages or snacks, we all just sat around the table and looked at each other:
After several hours of silent communion we took another approach. Everyone was given a pad of paper and several markers. We each drew what we felt the virus looked like and drafted a short paragraph describing the origin of the virus. The winning image appears below. The scientific name of the virus is covinoperegrinus19. It is genetically similar to peregrine falcon, except much, much smaller and visually more distinctive. We are not yet prepared to advance a theory as to what our observations might mean for confronting the virus, but we are leaning toward designing a tiny, tiny Great Horned Owl, one of the peregrines few natural enemies. We will keep you posted.
