We don’t talk about COVID. No, no, no. I’m so tired of hearing about positivity rates and hospitalization rates and vaccination rates and… What’s that? You know where we can find home tests? What time does the shipment come in? And they put them right out on the shelves? Wow! Hang on, I need to […]
