In early April, a tiger in the Bronx zoo was diagnosed with COVID-19. To pass the time, I am offering you some exercises in imagination.
--Assuming you have been charged with infecting the tiger, explain how you were close enough to cough into the tiger’s face, how you survived, and why you weren’t wearing your mask.
--Assuming you are a zookeeper, describe your feelings when your supervisor told you to put a swab up the tiger’s nose.
--Assuming you are the tiger, describe how you wear your mask without your glasses fogging up.
At last report, Nadia (the tiger) was recovering along with several other big cats who were also infected by a zookeeper who showed no symptoms. The cats are consulting with the firm of Python, Hyena, and Jackal about a possible lawsuit.
