still looking into it, suprised to see that Seth MacFarlane is covid conscious.

This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke:
