Corona Tracking

Mar 8, 2020 — Comic #245

A Coastie briefs an officer with a hurricane-tracking map: “We’ve been tracking the movement of coronavirus worldwide. It made landfall on the East Coast last week, gaining strength as it crossed the Atlantic... we expect it to be downgraded from a pandemic to a tropical disease.” He asks, “You realize it’s not a hurricane, right?” She says, “Yessir. But this is the only tracking software we have.” Someone adds, “I think he means it’s technically a typhoon.”
