Kids across the country are concerned that Chris Kringle, or Santa might not show up this year due to COVID-19.
Dr. Anthony Fauci was on the case. “I took care of that for you, because I was worried that you’d all be upset,” Dr. Anthony Fauci said. “So what I did a little while ago: I took a trip up there to the North Pole, I went there and I vaccinated Santa Claus myself.”
“I measured his level of immunity, and he is good to go,” Fauci added. “He can come down the chimney, he can leave the presents, he can leave, and you have nothing to worry about.”
If you want to visit Santa at a local mall, that is not a good idea. To practice social distancing, there are virtual options and drive by options should you want to visit Santa.
My concern is weather every Santa in America will be moved to the front of the line to get a COVID-19 vaccine. Are Santa’s considered essential workers as Christmas approaches? There are rumors that the wealthy are hoping to jump to the front of the line by offering bribes. Tens of thousands of dollars are being offered to get a needle jab. Healthcare workers and nursing home residents, are first in line then essential workers and those with chronic health conditions, then, finally, everyone else. Since Santa is 1750 years old he is likely a nursing home resident and at the front of the line regardless.
A new mutation of the COVID-19 virus in England is more contagious and caused Prime Minister Boris Johnson to say, “It is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you we cannot proceed with Christmas as planned.” “There’s no evidence to suggest it is more lethal or causes more severe illness,” the prime minister stressed, or that vaccines will be less effective against it. Families will not be permitted to go to other households to celebrate this holiday season.
In America, as cases, hospitalizations, and deaths continue to increase, the safest way to celebrate the winter holidays is to celebrate at home with people who live with you. Gatherings with family and friends who do not live with you can increase the chances of getting or spreading COVID-19.
