Hey Covid-19

Is the number 19 forever tarnished? Let’s take a look at some 19 related topics and see:

•  Product 19. America’s favorite cereal number (get it?). Kelloggs discontinued this product in 2016 so there’s no real Covid effect. Total was better.
• Hey 19 (song) by Steely Dan. Not one of their stronger efforts. I’ve not heard this on the radio in months. It is likely doomed. Rikki’s gonna lose that number.  
• The 19^th hole. Where you go to drink after shooting 18 holes. I think this stays. Having that little “th” after the number obscures it enough.
• The 19^th century. There’s those little letters again. Covid-19 is bad but I don’t think you can penalize a whole century for it.
• The 1919 Black Sox – Haven’t they already been punished enough? Say it ain’t so, Joe.
• The 19^th president, Rutherford B. Hayes – Meh.

This does not give you readers the right to topple any statues of President Hayes. Or Steely Dan.
