Corona Hits Wildlife Population

BONNER COUNTY, ID - The not-so-novel and not-so-heinous Corona virus has now expanded to the local wildlife population, according to governmental health experts. A deer was recently tragically hit and killed while playing Frogger on Highway 95 in the Careywood area. The driver who struck the hapless animal reported that it appeared to be coughing at the time of impact. 

The State Patrol was the first to respond, but the officer did not feel secure enough with his PPE to conduct a thorough investigation. The officer then summoned state and federal wildlife officials, and the state’s highway clean-up crew.  After closing traffic in both directions on Highway 95 for over two hours and consuming four dozen donuts, all agreed that their face masks and rubber gloves were not up to the challenge and that state, federal and global health officials should lead the investigative effort.

Phone calls were made to WHO, CDC, State Health Services, PHD, and Bonner General. All health officials agreed that the cause of death was Corona, and set about arguing which agency should receive the 35% Corona bonus payment for making the correct diagnosis. Road crews erected signage, and traffic was restored after a slight six hour delay.
