If Only Coronaviruses Could Talk

By Eric Moorehead

I imagine myself visiting a lab. While there, I probed into the psyche – if there ever was one – of a coronavirus.

Speaking from the other side of the in vitro glass, I told it that your relatives infected three U.S. senators – one Republican, one Democrat, one Independent. 

Response? Either “Nonpartisan” or just silence – not sure.  

Eric Moorehead has been an administrator for the Institutional Review Board, Department of Research and Administration, since 2002. Like many others, he’s looking forward to a return to normal life in his adopted home state.
