My eyes are burning. I think I might have pink eye? I only think that because Ezra, literally, has a pink eye. I don’t *think* he has pink eye, but if the eye is pink, he could, right?
And now I’m wondering if pink eye is a precursor to Coronavirus. Like, future studies will find that “in 97% of the cases, patients who contracted coronavirus had pink eye 48-72 hours before exhibiting their first symptoms.”
