Covid CASES are just a media catch phrase, an anonymous statistic which have the same marketing value as FRESH in Daily Bread.
Fresh employs a sense of safe, even pure, but look at the list of ingredients in a sliced pan! Now there is a Pandemic for you, explained in a metaphor.
ps. Brennan's Irish Bread has 12 ingredients.
French bread has 4. Yeast Salt Flour and Water.
So, what are the other 8 ingredients in Brennans Pandemic?
I say unto you, take no heed of Fresh Cases of Covid or Irish Bread.
