The national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and
the Democratic Party are jointly pleased to announce the end of the
political pandemics caused by two of the most virulent viruses of
recent years.
The melanovirus, aka MEVID-08, is characterized by an excess of dark
pigment in the skin. MEDVID-08 once ravaged the White House and
was diagnosed in 20 per cent of the major 2020 candidates for
the Democratic presidential nomination. It was
deemed under control on January 13, 2020, when the last infected
candidate dropped out of the race .
The chromovirus, aka CHVID-16, causes a Y chromosome deficiency in the
victim-candidate. There was a particularly severe outbreak of
CHVID-16 in 2016. Catastrophe was averted only through the
Byzantine wisdom of the Founding Fathers and the pig ignorance of some
63 million voters. Up to 50 per cent of the 2020 Democratic
candidates were diagnosed with CHVID-16, but crisis was averted when
the last infectee dropped out on March 05, 2020.
A third virus, judeovirus (JUVID-19), bears watching, but is currently
a mere speck on the horizon.
The Republican Party reports that it never has problems like that.
