      @Paul Borst I guess we'll just never know for sure. George was a very thoughtful man, yes, but at the same time was ruthless at making fun of everything. And because COVID-19 is a different beast than 9/11, I personally think he would have at least made a joke or two about it, maybe in the way he passingly mentioned 9/11 in 2002. Just a thought though.
