A satirical letter to the Governor of WV,


                Dear Sir.
                I am truly appreciative of the care and concern you have shown for the humble peasants of WV and especially those of us in the Eastern Panhandle. Were it not for your noble decrees surely we would all be stuck hiding in our homes clutching rolls of toilet paper  waiting for some unknown day when it might be safe to go back outside and reopen our businesses and resume our lives, instead of the clear specific guidance you have provided. In response to all you have done for us it is only fair that we in some small way return the favor and be concerned for your health as well.
                There is a side effect of the Corona Virus that Dr. Fouci in all his wisdom has not publicly warned about. A side effect that public officials seem highly susceptible to, it manifests itself in delusions, specifically delusions of grandeur.
                The primary manifestation of these delusions seems to be the mistaken belief that you are Yul Brenner in the 10 commandments. Symptoms may include but are not limited to the belief that a disaster declaration gives you complete and total power to dictate every aspect of the lives of every citizen of the State of West Virginia, and to determine by arbitrary means which of those citizens is essential.
                As symptoms worsen the afflicted may begin stating “So let it be written, So let it be done!” when signing executive orders. Acute symptoms may involve envisioning the WV burial mounds as pyramids built in one’s own honor, wearing Egyptian headgear and taking a “Pharaoh Name”  
                This is already happening in two of our neighboring states as Governors “Never Trump” Ramses in MD and “Blackface” Ramses in VA are hopelessly afflicted and their insanity is no longer in doubt.
                Please take care sir we our lost without you and your divine decrees.
To governor “Redneck” Ramses from a concerned citizen of the state of WV where Mountaineers are always free, unless there is a chance of catching a virus of some kind., John W Tabler
