CBS

The muse is the annual Sturgis motorbike rally in Sturgis, North Dakota. The rally officially didn’t happen in 2020 thanks to the grief of COVID-19, but a complete bunch of of us confirmed up anyway with predictable results: In step with the CDC, it became once a superspreader tournament.
However, despite the upward thrust in COVID cases thanks to the delta variant, the rally is going down in 2021. Will this tournament additionally cause COVID cases — and naturally, COVID deaths? That stays to be viewed but consultants shriek it’s possible.

That’s when the gag switches to repurposed photographs from “The Godfather,” imagining venerable Don Corleone as younger Brando’s body ravaged by COVID-19. And it turns out, Sonny Corleone wasn’t imagined to be shot, he became once imagined to acquire photographs… of the vaccine.
