TULSA, OK- In a major update in the race for a vaccine for COVID-19, we have learned of a promising development from the scientific research community.
In what is being described as “groundbreaking”, just mere weeks after learning that the ‘C’ and ‘O’ stands for Cor and Ona, respectively, we are closing in on the meaning of the puzzling ‘V’ in COVID.
“It’s definitely something science-y” said lead researcher Dr. J. Cyrus, “And I watch a LOT of Wheel of Fortune, so I feel extra qualified to solve this mystery and hopefully save the world.”
Researchers are excited to overcome the hurdle of the mysterious ‘V’ so they can move on to the much more common ‘I’ and ‘D’.
“I mean, I think everybody here can guess what the ‘D’ stands for!” said research assistant Dr. Todd Quinlan with a few winks and high fives to fellow researchers.
Scientists believe that solving the puzzling acronym is the last major hurdle before smooth sailing to a vaccine.
“I mean… I know it doesn’t stand for vaccine, since, you know, we don’t have one yet” Dr. Cyrus continued, “All I know is that when I do figure it out, the news is sure to go viral.”
