During a particularly good episode of The Office,
Michael Scott burned his foot, made a screaming SOS call to the
receptionist imploring the good people of Dunder-Mifflin for
assistance, wrapped his leg in bubble wrap, and took up
crutches.
Can you imagine what he would have done if he'd contracted
coronavirus? Or, even worse, if one of his employees came down with
it?
A little background for those unfamiliar with Mr. Scott: In the
episode "The Injury," Michael confesses that one of his
pleasures is waking to the smell of frying bacon (who can blame
him?). Michael was single at the time, so he had to devise a Rube
Goldberg-esque solution: He positioned his George Foreman grill at
the foot of his bed so that when he woke up, he could start the
grill, go back to sleep, and then enjoy the aroma of bacon waking
him again moments later. Genius, amirite? Well, not when the hot
grill chomped down on his foot.
