When my dear friend got sick with COVID in Oct 2020, I asked if I could pick anything up for her. In the midst of her hacking cough, shortness of breath, change in smell, and general feeling of illness, all she wanted was a bag of mini tootsie rolls. So, that is what I brought her (and I threw the bag to her from the sidewalk). We laugh about it now.
In honor of the some of the ridiculousness of the pandemic, here is a plastic mini tootsie roll for the COVID art piece.
