Jericho and his band, Fozzy, played two shows over the weekend in Sturgis, South Dakota, home of the world's biggest motorcycle rally, where wearing masks isn't mandatory, but should've been. Jericho (Chris Irvine) is due to fly back to Jacksonville, where Dynamite has been taped in recent weeks, today, to be tested for COVID-19, and a positive test wipes out, or, at the very least, delays a rematch between Jericho and Orange Cassidy. Over 250,000 bikers were expected in Sturgis. We'll soon see how many positive cases come out of the weekend.
===============================
As we noted over at Saturday Morning Archives last night, former wrestler James Harris, aka Kamala, the Ugandan Giant, passed away on Sunday. Turns out Harris, 70, had tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week, according to some sources. Harris had both legs amputated as the result of complications from diabetes some time back.

Coronavirus continues to wreak havoc with Major League Baseball.
The St. Louis Cardinals, expected to be playoff contenders this year, haven't played in over a week, after series vs. Detroit and the Cubs were postponed due to a number of players testing positive for the virus. A series this week vs. Pittsburgh has also been postponed.
Meanwhile, NL East leader Miami may be coming back down to earth after a hot start interrupted by the virus.
The Marlins saw their six game winning streak end Saturday night in a loss to the Mets, who also beat Miami on Sunday behind ace Jacob deGrom, 4-2. The only reason the Marlins are in first is by percentage points by virtue of playing fewer games than their division rivals. That will change in a hurry.
===================================
Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, who lasted less than 2 weeks in the position before leaving three years ago, went on Fox Shmooze Sunday night, and ripped into his former boss, President Trump, for his ignorance in regards to coronavirus having claimed over 160,000 American lives over the last six months, scapegoating when he should man up and accept responsibility, and warning that the Republicans, if they're not careful, could wind up the minority party down the road if they don't find their collective spine and rein in America's Oldest Baby, whose response was predictable:
"WAAAHHH! He's a fool! Don't listen to him! WAAAAHH!"
But can Scaramucci do the fandango?
===================================
You knew sooner or later someone would come along to run some sort of convoluted scam to justify their refusal to wear a mask to combat coronavirus.
However, Lenka Korona could spend the rest of the summer in prison if she isn't careful.
Korona is in charge of something called the Freedom to Breathe Agency, which is not a government agency, but a private Facebook group. She tried running a scam by an employee at a store in Orange County in California. She claims medical & religious reasons for not wearing a mask, but as far as ye scribe knows, that's about as legit as a $6 bill. Let's just say this week's Weasel is a coronavirus denier who is putting her health at risk needlessly promoting her fool's folly. The money she spent on creating business cards and badges for her fake agency should've been used to buy a supply of masks. The Department of Justice went after Korona two months ago, so they know she's out there.
Personally, I do hope she gets nailed for fraud and criminal misrepresentation, to send a message to the rest of the deniers, because, in the words of the late Michael Jackson, she's "playing with her life" and everyone else's.
