The stay-at-home order is even getting to my local armadillo and obviously me too.
Fun picture. Do you remember the Lone Star beer ads way back. Showed a Lone Star semi truck stopped for a supposedly dead armadillo on the road, while another bunch of armadillos opened the trailer door to loot it.

Armadillo is the only animal other than humans to be infected with leprosy. This poor fellow is drowning his sorrow in alcohol to forget his infection.
OOOOPS: correction!!
"Armadillos are the main creatures that can transmit leprosy to human beings mostly, and they can do as such by assaulting with their claws. While extraordinary, infection has been accounted for in both cats and dogs."
