“Shout out COVID” is insane! Is he accepting an award at the Oscars right now?

“First off, I want to thank God…and COVID. Without them I wouldn’t be here right now.”

Imagine just shouting out COVID for things. I get to work from home now. Shout out COVID! Checkout at grocery stores are quicker now with self checkout. Shout out COVID! You think if the Cowboys win on Sunday DeMarcus Lawrence is going to dedicate the win to COVID? I mean he has to now right?
