As my immune system continues its battle, I’ve been put in quarantine until the virus is proven to be a simple cold and not another variant of Covid19. Even my dictionary has been touched by this Pandemic, with some cartoons wearing mandatory PPE and masks.
While I cross my fingers to get out of isolation in time for Christmas, the ASL Word of the Day is Sick, presented by a sniffling patient in a medical gown. The bent middle fingers touch the middle of the temple and stomach twice. His outfit was a paler green in the original drawing, but my fellow students commented how it made him look sickly (even though that visual was the point). To lighten him up, I upgraded the gown to a brighter green, shown in the dictionary and the animation.
