How would the Ewings cope with Coronavirus?

[Sarah]

With the spread of Coronavirus, how would the Ewings cope if they had to self isolate??

JR couldn't get to the office, Bobby may be told to stay indoors and not tend to the Ranch (same for Ray and Clayton), Sue Ellen couldn't get to Valentines, Pam couldn't get to Barnes Wentworth and Miss Ellie couldn't tend her garden!

With no one being allowed to leave Southfork, what would happen??

 

[Snarky Oracle!]

They'd all tap into Sue Ellen's private reserve of Grey Goose. Inoculating them from the inside out.

 

[Sarah]

Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

They could finally get into the attic @Snarky's Ghost !!!!

Well obviously it would be revealed that the Ewings, well JR had caused the coronavirus outbreak by bringing infected people into the country. Possibly by human trafficking. Them there oil wells don't pump themselves.

Biting tongue.....biting...hard....

 

[Taylor Bennett Jr.]

the poor virus wouldn’t stand a chance:

er, I guess I mean anyone infected with the virus!

 

[Sarah]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO killing of animals! The Ewings aren't allowed outside remember!!! :eck:

Ray, hand me the shotgun from the hall closet - JR's coughing again!

Jock would say the hysteria over the virus was pathetic and he was going to come and go as he damn well pleased. JR would agree with Jock, but he would exploit the situation. Miss Ellie and Pam would fuss and fret over Jock and Christopher, respectively. Sue Ellen would let John Ross go to the movies, feel guilty, and "drink herself into oblivion." Bobby would take a balanced approach and try and reassure Pam. Ray would do what he always did. Donna would write a bestselling book about media exploitation of the virus and Ray would feel insecure. Cliff buy stock in hand sanitizer, but would be eating Chinese food, pausing mid mouthful during a news report on the virus. Katherine would forge a letter from Pam to Bobby where Pam admits she secretly thinks Bobby has the virus but isn't telling anyone. Lucy would pursue a doctor working on finding a cure only to learn he was a polyamorous pansexual with a crush on Miss Ellie. Afton would say, "Wait. Aren't doctors saying most people who get this will have mild to no symptoms?" and everyone would ignore her. A mysterious figure would enter the Ewing offices late one night and cough on all the doorknobs and phones.

I'm adding a scene: Cliff, who has bought millions of dollars of stock in hand sanitizes(JR hoodwinked him into it), would pause with forkful of Chinese takeout as Afton tells him, "Cliff, honey, hand sanitizer os anti-bacterial. Coronavirus is a Virus. Doesn't work, sugar-lamb." Ken Kerchaval would make one of his priceless Cliff faces and then start eating General Tso's Chicken furiously.

 

[Sarah]

Afton isn't invited to my Southfork lockdown unfortunately.

Sue Ellen would be a disaster seeing how she always puts her fingers near everybody’s mouth when she kisses them.

 

[Laurie Marr]

Harlan Danvers would have impunity and be able to make maximum use of his happy shots. The Ewings would self isolate as a kind of zombie commune and could feverishly dream up the next 8 seasons.

 

[Rove]

Not sure how the Ewing family would cope with "Self Isolation" and "Social Distancing" but I know who would have caused such wickedness on the Ewing family...

[Sarah]

Sue Ellen would be a disaster seeing how she always puts her fingers near everybody’s mouth when she kisses them.

So? Isn't the kissing more of a danger at this time?

 

[Chris2]

The Ewings were always trying to prevent outsiders from infiltrating Southfork. They would have been uniquely qualified to handle conoravirus isolation.

I suspect that they'd self medicate with bourban & branch. Sue Ellen with vodka! Miss Ellie with wine.

They'd shove the telly on & Miss Ellie would watch episodes of her favourite TV show, Doctor Who.

"Oh look JR" Miss Ellie would say as Jon Pertwee changes into Tom Baker. "I did that once back in 1984!!"

"You did it again a year later" JR would remind her. "Just after Bobby died!"

"Oh yeah JR!" Miss Ellie says. "I'd forgotten about that! What a sec, Bobby isn't dead!?!"

JR takes a deep breath & a large gulp of bourban from his glass! "I know that! You want any more wine Momma!?! I'm gonna have a double bourban!! We'll beat this corona virus or Steve Forrest isn't Jock Ewing!"

At that moment Steve Forrest as Jock walks into the living room!

Miss Ellie picks up the DVD of the Doctor Who story Planet of the Spiders. "Whose DVD is this?" Miss Ellie asks.

Jock takes the DVD off her. "It's mine Miss Ellie! Always has been!"

 

[Luke_Krebbs_Ewing]

They'd just stay at Southfork & argue between themselves.

That's what most families do. Incidentally, stay safe everyone.

Ok so I’m terrified of needles and had a dream last night that I was getting the Coronavirus vaccine. Except the needle was this size that Katherine has and I told the nurse to go away and leave me alone!!!

Well, as long as she didn't say "Sleep on little sister, sleep on!"

I think you'll be fine.
