Nothing is forever as we all know.  All stamps, presidents, pandemics etc. will be confined to the dustbin of history.  A bit of mail art from 1972 - just fished out the dustbin for you all -

11.01.21 Dare Ms. Mail Art Martha, ...recent t.v. news here reveals that science  believes that the the u.s. of a has recently developed it's own Covid  variables. So..., perhaps  we are not all that far behind after all??? ( we do try upon occasion)------& in regards to Ms. Katerina N.'s (& previously noted by the astute Mister Jack Latteman) Chrysanthemum Covid twin "Forever'" crossed out illustration ..... I'm not a serious philatelist (unless it has some mail art attached) but the "Forever" business is a declaration( from a few years back & because of constantly rising postage rates) adopted by the U.S. postal system in an attempt to make clear that that particular stamp could be used as current postage  in the future. As far as I know, it only applies to "First Class" & "Global". I'm guessing but the crossed out "Forever" is the result of an illustration only of the stamp so as not to be confused & or reproduced by some charlatan (can you imagine?) & used as actual postage??? SinCelery, Richard Canard .........Post Scriptum: I always (am trying to keep up) enjoy  your commentary & that Jack Latteman  "WalMarth" business is terrific.

Cascasdia Artpost! you are not so exceptional 'cos you have not your own variety of the Covid, we Brits do, the Kent, where I live lucky me.

And it was the first mutation, somewhat obscured now by two others.

The Forever on my Covid stamp has not been crossed! That is strange, what does it mean? Do you know, Monsieur Canard?

14.01.21 Dare Ms. Katerina N., ...I see the term "Forever" has been marked thru---I hope that is correct postage after all. SinCelery , Richard C.

Why does the US Postal Service feature an international stamp resembling the Covid? To show the world why we're so exceptional, of course! ;-]

ha! it does look like the Covid virus,

but it really is a beautiful chrysanthemum flower.

Oddly it was put out by USPS for 2020 long before they "saw" the virus!

From Cascadia,  do not miss all the details, very amusingly topical.

And the reverse. I did try the dance pattern but I fell down.  Failed! just as the Coo-Day-Tah. Very clever Jack! but why does the USA mail service has a stamp with a covid picture on it?

This sticker sent by the Sticker Dude on an envelope requires a well developed sense of humour of the darkest kind. I find  it superb in a smirking sort of way.

Reminds me of Terry Pratchet's only too human Death.
