When some Trumpists-turned-QAnonists still stranded on the volcanic island of Mauritius—who needed to concoct a half-believe story to gain public attention so that they could fly back home—told the locals that they spotted a big
bird that resembled the flightless
dodo in the middle of the night, when the country was still on lockdown, thus raising the infinitesimal hope that the Mauritian
bird, thought extinct, is far from dead.
That “the
dodo is alive!” sounds like a modern version of the biblical story of Jesus’ raising Lazarus, who had already been in the tomb for four days, from the dead—even if the big
bird is
long dead, who says that it can’t miraculously be resurrected?
