One quick short Coronavirus fable about an eccentric American singer in a hockey-mask named 'Jason Voorhees' who spreads thoughts of social harmony during the isolating quarantine experience in the suburbs of New Jersey! Thanks for reading,


====

Jason roamed around the suburban neighborhood of Voorhees (New Jersey), wearing a hockey-mask and singing to the community while people were under quarantine. 'Jason Voorhees' called himself the immigration substitute teacher, since he sang about the challenge of being an immigrant during Coronavirus quarantine even though he himself was a native-born American. Jason sang immigration songs about the quality of American life in times of great social tribulations and how immigrants contributed to the social sense of community adaptation.

'Jason Voorhees' became quite a popular hockey-mask wearing Coronavirus quarantine time evangelist and singer, offering his suburban community in New Jersey songs with cute modern symbolic titles like Up in the Air, Down with Gates, American Playground, and Becoming Multicultural. He was officially interviewed by the Courier Post newspaper and explained he chose to wear a symbolic hockey-mask during his suburban walking patrol and singing sessions so that citizens could feel like there were notes of real 'charm' during the otherwise 'masked' quarantine experience.

Jason became so popular that kids in the neighborhood would wait for him to come around on days in his signature hockey-mask, singing songs about immigration and traffic festivals, and peer out their windows to wave and cheer. He was sort of the bandmaster 'rendition' of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. However, 'Jason Voorhees' never liked touting the quarantine evangelical work as a form of hypnosis but rather an expression of modern American cheering. Was he a social pirate...or just a modern-day Peter Pan?
