class because he has been SHOT, has COVID-19, and is going through a divorce goes viral.

(Daily Mail) A professor's alleged email claiming he had to cancel class because he got shot, has COVID-19, and is going through a 'messy' divorce has gone viral — and people have a lot of questions. Twitter user @decentbirthday shared a screenshot of the wild message that was purportedly sent by an English teacher named Patrick Wilson last Monday, writing: 'Just received this rollercoaster of an email from one of my professors.'

Hello All
Unfortunately, I have to reschedule the exam, and I will have to cancel class on Thursday. Against my best wishes, I have been shot and being treated in the ER,' 'I also have Covid, and the divorce is getting messy. Office hours are still 11-12 on Mon/Wed, with your TA. If I am alive, the exam will be moved to Monday of next week. Keep reviewing the texts, and remember to look over your IDs!'
Best,
Prof Wilson

The post has received more than 133,000 retweets and 817,000 likes. Shortly after the message went viral, the professor allegedly sent a follow-up reassuring his students that he will be fine — while revealing his wife had cheated on him.

Hello All
It seems that my last email went viral on the internet,' the second email reads. 'I appreciate all the replies letting me know. Fortunately, the injury wasn't serious, and none of my Covid symptoms are serious.
'The exam is still Monday, and it is asynchronous. Unlike my wife, I expect you not to cheat. Good luck to all!'
Best,
Prof Wilson

(His students' reactions are hysterical)

2. Me too, he just cracked me up!

And his students were funny too - my favorite response was the one that said: Is this a poem about 2020?
