Off topic but it's killing me: what is the pun there? I just don't see it.

COVID-19

Edit: To clarify one could argue Boeing's problems are due to COVID-19 infections not due to a MD infection.

Am I crazy? I still don't see any word play. Is there a homonym, or specific phonetic reading I'm missing? Tried:

- Infect-being

- In fact being

- Etc.

Thanks for the help.

Covid infected humans. McDonnell 'infected' Boeing.

It's not a pun. Just a joke. Lots of people just say pun to refer to any wordplay. Wait till you find out "meme" is now starting to mean "joke" too.
