Look the other way.....maybe it will go away?

I've noticed some interesting patterns on how we humans deal with the "effects" of the disease.

Some become overly parochial and strive to defend the "eating habits" of their kin - these people, are just taking the matter too personal. (And probably too uptight). Corona has been discovered as originating from (not the Mexican type ...) a bat, probably consumed in China, by a Chinese, and spread by this Chinese person to a close contact, likely another Chinese...and then to the rest fo the world. One person told me that if I went to Indian meat markets, I'd probably witness mutton being bashed to death, chickens being boiled alive, and perhaps bombay "duck" being baked alive so who am I to comment on Chinese eating habits. I'm pretty sure he's not been in an Indian meat market but had the  audacity to lecture me based on his self proclaimed righteousness. And he was an INDIAN mind you :)

Then there's the "ostrich" end where people have suddenly become the ultimate "know-it-all-sage" where they don't consider this plague, a plague. These lot will spew tonnes of data where other diseases are "more" deadly/dangerous, extoll the virtues of the Chinese govt's ability to hide, err, I mean "control" the epidemic etc. It's like they don't care OR that it's too remote. That's how the Black Death of the 14th century spread...our apathy.

Another group will espouse conspiracy theories and point to the US as being culprit based on some cockaninny official saying that the US Army or some other covert US agency "created" it. While this probability cannot be totally discounted, it does not help to solve the possible contagion in the offing. I personally think, if not organically "created" by nature itself, the virus is probably as a result of an accidental release by the Chinese govt's scientific/warfare labs in Wuhan. There is some literature on this "theory" too, just Google it.

And the WORST lot - the racists who "pray" for the virus to "kill" the Chinese and the religious bigots (usually the muffheads) who claim that this is a punishment from God onto the kaffirs, or something like that. I'm sure you have all read that some of these religious pundit have themselves been inflicted by the virus that they claimed was sent by their god(s) to kill the kaffirs. What a poetic retribution.

The voices of reason and caution tend to get drowned by the lot  above. Insanity seems to be spreading faster than the pandemic itself.

Be warned.
