CHINA VIRUS ? NO, CORONAVIRUS!
Our Big Brother was supposed to protect us,
not find unique nicknames for what WHO has
confirmed to be Coronavirus and a pandemic.
It was day 1,000 and something of a quaran-
tine; our Big Brother decided to let the Coro-
na dogs loose, unleashing the unknown into
the wild. All around the streets, as I walked,
the fear of the unknown enveloped me and the
distant sound of coughing and sneezing fits
sent shivers down my spine.
Unaware of my surroundings, I bumped into a
stranger- a potential Corona dog, and sudden-
ly realised… I was ‘unmasked’ and
‘ungloved’; my gloves were tucked in some-
where in the bag I left at home.
A few days later, I tested positive to the virus
our older brother calls the ‘Chinese Virus’.
The Chinese are, unfortunately, blamed for
everything.
