Tongue-in-Cheek! Art, Science & Commerce Prevail, And The People, Reduced To Punching Bags, That Is Covid !

Even after little above two years of the pandemic outbreak in the world, the challenges from the virus remains one of the insurmountable puzzles for the world.

This also has set a trend of who first! Which means the country that can free its people from the Covid-19 restrictions and indulge in self-back patting.

A very interesting yet amusing rat-race without knowing what is the bottom reality!

When first the US declared to go mask free, it took little time for a backlash and many students suffered from the infection.

Then the UK did the same and was compelled to rollback the decisions and take the gears back. Today, yet again the UK has declared the same to repeal all guidelines sort of.

Experts are far less assuring about the exact nature of the Covid-19 and its longevity, let alone a final cure. Many doctors have opinions which are more confusing than the existing mix-up in views.

But, in nutshell, one thing is certain that, till date there is no medicine for the Coronavirus. That is the truth and a perplexing one. It is all a trial and error process that our science has drove the multitude of the world into.

Hospital bills come in lakhs even though there is no specific medicine. What can this be best described is, an art.

Other tragic outcome for the people, although boon for a few, is, millions died but the hospitals survived as never before. Grew in strength and money double.

So it’s a battle among the art, science and commerce. None of them know, who won!

According to the nonspecific section of guessers, there is a coordinated design shared by the pharmaceuticals and corporate hospitals; and the people are merely the punching bags.
