Crazy World huh
"Our precious world that was perfect, is now hit with such a threat! The corona virus is coming for everyone, beware! I understand the need to buy sanitized items, but it is more important that you clear all the shelves of every grocery store of pasta and toilet paper. Soon, there will be a shortage of everything in this world, and everyone is going to stay home. There are reports that pasta will cure you if you have the corona and also heal you if you end up having it. More interestingly, there are supposed results that the corona causes constipation! Therefore it is quite essential everyone have stashes of toilet paper in their house so that you have enough wipes. This world is in a crisis that it has never encountered before and everyone is so proud to see action being taken care of. Things like climate change were just nonessential thing that people could care about if they wanted to, but it wasn't necessary, you could just watch it happen too. This corona virus has got everyone thinking whether human mass extinction is being pushed up a few years, oh man, no other cause that was affected the earth so harshly was gonna do that."
This is the onion article I was meaning to write as I kept reading about the corona virus all over the news. To some extent I think, does the media over exaggerate the emphasis on the COVID-19, just to make money and keep viewers glued to the screen, as far as numbers are concerned, never have I ever seen the media ever mention the fact that someone has been cured of the corona. The numbers are vastly different and there are thousands who have been cured from the COVID-19 compared to the people who have died in this pandemic. In fact, the influenza has a lot of people dying too but no one takes this much care of it, yes there are vaccines but no ones sanitizes them self or empties the shelves in stores when the flu season is coming around. I wrote this because of in class when we read the story about Marie Curie, she was so invested in the concept of Radium, that the radio activeness eventually led to her death. Similarly, the world is so obsessed with the concept of the Corona virus that people blindly are following the steps of others and mass buying items.
