“I, Corona Speaking (The Sonnet)

Nature has been crying,
Yet you paid no heed.
Glaciers have been frying,
Yet you kept sleeping in greed.
Forests kept on burning,
Yet your eyes shed no tear.
Hurricanes kept on brewing,
Yet your luxuries didn't disappear.
Hence my arrival, not to punish you,
But only to give a wake up call.
I haven't come to lock you up,
But only to expose your downfall.
Now you know the horrors you committed,
I plea o wise ones live life illuminated.”
― Abhijit Naskar

“The coronavirus caused countless damages to the world, but it also created some benefits: The world is now a more mysterious, more enigmatic place with all those masked people!

“The most important thing you can do to avoid misjudging the importance of something is to avoid isolated figures. Never, ever, leave a figure alone. Never believe that a figure can be significant on its own. If you are presented with a figure, always ask At least one more. Something to compare it to. Be especially careful with large figures. Funny, but figures that exceed a certain size, if not compared to something, always seem large. And how can you not be important something big?”

“It may be tempting to binge-watch our way through these next months. But TV washes over you. Reading draws you in. Books that absorb us, books that calm us down, books that comfort us, books that remind us we are not alone but part of the grand sweep of history, books that surprise and enchant us â€� this is what we’re looking for.

“Lo más importante que puedes hacer para evitar juzgar erróneamente la importancia de algo es evitar las cifras aisladas. Nunca, jamás, dejes una cifra sola. Nunca creas que una cifra puede ser significativa por sí misma. Si te presentan una cifra, pide siempre, como mínimo, otra más. Algo con lo cual compararla. Sé especialmente cuidadoso con las grandes cifras. Es curioso, pero las cifras que superan un tamaño determinado, si no se comparan con algo, siempre parecen grandes. ¿Y cómo no va a ser importante algo grande?”

“En 1918, la gripe española mató a alrededor del 2,7 por ciento de la población mundial.[60] El riesgo de que se produzca un brote de gripe contra la que no dispongamos de vacuna sigue siendo una amenaza constante, cosa que deberíamos tomarnos extremadamente en serio.
Durante los primeros meses de 2009, miles de personas murieron como consecuencia de la gripe porcina. Durante dos semanas, fue un tema recurrente en los informativos. Sin embargo, a diferencia del ébola en 2014, el número de casos no se duplicaba, ni siquiera aumentaba de manera lineal. Algunos investigadores llegamos a la conclusión de que aquella gripe no era tan agresiva como habían indicado los primeros signos de alarma. No obstante, los periodistas siguieron avivando el miedo durante varias semanas.”

“In 1918, the Spanish flu killed about 2.7 percent of the world's population. [60] The risk of an outbreak of influenza against which we do not have a vaccine remains a threat constant, which we should take extremely seriously.
During the first months of 2009, thousands of people died from swine flu. For two weeks, it was a recurring topic on the news. However, unlike Ebola in 2014, the number of cases was not doubling, not even increasing in a linear fashion. Some researchers concluded that the flu was not as aggressive as the first warning signs had indicated. However, journalists continued to stoke fear for several weeks.”
