Covid China & Panic Pandemic

Tweet

Been on a panic mode since January because of a novel coronavirus and guess what, the virus got a novel name - 'COVID-19,' certainly an appropriate adjective for the place of origin of the virus - China . which, despite its effort to manipulate the statistics to maintain an air of might, is actually decrepit. An admittance from the virologists and experts in infectious diseases that the nature of the COVID-19 is novel, thus difficult to predict a pandemic. But the surge in China's graph, a plus 15 thousand cases in a day, is worrisome. In other words, a reason to panic. Eerie though, that the people in authority are cautioning people not to allow panic become pandemic, so people would not panic buy masks that are made in China, because the Chinese cannot, at the moment, mass produce masks. Duh! Language is wonderful. In my youth, words and sentences were definitive. Now, people do not even know how to answer yes and no, like in the interview that follows. But oh well, the alliteration in the current terminologies are good for posts like this.
