In the ‘covid-times’, we are like Schrodinger’s cat – both alive and dead, what with the looming ‘cytokine storms’.   The Nobel Laureate Erwin Schrodinger devised the famous ‘thought experiment’ of putting a cat and some lethal things inside a box to see whether the cat would be alive or dead in order to prove a point in quantum physics.  Until one opens the box, the cat is supposed to be both alive and dead !  We don’t know what experiments the Brazilian President Bolsonaro conducted, but he aired that a COVID-19 vaccine could turn people into crocodiles; females into males; males into females.  And, we have a choice – choice to continue to be humans by denying vaccination. 

 

Vaccine experts are advising people ‘not’ to get pregnant within a few months of vaccination.  With the arrival of the vaccine, a lady asked: “Doctor, in case of an accidental pregnancy, are the chances more for a baby crocodile or a baby monkey ?”  This lady, who worked on a thesis of ‘origin of species’ is thinking more in favour of a monkey.  But our family members believe the living legend Bolsonaro in Brazil more than the dead Charles Darwin resting in Westminster Abbey in London.  So, we decided to rent a house near the lake of ‘Vellode Bird Sanctuary’ which is a few kilometres from us.  The rationale of this idea is that we can have an easy access to the lake when we eventually become crocodiles after the inevitable vaccination.  Moreover, it’s a better option to be a crocodile in a lake than to be a guinea pig in a ‘Covid ICU’.   It’s a double benefit --  escaping from the jaws of death and having the jaws to chew the exotic migratory birds visiting the sanctuary !  Thanks to the ‘anti-vaxxer’ celebrity Bolsonaro.

 

On a mildly lighter note, if there is a good side-effect of turning people into honest, selfless, caring and transparent ones, the vulnerable corrupt citizens  (notoriously high in number)  must be included as the first in the priority     groups in vaccination !  Voila !

 

Corona converted presidents into clowns

(As on March 26,2021, there were 3,00,000 deaths due to Covid  in Brazil which according to former president of Brazil Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were caused by “the virus-sceptical far-right” President Bolsonaro.  Lula termed it as “genocide.”)

The number of deaths related to Covid-19 has passed 500,000 in Brazil, the second-highest in the world, as experts say the outbreak could worsen amid slow vaccination and the start of winter.

The virus continues to spread as President Jair Bolsonaro refuses to back measures like social distancing.

The health institute Fiocruz says the situation is "critical". Only 11% of adults are fully vaccinated. 

Tens of thousands of Brazilians joined anti-government protests on Saturday.

President Bolsonaro has been heavily criticised for not implementing a co-ordinated national response and for his scepticism toward vaccines, lockdowns and mask-wearing requirements, which he has sought to loosen.

·       Covid - what's gone wrong in Brazil? 

·       Why are so many babies dying of Covid-19 in Brazil? 

·       What happened when a whole town got Covid jabs?

The country has reported, on average, 70,000 cases and 2,000 deaths daily in the past week. Most of the new infections and deaths were among people aged 20-59, Fiocruz said, warning that the start of winter in the southern hemisphere, next week, could result in more infections.
