I am the Novel Corona Virus – And This is My Story

When the whole world is busy battling the pandemic, called Covid-19, we are trying to serve you with as much information as possible related to the Virus named Novel Corona and how we all can save ourselves from falling its prey.

At this very point of time, when self-quarantine, country lock down, work from home is taking us over, it suddenly hits me (blame goes to the bottled-up creative juice), what if ‘I WERE CORONA’ (Bang On! Inspiration comes from “To Catch a Thief You Must Think Like a Thief”)? As bizarre as it may sound, but then……let’s find out!

The Rise of Corona Empire

I am ‘THE GREAT’ Novel Corona Virus, I am born with crowns on me already. Ohh yes! In the beginning, you laughed at me (Forgot those ‘Corona parties’), then you hated me, tried hard to ignore me (AND this ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, this is the biggest mistake you made and still some of you are making) BUT, you failed miserably!

I came into existence, in Wuhan, a city in the Hubei province of China, just 4 months back in December, 2019. Within this short period of time, I have spread my empire over 196 countries in the world, infecting around 5,37,331 people (as per today), killing more than 24,000 already. That’s an impressive number, isn’t it?

Starting from China to Italy, India, United Kingdom, France, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, some parts of United States had to bow down in front of me and now under complete lockdown (as they are calling it commonly), it’s damn one-third of the whole world’s population. By the way, so called superpowers seems to be on the list I see! Not to end here, if you human beings remain this way (Too kind to me to not go by the rules of complete lockdown I mean to say, the ONLY damn thing I HATE absolutely) and I have complete faith on you people (Please don’t break my heart by STAYING IN, STAYING AWAY) I will very soon become the biggest power the world and mankind have ever seen.

Greatest of My Achievements

I have already mentioned about the complete lockdown across so many countries, adding to list, starting from Prince Charles of United Kingdom to the commoners worldwide, from newborn baby to 85 years old, States Men (Prime Ministers sorts you know), Sports stars, singers, Film stars (You call them Heroes), Doctors, Scientists, young and old, rich and poor, every type, you name them, I have them in my list.

That was the most shining jewel of my crown but the list doesn’t end here, I have made the biggest of events get postponed, to start the list, I have Tokyo Olympic 2020, before you take it lightly, let me tell you, in the 124 years History of Olympic it has never been postponed and it took Two World Wars to get it cancelled thrice, what is your opinion now?

Cricket and basketball Premier Leagues, French Open and major Soccer leagues (e.g. FIFA Asian qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup), National Hockey League, Marathons, Golf Tournaments, Horse Racing events got postponed, NBA got cancelled, Racing, Rugby, baseball tournaments got cancelled, good number of matches were closed for spectators. I humbly take the credit. Wimbledon, I am eyeing to you too.

Hajj: The Great Islamic Pilgrimage got cancelled, temples, mosques, Churches and other religious places are closed now (Am I even more powerful than God?), let alone famous Opera shows, schools, colleges, universities, offices, factories, markets, tourist spots, what is not there in the list?

If you are still taking me lightly, check out these photographs, world-famous tourist spots, busiest of roads, crowded most trains: all deserted, all abandoned. That’s due to me, a microbe, NOVEL CORONA VIRUS.

Suppose, this is the thought process of the deadly virus and it is doing the exact same thing if were a human.

Here’s what I love and How I Do What I am Best At

1. I want to infect more & more people because, I want to live like every other living things. If I stop spreading, I will die or become a Dinosaur(obsolete)!
2. I love to travel. I want to explore the entire world. The more I travel the more I spread.
3. I love food. Restaurants and public cafes are my favorite. Hand to mouth, nose or any contact is easier for me to spread.
4. My favourite place is the human body and I love to hang out with my friends there until I get the way to enter nose and mouth so that I can get a way to go to my destination: human lung.
5. I use humans for transportation, especially those who go to public places like events, seminars, movie theaters, workshops, travel spots. I move from their hand to door handles, windows, and other surfaces and wait there so that I can find another unaware host.
6. I don’t like the open places at all, rather dense and closed places with humans are my place to wander.
7. I hate people sitting and sleeping at their home, they are really worthless!
8. I love smart people (few call them stupid), who knew that I am with them, but still they don’t inform anyone, and roam around so that I can get more innocent targets
9. I am a champion in hide & seek game. I can remain hidden for a period of 14 days and doing that, I get more and more opportunities to spread.

All these achievements make me the super-virus of this century. No existing weapons (Read medicine or vaccine) can prevent me exclusively. Alas! Poor human! Do you still have any doubts on my capability?

There are few things, which are going at the favor of you Humans, I am not liking it at all, but I have to ignore for now, I have more important things to do, that is getting the whole human race infected when I have already got them affected. What? Do you want to know about them? The world is coming together forgetting all the differences, oppositions supporting ruling parties, air quality becoming a lot better from the stage of being alarming, Ocean water quality becoming better and so one. I don’t want to say more.

No More “Being Corona Virus”!

If you think like a virus you will get to know what to do or what not to do.

Actually, we are helping this virus to succeed in their project by showing reluctance. We need to understand, this is not the time to show your courage! Doing that, we are proving ourselves nonsense, nothing else!

Government and media are doing their job by spreading awareness about this fatal virus. All the doctors, nurses, other medical staff, police and emergency service providers are fighting against the pandemic relentlessly. Now it is our job to behave sensibly, to stay home and listen and follow the guidelines to the T.

Stay home stay safe, maintain Social distancing rule, consume immunity boosting foods and  immunity boosting drink at home. Work from home (WFH) to help our doctors who are doing WFH too (Work for humanity) in an absolutely different way. Let’s take an oath to remain in self-quarantine and nip this pandemic in the bud (if we can call it bud at all)!
