I smashed my finger. It got caught in a grate. Now the finger is blue and the nail has turned a perfect purple, half way between French Ultramarine Blue and Alizarin Crimson.
I am sure our esteemed English teacher will correct all my mistakes.
P.S. Still zero Corona cases in my county.
I asked a doctor why such a panic and excessive measures over Coronavirus, when the Hong Kong flu took a million lives, whereas Corona killed only a couple of hundred thousand. Well, he said it's because the Hong Kong flu killed one in a million, Corona, on the other hand, killed 2 in a hundred. What a bunch of baloney! So I crunched some numbers to prove him wrong.
The world population back then was 3,5 billion. Today it's 7,8 billion. Hong Kong flu deaths numbered 1 million, Corona deaths, as of today, 60 000. So the Hong Kong flu killed 1 in 3508 (rounded to the nearest whole number). Corona killed 1 in 130 769. That's a thirtysevenfold increase over the Hong Kong flu. Even if Corona's death toll reaches 1 000 000 souls, it will only be half as deadly as the Hong Kong flu.
I think the real reason is that we are being so mollycoddled today, that we need a doctor to kiss away a booboo on a pinkie. Because we want to live forever. The fact is, however, we are perishable goods with an expiry date we dread to such a degree we won't even acknownoledge it exists. Because we're sissies. Back in the time, people were tough. They didn't ask for meds for sniffles. They took ilness in stride. They braced themselves for what was coning and toughened it out without quarantines and regulations and limitations. Let's face it. None of us will live forever. So, what difference does a few years make?
