Covid 19 Quotes

“We may be comfortably living in our apartments or houses. We may not be getting affected by hunger during this time of despair. But there are so many people out there who may not have eaten a proper meal in the last few days. The turmoil caused by the COVID 19 pandemic is playing havoc in the lives of millions of people from all around the world. We are all in this together. We all can do our bit. Let's feed the hungry and help the less fortunate among us. Together we can make this world a better place.”

“Throughout 2020, before vaccines were available, 99.9 percent of people's natural immune systems protected their owners from severe illness and death. The CDC and World Health Organization, indeed all global health authorities, have recognized that healthy people, with healthy immune systems, bear minimal risk from COVID. Indeed, many people, according to our health authorities, have an immune response sufficient that they don't even know they have COVID. Maloy's pronouncement hat humans cannot fight off COVID-19 without a vaccine is misinformation in its purest form.”

“To-do list: 1. Science – stop people from getting sick and dying. 2. Keep people economically solvent – as you request their help in fighting the pandemic. Some states do better at one. Others, at the other. None strike the right balance. Everything collapses. Utter failure. One party is full of bad ideas that their rivals merely rubber-stamp. Like a reverse Robin Hood, they scapegoat the powerless, while simultaneously handing out checks to the richest stakeholders. The other party has few ideas, except for a few bad ones of their own that they throw into the mix. Businesses, flush with cash, appear almost embarrassed to take public money. But they soon get over their initial shame.”

“governments budgeted anywhere from one-tenth to more than one-half of their economies to fight the pandemic. No taxpayers were called upon to foot the bill, no creditors were asked to lend them money. Governments voted for the budgets they considered to be necessary and their central banks made the payments. The size of the response was all the evidence one needed to grasp the monetary reality. Governments which issue and control their own currencies face no financing constraints and no threat of insolvency or default.”

“There is now a real possibility that Trump will pardon Tiger King and then Tiger King will campaign for Trump. That could actually happen. That is Trump's America. If countries were TV shows, America would be Tiger King. BadChoices.us”

“Admittedly navigating the tough terrain of a lopsided Tory majority, Covid lockdowns, and a vaccine rollout that massively boosted support for the Tories, Starmer nevertheless cut a tetchy and shallow figure. His lauded 'forensic' approach to the parliamentary jousting of Prime Minister's Questions never materialised; instead and in spite of the government's mishandling of the pandemic that led Britain to the highest death toll in Europe, Starmer frequently found himself congratulating Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his party on their leadership. His erratic complaints and oppositional stances were inconsistent and largely seen as opportunistic.; he was quickly slapped with the nickname, 'Captain Hindsight'.”

“It did not take me long during the COVID-19 pandemic in Arizona to figure out that shopping in a plastic hazmat suit was really hot and sweaty! I got wise and figured out that a paint sprayer's fabric suit was more suitable to the hot weather of Arizona. I always wore shorts and a tee-shirt to stay cool within the protective suit.”

“Come credeva alla iettatura, era incrollabile nell’opinione che il colera fosse un malefizio, un espediente di governo inteso a sfollare le popolazioni, a incutere un salutare timore nei superstiti. Dinanzi allo zio duca, sapendolo dell’opinione contraria, più «progressista», cioè che la peste venisse per correnti atmosferiche, taceva prudentemente; ma con Fersa si sbottonava, derideva le quarantene e tutti gli altri amminnicoli fatti per darla a bere ai gonzi.”

“We must come to the table knowing that there is no barangay, city, province, government, or country that can solve the COVID-19 crisis alone. More than ever, human collectivism is key. We have prepared for wars even before they happened. Maybe this time, we ought to work together, collectively and purposively, regardless of race, ethnicity, political affiliation, and religion, in finding a solution to a threat that has shaken our very definition of civilization.”

“My first job out of college was at 211 W. Fort St. in downtown Detroit. The guy that hired me made about 150k a year and didn't really know, by his own admission, what was going on in his office (Room) during regular business hours. When I resigned, he was kind enough to send me a letter stating that I was in good standing while I was there. The letterhead (211) reminds me that as an alcoholic, I can go ahead and steal Steel Reserve High Gravity beer from Kroger, and they probably aren't going to be any more sophisticated than a Director at the United States Dep. of Labor. Thank God, they are not. That's what Success means to me. You can get your beer, and not worry about catching Covid19 from the Cashiers at these establishments. If you believe it, You can achieve it!!!”

“Un individuo humano puede elegir no consumir savia de palma, no comer carne de chimpancés, no montar las pocilgas a la sombra de los mangos, no limpiar la tráquea de los caballos con las manos desnudas, no tener sexo sin protección con prostitutas, no compartir aguja, no toser sin taparse la boca, no subirse con síntomas a un avión o no poner a las gallinas y a los patos en el mismo corral.”

“Para um indivíduo em 2020, todavia, o vislumbre de uma pandemia como essa era fundamentalmente de ordem estética, experienciado com o distanciamento seguro oferecido pela arte — que não deixou de povoar o imaginário das últimas décadas com toda sorte de desastres biológicos e epidêmicos, não raramente fabricando cenários de epidemias vampirescas. Certamente, nosso olhar para essas narrativas ganha complexidade no que atravessamos coletivamente o momento de crise. Uma questão, porém, inevitavelmente se assoma: do que nos fala essa — nada sutil — insistência?”

“Tanto na arte como no real, a negação parece funcionar como desesperada, ainda que ineficaz, estratégia de tentar dissimular força e estabilidade, postergando até o último momento possível, inevitável, o enfrentamento real e direto da ameaça. Muitas vezes, porém, nesse ponto, as ações de contenção já não são eficazes ou suficientes. Aos olhos dessas figuras, agências ou instituições governamentais que insistentemente negam ou relativizam as evidências empíricas e/ou científicas, sua admissão pública e transparente parece significar também uma aceitação de submissão à ameaça, um dobrar de joelhos metafórico que simultaneamente veicularia vulnerabilidade — não só à ameaça, como também aos olhos de todos os que de fora veem. Agem como se a negação contínua da realidade fosse, em si, força suficiente capaz de deter o curso de eventos que independem totalmente de seu poder ou vontade. Pergunto-vos: quando é?”

“Na era da (des)informação e da globalização, espalhando-se em progressão geométrica tal como o compartilhamento instantâneo das notícias falsas em um mundo intrinsecamente conectado, os próprios patógenos podem percorrer, em poucas horas, o globo; já não mais se deslocam lentamente, pegando carona com os passageiros de caravelas ou caravanas, meses a viajar por mares, rios ou estradas. As pandemias do século 21 — reais e ficcionais— são intrinsecamente subjugadas ao lado perverso da era da internet e dos aviões a jato.”

“A condição do vampirismo, pensada alegoricamente como doença infecciosa, seria de fato uma calamidade pública: tem alta infectividade, pois o contato direto com o vampiro é extremamente bem-sucedido em produzir novos vampiros, caso as vítimas venham a óbito; alta patogenicidade, pois sempre produz sintomas graves e sinais da doença, tais como os experienciados por Danny Glick; e alta virulência, sendo sua taxa de letalidade extremamente elevada.”
