A good play of the beer against the virus. It's sad how people focus on the people instead of the virus and continue to put blame instead of effort in solving a crisis. Enjoyed your contest entry and wish you the best of luck.

Thank you
Comment from jusylee72
Interesting short story, Corona and the comparison to beer is very good and strangely accurate for today's news. The last line seems to be true even though I don't want it to be because it is predjudice. Fix the word I am Paranoia, It is I am paronoid. Paranoia is with a group.

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
I imagine that it may cause some people to stereotype or categorize because it supposedly originated in China. It seems to have caused quite a panic. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

Comment from Sharon Haiste
I think this is a good entry for the 100 Word Flash Fiction contest.
This short story about a vacation and the hope to not have contracted the Corona virus is clear and well told.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

Comment from Gail Denham
Lots of paranoia around - and no wonder - with the news spewing out fear- only fear and no hope. We lose thousands to the flu every year in this country - but this seems a new type of fear?
Good story.

Yes you are right, now we blame a country and its people instead of the virus.
Comment from lance michaels
Cool flash fiction story! I believe I would be paranoid about the Corona Virus as well. The spreading of the virus has dominated the headlines recently and has made everyone a little paranoid. Good luck in the contest!

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
"No! I was in Cuba, not in Mexico!"
"I am talking about the Corona virus, dummy"
"Are you crazy? You should not joke about this! And no, no Corona...or I hope not."
"You hope not? Wow, that's a first."
"Yeah, I hope not. I went on this trip and there were some Chinese... I know I am (paranoia)
everybody runs from them."
You should use paranoid.
The topic is interesting.

Comment from Therese Caron
Very appropriate story for the way everyone is handling this virus. I understand the need for worry but not excessively so. People are being quarantined when they do not even have the virus, and are often quarantined with people who do have the .virus. We can certainly see the problem this creates. Very well written story, very timely, and a great image on the beach!Best of luck to you in the contest.
