Oh goodness. I hope they find a vaccine so they will keep the death rate low, instead sky high. Sorry to say, but there are some states that are higher than others. Must pray so this virus stops!

You got that right about the feel of a concentration camp. Thank god, they are going to let us roam the halls starting tomorrow. A start toward freedom. Appropriate metaphor of jail with security guard and gun,

Oh, this is rather dark. But I understand what you are saying. There is too much fear - especially of the unknown and the extreme contagiousness of the disease.
"Those batmen's are ok," (batmen) 'men' is already plural.

I have started to feel that these chapters have lost their feshness a bit, and then as I am drawn into the chapter I still find little gems of expression. Here it is:
-People are turning on each other
-Fear means control
-enjoy your fake supremacy

You are right I am kind of bored of this Corona thing, but I promised to post something from time to time.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written summary of the latest world events that keep us imprisoned for weeks on end and suddenly it is
safe enough to take part in protests that turn out violent riots.
Typo
scientists running their statics(statistics)

Hi Sandra thank you so much for correcting my typo:) and for reading
Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
IZA, you have a rather ironic viewpoint about this pandemic. The covid-19 is really very serious and takes lives left and right without scruples. The only way to stop your Coronella is by not giving her a chance. But I guess you know all that and just want to lighten our hearts with a bit of fun.
You did too! I liked it.
I found two little things:
1. ...statics are statistics
2. ...Those batmen are ok. You don't need the 's.

Thank you so much for the corrections and the continue support of this saga. Sometimes I am tired of it, but then here comes the boom:)
Comment from January L'Angelle
The story is funny but you do have some slight errors. I will note for you:
"She keeps us align and scared." This should be:
"She keeps us aligned and scared."
"My mind continues to lay inf front of me this macabre scenario..." This should be: "In front of me, my mind continues to play this macabre scenario..."
I can these crazy scientists running their statics without taking in account human lives." This should be:
"I can hear these crazy scientists running their statistics without taking into account human lives."
Hope that helps. I like the story! -January L.
