How brave. They say no travel here. No socializing. I cannot stand this virus. I hope the doctors and scientists find a cure so life can get back to normal. Stay well, Iza. What does that Corona beer taste like being you went on vacation?

The Corona beer tastes like a Heineken or Stella . The only difference is that is served with Lime which changes that initial taste.Thank you for reading and reviewing.

You do seem to be correct in your observations.
Plus, many people seem to be associating the Corona Beer with the Corona flu???
Best of luck with the '100 Word Flash Fiction' contest.

Thank you so much for your lovely and encouraging review.
Comment from JudyE
You're certainly right about the paranoia. I guess it will get worse before it gets better.
Just one point:
The vacation was sweet but short, I am still in recovery mood. - period after 'short'
Maybe this has been judged but if not, good luck. It's a very worthy entry.

Thank you so much for your lovely and encouraging review. Unfortunately it was judged and got zero votes:(

Oh dear! You're allowed to vote for your own work. My second-last entry only go one vote too - and that was mine!

I hit 'enter' before I had really finished. I guess I just wanted to say don't worry too much about the contests. Sometimes the results are hard to fathom. :)

You are right people are reacting silly to pandemic and usually focus on food or ... toilet paper. In Romania people took all the food available in the stores... is so sad. In Canada all the hand hand sanitizers are gone, and the masks are overpriced and you can find them only in specialized medical stores.

Comment from Gloria ....
Excellent flash fiction, Iza. That Corona beer looks quite appealing situation in the sand with a slice of lime.
Yes the scare is becoming quite overwhelming.
Great job with this and best of luck to you with the CC.

Oh dear... I thought of the sun's corona! Here's hoping people will soon be able to go on holiday without these doubts. Well and succinctly written. Holiday was fun.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Iza, this is a great little flash story and I liked the humour about the beer and the virus. It's sad, though that people take it out on the Chinese.
In your notes: everybody is paranoia = paranoid
Good luck in the contest. Ulla:)))

Comment from flylikeaneagle
Iza: great short story. I'm glad you are safe. Good awareness
of traveling and the corona virus. We must all be safe and careful.
The airports are packed. The lines are long through security. Now,
they have dogs to check for guns. Will they test us for this virus?
Keep safe and well, flylikeaneagle

Unfortunately they don't test you just ask you where have you been. I don't think this helps the case. They say that there is no way to know in advance if you are a carrier until is to late.. Thank you for your review and concern:) stay safe my friend
Comment from Susan Larson
You did an excellent job using dark humor with the corona beer and the disease and portraying how people have this knee jerk reaction to every thing the see on the news. Just change paranoia to paranoid and you have a winner.

Comment from Bichon
Good job at creating a realistic scene in a rather short format. It is very sad that people are behaving in this manner towards Asian people, I guess some people are just daft, haha.
Maybe change "paranoia" to paranoid, it would fit better.
