#CoronaChronicles #4 Of Choices & Choicelessness

So let me admit "choicelessness" is actually NOT a word approved by Oxford, Cambridge, Thesaurus & co! There's noiselessness  and voicelessness that comes up as close choices! And yet I stick to a grammatically incorrect word ... Because That's exactly what the world seems to be okay with, no? Incorrect actions of covering up a public health situation for months on end by one of the world's super power,  Incorrect actions of a supposedly apolitical organization (that the entire world looks up to), disseminating this propaganda,  downplaying the extent of the disease and possibly even delaying ordering a global health emergency situation, and Incorrect actions on the part of governments across the world - Incorrect Decisions , rather the Indecisiveness that has led to a disruption for billions of people's way of life, caused millions of people unemployment and tens of thousands of families death of and / or separation from their loved ones!

Mopping too or laundry only, today!? And with these WMD - Weapons of Mass Grime & Dust Destruction, you've never felt more powerful! P.S. Let's remember to uninstall the software post April 15 i.e. whenever Big Boss decides to allow the 'Real Bai' into our homes :D 2. Auto-upgrade of Yelling 3.0 is paired with Bai2.0 -
