New twists in “fighting coronavirus” idiocy – Master of Marshall Islands flagged bulk carrier refused to commence offloading on Chittagong Anchorage, fearing local dockers will infect his crew. He demanded a floating crane to handle his ship, but there’s no floating crane available for cargo operations in Chittagong. Master, understood of Indian nationality, already complained to Indian authorities, to Flag State Administration, to some human rights watch organizations in London and of course, to Indian seamen union.
In Australia dockers refused to offload the ship with vitally important import goods, fearing virus (though probably, not so much dockers, as Australian Trade Union). Same stories reported by other countries throughout the world. Now crew decided to join the fun and refuse to allow port workers. Just one crew, as of now. But the whole coronavirus story demonstrates, how viral it is – not virus, but panic, fear and cowardice. The least dangerous thing in global panic pandemic is the virus itself, if we’re to listen to growing number of medics, scientists and experts, who raise their voices against paranoia and global lockdowns.
Here’s my message to all those who lost whatever personality, common sense and courage they had prior to “virus pandemic”. You – all of you – have nothing to fear from virus, you’ll fool it, by dying in dire misery, from hunger and thirst, from uncontrolled violence and crime, from lack of everything vitally important, be it electricity or medical/hygienic goods, long before virus will have a chance to hit you. Your very unpleasant death seems to be guaranteed by the extreme stupidity of your behaviour and response to this hyped threat. One month of lockdown/quarantine insanity, two months at most, and social and economical infrastructure will collapse, burying us all beneath its’ debris.
But you’ll die with happy smile on your lips – after all, in the long run, you cheated the damn virus, right? Idiots!
