Joker was right after all?

“Their morals, their code; it’s a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They’re only as good as the world allows them to be. You’ll see- I’ll show you. When the chips are down these, uh, civilized people? They’ll eat each other. See I’m not a monster, I’m just ahead of the curve.”

China never lost a chance to bully India at the UN on multiple issues while blocking all actions to question its incompetency at UNSC in containing COVID which led to a global pandemic thanks to the generous support from the wildlife meat industry lobby in Wuhan.

USA and its all weather allies are at each other’s throats over N95 masks.

MLA’s and their VIP cartel are bullying medical fraternity for masks while doctors continue to work in compromised scenarios.

With UK NHS considered to be the beacon of hope for socialist healthcare system, bullying is rampant as evident from the nurse quitting over a trivial issue.

For all the aggressive posturing by leaders and religious heads that one race or religion is superior over the others, COVID spared no one as it saw all humans as the same from Wuhan to South East Asia, from Iran to Europe.

So much for Us vs Them discrimination.

Science departments at all countries are facing major funding crunches while religion and sports continue to enjoy perks in taxes and obscene pay scales only to realise that massive gathering in the name of either are banned in this crisis and both are of no avail.

Will we change our values at least in light of all this evidence?
