Corona is real and comes in waves over this world. Looking at this Corona heat map all western style nations and India are most effected while most 3rd world countries are little to not effected except those that suffer from the western societies Kokain addiction.
Western society and India with a stiff cast system still in place are excepting egoism and turned into an elbow society in which kokain consumption is less prosecuted than reefing, where turbo egoism is considered strength and sharing, being nice a weak spot. El Capone, today known as a Mob boss, was for me always a men that fought an U.S. American extrem right wing and religious weirdo complex in power attempting to turn down the land of the free, by selling whisky. An Anti-Hero that once stated "If you take my kindness for weakness, weak is not how you will remember me" and that apparently used a Baseball bat to clarify a major misunderstanding in a business agreement, just as a Cyberpunk would do in a dark future.
China and most parts of Africa, except South Africa which is still struggling in their post Apartheid time, have created societies way more social than the Western nations. China is the oldest still existing society dating back about 5000 years that always considered the community or society more important than the individual as we westerners would define it. Africa was formed by surpression from us Europeans and our kolonial efforts. Still today the borders of the African nations do in hardly anyway reflect the territories of the people living there and in my school books these people where called tribes, only. On the other hand they created societies that are way more based on social responsibility than our European suppressor societies and stripped french of some strange rules.
The most anti-social animal close to humans is the rat. When I saw that picture down there that later was officially declared a costume of a woman I rememebered stories of Egyptian rat hunters in Kairo that used firearms to take down rats big as little dogs and here in the valley I like to call hells kitchen the rats well have small cat size.
In the Shadowrun pen and paper runs I created the toxic shamans that had a rat as a totem were always the ultimate end enemy. Little Adolf Hitlers to be killed....
That would be their pet from a gene lab:
And yes, of course I also created Witcher like scenarios in which the team was attacked by mutated animals especially if they decided to check the waste water system in the sprawls underground to get to any place to make sure that ignoring the warning: "Dude, it is full of shit and piss so it will stink!" was the least of their problems.
I wonder if there is a connection between rat population and Corona outbreak in numbers, not in cause as back in the years of the Pest in the mid-ages, than totems might be way more real in a strange way and fighting Mexican Kartells might start with another five cats, that don't get daily tins...
...or a Pyhton for the "propa" Cyberpunk.
