COVIDxcuse

COVID19 came in as a great inconvenience for all mankind, but for some it gave them a great opportunity – COVIDxcuse

When the pandemic hit, it came as a huge threat to the lives of most humans. Grand plans were shattered, work suspended, gatherings banned – in one word mayhem, worldwide.

Yet human ingenuity found a way to use even the pandemic to good use. The geniuses developed COVIDxcuse.

COVIDxcuse is the unique way of using the pandemic as an excuse for everything. Here are a few innovative examples for COVIDxcuse quotes in use now.

• Shirked Responsibilities/Duties: If it weren’t for COVID, I would have completed …. And submitted the … .
• Promises unfulfilled: It is not that I wasn’t going to do it. It is just that there was an area locked down by and I went close to it accidentally, thus had to put myself in quarantine. Better to be safe than sorry, huh?
• Social niceties forgotten: I didn’t say Good Morning or Hi to the next door neighbor because the mask I wore was too thin, didn’t want to pass anything on to him. The fact that I dislike him intensely has nothing to do with it.
• Bunking workout: Hey what do you expect? There could be others working out or jogging and they could be carrying the bug…who knows? Will get up at 10 o clock honey…Yawn…….
• Habit related illnesses: I fear that the vomiting may be related to the meeting I attended two months ago, where we had people of foreign origin. They are likely to have brought strange new strains of the bug…Omigosh! Anyway, it is definitely not because of the enormous amount I drank at the party yesterday night
• Basis Civil Behavior: I didn’t smile at her when we met because, I didn’t recognize her behind the mask. What do you want me to do, smile at strangers?!
• Defaulted payments- I couldn’t make the payments as I was unable to come over to your bank because of a COVID scare in the neighborhood. I wouldn’t have missed the payment schedule if it weren’t for that.
• Not keeping an appointment: Really I was part way through when someone sneezed about a mile away. I just didn’t want to bring the bug over to you as well, just in case. Sorry you had waited for two hour in the middle of nowhere, but I may have actually saved your life
• Plan Laziness: What is the point in working my back side off? The next wave of the pandemic may well kill us all and I may as well enjoy what little time mankind has left.
• Complete lack of updated information: Why would I read newspapers or watch television, when all they have to say is about COVID19 infection and those that died of it?
• Plain Indifference to every duty: Duties are for those who want to live long. If you may get killed tomorrow, what is the point in fulfilling my duties?

It is not only people who have COVIDxcues. Even the Government comes up with it, and in good doses

• Neglected civil work: We aren’t going to risk human lives by getting them to work together. The fact that the wear protective gear all the time and work at safe distances is still not a good risk. And all the allegation of the misappropriated funds is the imagination of the opposition.
• Police Brutality: The police were trying to maintain social distancing at the venue where the protests were held. They were not maintaining 6 feet and were maintaining only 5.5 feet and hence the lath charge.
• Failure of Medical Services: The Government Hospital has notified all pregnant women to hold their child birth by two week owing to the influx of COVID cases.

However one place where no one has a COVIDxcuse are the Burger and Fried Chicken outlets where COVID has spared all of the need to maintain social distancing or wear a mask and can indulge in good old fashioned gluttony.  I just don’t understand what the guy in the corner said ,’Maybe this was the time to reflect, to innovate, to create. Maybe we could have used this instead of give our excuses”. Just doesn’t make sense, does it?

They award winning COVIDxcuse of the year 2020 goes to …..”Did you know that the virus can survive on surfaces for 48 hours? I’m very sceptical about using my laptop for a day, just to be safe, you know? Would like to request a leave today.”

Viva il COVIDxcuse !!!!
