De ce-s cu toții așa de grosolani?Și sînt grosolani,subliniat grosolani ,chiar în clipele cînd nu au voie să fie grosolani,când omul,după beție,are toți nervii revărsați,când e descurajat și blând!De ce așa?O,dacă întreaga lume,dacă fiecare din lumea asta ar fi nesigur de sine și s-ar îndoi de temeinicia locului său sub soare- ce bine ar fi!N-ar mai exista nici entuziaști,nici fapte eroice,nici obsesii!Toți ar fi descurajați.Aș accepta să trăiesc pe pământ și o veșnicie,dacă mai înainte mi s-ar arăta un ungher unde nu întodeauna este loc pentru fapte eroice.
Venedikt Erofeev (Moscow to the End of the Line)
The King case ended some 13 years later with a settlement between King, the NPA, the South African Reserve Bank, King’s trustees and SARS. The settlement included plea and sentence agreements before the High Court, a fine of R3.28 million or 984 months’ (82 years’) imprisonment, and the payment of R8.75 million into the Criminal Assets Recovery Account. SARS recovered R706.70 million in outstanding taxes.19
Johann van Loggerenberg (Rogue: The Inside Story of SARS's Elite Crime-busting Unit)
By the time that paper appeared, the SARS epidemic of 2003 had been stopped, with the final toll at 8,098 people infected, of whom 774 died. The last case was detected and isolated in Taiwan on June 15. Hong Kong had been declared “SARS-free.” Singapore and Canada had been declared “SARS-free.” The whole world was supposedly “SARS-free.” What those declarations meant, more precisely, was that no SARS infections were currently raging in humans. But the virus hadn’t been eradicated. This was a zoonosis, and no disease scientist could doubt that its causal agent still lurked within one or more reservoir hosts—the palm civet, the raccoon dog, or whatever—in Guangdong and maybe elsewhere too. People celebrated the end of the outbreak, but those best informed celebrated most guardedly. SARS-CoV wasn’t gone, it was only hiding. It could return. In late December, it did. Like an aftershock to a quake, a new case broke in Guangdong. Soon afterward, three more. One patient was a waitress who had been exposed to a civet. On January 5, 2004, the day the first case was confirmed, Guangdong authorities reversed policy again, ordering the death and disposal of every masked palm civet held at a farm or a market in the province. Wild civets were another question, left unanswered.
David Quammen (Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic)
This outbreak is the result of several forces coming together. The enemy is not just the virus itself. We ourselves are also our own worst enemies in this fight. Or at the very least, we are accomplices to the crime. I'm told that there are a lot of people who are now suddenly waking up to just how meaningless it is to go around every day shouting empty slogans about how awesome our country is. They know that those cadres who go around giving speeches on political education, but who never take concrete action are utterly useless. We refer to them as people who live off the labor of their mouths. And they certainly know that a society that lacks common sense and fails to pursue the facts as they present themselves, not only ends up harming people through words, but can actually result in the loss of human lives. Many, many human lives. This is a lesson that resonates deeply. And also comes with a heavy weight. Even though we have all lived through the SARS epidemic of 2003, it seems we have all quickly forgotten the lessons we supposedly learned then. Now fast forward to 2020. Will we forget again? The devil is always on our heels and if we aren't careful, he will catch up to us again and torture us until we finally wake up. The real question is, do we even want to wake up?
Fang Fang (Wuhan Diary: Dispatches from a Quarantined City)
and these he concluded had probably been made by Jane Clayton's abductors. It had only been to minimize the chance of error by the process of elimination that he had carefully reconnoitered every other avenue leading from A-lur toward the southeast where lay Mo-sar's city of Tu-lur, and now he followed the trail to the shores of Jad-ben-lul where the party had embarked upon the quiet waters in their sturdy canoes. He found many other craft of the same description moored along the shore and one of these he commandeered for the purpose of pursuit. It was daylight when he passed through the lake which lies next below Jad-ben-lul and paddling strongly passed within sight of the very tree in which his lost mate lay sleeping. Had the gentle wind that caressed the bosom of the lake been blowing from a southerly direction the giant ape-man and Jane Clayton would have been reunited then, but an unkind fate had willed otherwise and the opportunity passed with the passing of his canoe which presently his powerful strokes carried out of sight into the stream at the lower end of the lake. Following the winding river which bore a considerable distance to the north before doubling back to empty into the Jad-in-lul, the ape-man missed a portage that would have saved him hours of paddling. It was at the upper end of this portage where Mo-sar and his warriors had debarked that the chief discovered the absence of his captive

Sar-ah,’ he called. ‘Sar-ah,’ spacing the syllables with an unbearable falsity.
Graham Greene (The End of the Affair)
The first SARS outbreak had ended because those infected had been isolated quickly and prevented from infecting others. Those capable of infecting others were easy to identify because they were so obviously ill. There were few, if any, asymptomatic spreaders. The virus had not vanished, however. “It’s still out there,” said Joe. “It didn’t come from outer space. There’s a very meaningful probability that it can arise again.
Michael Lewis (The Premonition: A Pandemic Story)
The CEO had long been interested in pandemics. He and his wife, Priscilla, had launched the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub in 2016, with a mission to “support the science and technology that will make it possible to cure, prevent, or manage all disease by the end of the century.” Zuckerberg was particularly interested in immunization, as it involved technology and, above all, scale. To run the Biohub, Zuckerberg hired Joseph DeRisi, a biochemist at the University of California San Francisco, who had invented the technology that first identified severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, which happened to be a coronavirus. Just months before the pandemic hit, Zuckerberg had livestreamed a discussion with DeRisi that touched on advances in virology and addressed “the erosion of a sense of truth and trust in experts.

The reminder that the Nigerian police being understaffed, undertrained and underpaid was why the #EndSARS protest went out of control. Stop blaming peaceful protesters for inability of the police to perform their duties and maintain order.

It is the recklessness and irresponsibility of the Nigerian government that is bringing back the EndSARS street protest. The struggle must continue because the country belongs to us all.

An idle hand is not just the devil's workshop, it is the devil's abode. He lives rent free there. When you don't provide job opportunities, intentionally deprived them of quality education and steal their future opportunities, they will come for your peace of minds. The earlier our leaders understand that these people are not just agitating for an end to SARS but everything that surround deepening state of corruptions in the country, the better they act up and effect the change. This is just the beginning of a very long journey that will reshape the state of our nation.

The government never wanted to end the SARS injustice, that wasn't the agenda. The goal was to curb the spread of the protest across the country which they had achieved. But at what cost?
