News channels, newspapers, and social media were all replete with updates about those hospitalized and those deceased. The governments were baffled. The heads babbled like maniacs. When the death toll rose frighteningly high, lockdown seemed the only solution. It had become impossible for them to stop rampant stampedes, riots, and bloody scuffles all over, causing countless fatalities. Worse, the world-wide lockdown brought the momentous mission to vaccinate people against Covid-19 to a despairing halt. No doubt, the vaccine was an absolute success. No side effects. Yet who could think the treatment would take toll of more men than the disease?

Doomed if we do nothing, doomed if we do too much. It's a good story, but not a pleasant thought. Well done

Right. There is going to be a stampede when the vaccine finally arrives. Nice story, Paritosh.
