"How many nations did we destroy..."
"Stop, this is no time for this."
"But, surely this is the time for all nations to come together and to fight this deadly pandemic."
"I fully agree with you but the pandemic is putting pressure on resources of even the rich countries and need I add, no country, not even the US, has the necessary equipment to deal with the rising number of cases..."
"That's certainly true so do you reckon The Khan's call, echoed by the multilaterals that debt repayment schedules need to be revisited on an emergent basis should be entertained by the rich countries..."

"Being facetious is all we have left for entertainment against being incarcerated at home."
