The corona parent

A new species seems to have emerged from this Covid-19 epidemic-the corona parent. (Lazy name, thanks to the corona parent, more on this later).

The corona parent is between 25 and 40. Forcefully weaned off maggi only a few years ago, this species can be identified by the perpetual frown on its face.

One of the defining characteristics of this species is the tendency to wear the martyr persona with ease. It also expects the non-corona parents to understand their sacrifices and behave accordingly. 

A whiny, screechy, grating voice indistinguishable from that of their children precedes their arrival anywhere and also indicates their presence. This voice can carry upto a distance of 100-200 metres and is capable of inflicting serious, temporary brain damage on others (hence the lazy naming).

Stuck with children who share the same mental age, they are engaged in a constant battle of oneupmanship, where the loser is always the non corona-parent.

Jealousy for a content, self isolated, single person is said to be the reason for most of their rages.

It is advisable to keep your distance from them ( Preferably 250 metres away).

Acceptable noises that you are allowed to make are sympathetic hmnns hmnns ...

Advice at your own peril.

Make faces if youd like to get it rearranged in some way.

The corona parent is a mutated form of the "parent". The permanent martyrs who  always expect the world to be thankful for producing such wonderful cretins.

The corona parent is capable of sustaining it's annoying behavior for days at end.

The more this quarantine and self-isolation continues, the more this species propagates.

The only hope for the non-corona parent is a vaccine for this blasted virus.
