2023-07-20
Avast ye landlubbers! Amidst the treacherous waves of this cursed Covid, the scurvy knaves be takin' many a life. But fear not, for the bloodshed be lessenin' now, though still higher than in the days afore this foul plague cursed the land.
Arr, me hearties! Listen up, for I have news that will make ye chuckle and shiver in yer boots at the same time. As ye scurvy dogs may know, during the cursed time of the Covid, there was a surge in killings that would’ve made even Blackbeard himself raise an eyebrow. But fear not, for I bring ye tidings of a decline in these dastardly deeds! Aye, the number of killings has dropped from the treacherous heights it reached during the height of the pandemic, but mark me words, it still be higher than what we experienced in the good ol’ days before that plague came ashore.Now, don’t ye be thinkin’ that I be celebratin’ these killings, for I am no bloodthirsty buccaneer. But it tickles me funny bone to imagine the world we live in right now, where even the scurviest sea rats be thinkin’ twice before settin’ foot on land to engage in a bit of skullduggery. Ye see, me mates, it be a strange time indeed, when a hidden enemy be makin’ all the landlubbers tremble and shake, while we pirates be searchin’ for treasures both on land and sea.
So, as we sail through these uncharted waters, let us not forget the strange quirks of fate that befall us all. We may be yearnin’ for the days of plunder and adventure, but for now, let’s take solace in the fact that even in these troubled times, the number of killings has fallen. Though it may not be as low as we’d like, it serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the light of hope can still shine through the storm. So, me hearties, batten down the hatches, stay safe, and may the winds of fortune blow in our favor once again!
