Corona, Cusco And Me

 Hi all, hope you had an reasonable start into the new year given the circumstances.

I am meanwhile back in Cusco and here is, what happend so far. After having tested

negative with the utterly useless PCR-test ( for 59 Euros a snip, really), i have been

allowed to enter an Lufthansa aircraft to Frankfurt. During the flight a stewardess

handed me over a satchet with an sanitizing hand wipe and i grew suspicious of its

ingredients.

Shure enough the wipe is doused in ethanol as well as 2-propanol and 1-propanol. The

former is in common use in example for household fireplaces and very hazardous as

being carcinogenic. The latter can cause dizziness ,drowsiness and on top attacks the

central nerve system ( CNS). Backside instructions on the sachet say i should rub that

toxin in my hands for sixty seconds - amazing. It seems to me, that once again the 

treatment is deadlier than the disease. In Italy for example they killed countless 

people in their struggle against an alleged Corona virus with an cocktail of high 

dosage cortisone and other hazardous pharmaceuticals. Here in Peru now every time i

enter a shop some bloke jumps along and sprays that liquid on my hands and even on

coins. I don't want to sound paranoid, though i have the sneaky suspicion these sani-

tizers are a subtle part of a warfare against us , the people and should be avoided as 

well as the jab. Also of concern is the Byssinosis disease, caused by cotton fibers

used in cotton masks, which could intrude lungs.

The Peruvian government just closed the border, because a mysterious variant of the 

virus has been detected, so the whole nonsense drags on and on. I wonder, if the 11  

billion dollar loan from the IMF has something to do with it.

Just before i left i read, that every foreigner coming to Peru shall resort to a 14 day 

quarantine. I thought, alright, no problem, i can sit out that time in Cusco and filled 

out an affidavit about my health status with the correct data. When i arrived at Lima 

airport however  a small sheet of paper at the migration counter says i would have to

spend that time in Lima. So the Peruvians want to get tourism back on track and in-

carcerate tourists for two weeks in Lima - strange. I left the international part of the

airport undisturbed and walked over to the national part, checked-in and flew over to

Cusco.

All-in-all it was smooth sailing and i especially must thank LATAM airlines for their

friendly and efficient service. Certainly not easy for them to reschedule flights all the 

time.

Upon arriving at the Hostal Frankenstein i swiftly will resume making Schnaps, what

is certainly a good way to pass a quarantine and in general i am glad to be back 

despite the adversity in context with the virus ...
