The encyclopedia of the great apocalyptic phrases, by Josep Maria Fonalleras

Throughout the pandemic, in the most critical moments, in the valleys of relaxation, in what seemed like the end of the tunnel and in that (unexpected?) return to restrictions and fears, we have witnessed a long relationship of statements that tend to be catastrophic, alarmist, almost apocalyptic. There have also been loving, gentle, benefactor and reassuring messages, which have been sought for the good of the bodies and, above all, of the souls, but the tendency to speak from a tremendous perspective wins the game. You could edit an encyclopedia of the great phrases that have been pronounced with the soundtrack of the trumpets of the Final judgmentFrom that Spanish general who proclaimed that every day is Monday, in a war, to the German Minister of Health, Jens Spahn, who has said that “most citizens will be either vaccinated or recovered or dead when winter ends.” In fact, what he says does not say much, because his verbal forcefulness also includes a minority of the living, not vaccinated or infected, but what counts is raising the tone of the fatal shock. In the manual of the biblical curse, using ‘war’ or using ‘death’ ensures the shot.
