Oh for fuck’s sake. Can you please take this shit out of the Quarantine Zone and put it somewhere else? The Pit would be a nice place.

In the meantime, since the BJP’s farts smell like unicorns…

Perhaps the BJP has some insight into dealing with the coronavirus:

[An actual governmental press release](https://pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=1600895) (hey, it was early on, so why not throw shit at the wall):

> Advisory for Corona virus
> 
> Homoeopathy for Prevention of Corona virus Infections
> 
> Unani Medicines useful in symptomatic management of Corona Virus infection

I don’t think “Western journalism” is the problem here.
