While the coronavirus has left bitter memories and experiences for people, a delicacies shop in India’s Kolkata has turned it into a sweet - literally. You can now taste the famous sweet of the state, "Sandesh", which is available in the shape of the virus.

A picture of the sweet put out by a twitter user has been widely shared on social media platforms. But the treat did not flatter Tweeples. While the country is under lockdown, the candy shops are allowed to operate for four hours every day in the state.
Yuck.....

This comes after another strange incident where a couple in India’s central state of Chhattisgarh named their twins, born during the ongoing 21-day lockdown in the country, COVID and Corona. While the baby girl was named Corona, COVID was chosen for the boy.
Some new parents named their new born twins as corona and Covid. The amount of stupidity of this irresponsible parents . Imagine bringing new beings into this cursed planet and finding it funny and naming them after some trendy flu.
