Bengaluru: Since the pandemic hit, the social sidewalk and quarantine norms have triggered fear of being lost among many.
But some experienced Fomo for different reasons in the third wave – with their colleagues infected with Covid-19, they felt ‘abandoned’.
The social media platform is berangzi with memes and jokes about ‘rare species’ that is still not sick, while others suffer from coughing, fever and body pain.

“Last week, everyone except two of us in my team was tested positively.

Everyone gets the goods well and I feel excluded,” He said, adding it was only in a lighter vein and he was aware of the seriousness of the virus.
“I remain cautious since the first two waves because I live with elderly parents.
I think all of my sanitation, cover and eat healthy has paid off the way,” he added.
