https://www.thestar.com.my/news/world/2020/...for-coronavirus - With obesity and diabetes epidemic, Mexico braces for coronavirus - Friday, 27 Mar 2020
''''''' Mexico had 475 confirmed cases of COVID-19 - the illness caused by the virus - and six deaths by Thursday. Four of those who died had diabetes and two suffered from hypertension - both conditions that can exacerbate the illness. A seventh Mexican who died in Peru also had diabetes. While four of the victims were over age 60, the other two were 55 and 41. '''''''
Most of those who died from the Wuhan virus/Covid-19 had underlying diseases, especially diabetes and hypertension. Type-2 diabetes is often caused by a lifestyle of laziness and/or gluttony. Hypertension is often caused by a lifestyle of gluttony for meat or foods high in cholesterol(= sticky stuffs). So, these deaths may likely be a case of 'you reap what you sow' or 'karma is a bitch' or padan muka. .......
PROV.19 & 23: = 19:15 Laziness casts one into a deep sleep,
And an idle person will suffer hunger.

He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But he who is careless of his ways will die.

Do not mix with winebibbers,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat; QUOTE(unknown warrior @ Apr 9 2020, 09:34 PM)
I'll tell you why you're being rebuked.
1st of all, we don't believe in karma. Karma is hinduism/buddhism perspective where it touches not only in the current life but also on past life ie matter of rebirth.
2ndly to use the b word in that context is rather crude. When you use it in the context of padan muka, you said those people who died in corona virus deserve it,
That is being rude. You're being judgemental.

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions...s-karma-a-bitch ''''''' The English slang usage of karma has almost nothing to do with the underlying spiritual concepts. I doubt very many people who use karma even know what dharma is, or any other aspect of Hinduism or Buddhism. So while this is interesting, it does not really explain what the slang expression means. – choster Apr 18 '14 at 14:32 '''''''
''''''' In the Dictionary of Modern Proverbs, "Payback is a bitch" has a first cited occurrence from 1970, and "Life is a bitch" has a first cited occurrence from 1940 (and subsequent variations "Life is a bitch and then you die" [1982] and "Life is a bitch and then you marry one" [1987]). It's unclear whether "Payback is a bitch" is an outgrowth of "Life is a bitch," but I think it's likely, given the similarity in their focus on retribution, that "Karma is a bitch" is a mutation of "Payback is a bitch." answered Jul 25 '15 at 21:10

''''''' Also used as the rhetorical question
Ain't karma a bitch?
Synonyms:
What goes around, comes around
Getting his just desserts
He had it coming
and strongly related to
Payback's a bitch
It is likely a mix of having bad Karma and the idiom Payback's a bitch, where Payback is performed by someone wronged by the now punished person, but Karma just happened to the person for some seemingly righteous reason not necessarily related to a person or physical entity.
The bitch part is personifying the concept Karma, which is claimed to have doled out the resulting punishment.
It is a taunt aimed at a person who is supposedly asking for the situation he is in, due to his previous actions.
So the person saying it, considers the one he says it to or about deserves to be punished because of something they did.
For example: someone is so busy pointing and laughing at a person who had an accident, that he walks straight into a lamp post and breaks his nose. His friend who did not find the accident they saw funny, could say "Ain't Karma a bitch?"
Here is a short movie giving a good idea: Karma's A Bitch from Justin Tan (Likely NSFW for some)

_______ _______
The Bible does say that "we reap what we sow" and curses for sinners/law-breakers and blessings for do-gooders/law-keepers. So, those who lead a lifestyle of laziness and/or gluttony for foods and/or meats are just getting their just desserts of late-in-life diabetes and/or hypertension as a matter of fact. It is also a fact that most Wuhan virus/Covid-19 deaths are diabetics and/or hypertensives. It is not rude to state a fact of truth. Similarly, many Jews were offended when Jesus stated the truth about them going to hell if they rejected Him as their Messiah/Christ/Saviour. The truth can offend but the truth is not an offensive word. Similarly for "karma's a bitch". JOHN.6: = Many Disciples Turn Away
60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying; who can understand it?”
61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”
66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
68 But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?” 71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve. This post has been edited by lurkingaround: Apr 10 2020, 10:30 AM
