Every cloud has a silver lining...
A photographer in Jalandhar in the Indian state of Punjab took this shot of the Himalayas after the city had been in coronavirus lockdown for just over a week. He said that it was the first time he had seen them after 30 years of living there.

First the virus came for the sick and elderly, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not sick or elderly.
Then it came for the NHS staff, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not working for the NHS.
Then it came for the profiteers, the careless and the reckless, and I did not speak out—
Because I support everything the government has done to help them.
Then the virus came for me—and there was no one left to help me.

An appropriate 19th century painting with a moral for these times - 'Truth Coming Out Of Her Well' by Jean-Léon Gérôme.
THE NAKED TRUTH.
According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: "It's a marvellous day today"! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: "The water is very nice, let's take a bath together!" The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage. The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbours no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.
Who would have guessed - Boris Johnson exposed in 1895.

There's little hope for the world when some people even wear racist jeans...
