Witty and rhyming two-line slogans in Hindi are being written on trucks and other large vehicles in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal as part of an initiative to motivate people to get vaccinated against Covid-19, an official said on Thursday.

The exercise is being carried out by a city-based NGO in association with the district administration and the National Council for Science and Technology Communication (NCSTC), a government body under the Department of Science and Technology.

As part of this, slogans like – “Teeka lagwaoge to baar baar milenge, laparwahi karoge to Haridwar me milenge (If you get vaccinated, we will meet again and again; but if you neglect, we will meet at Haridwar) or “Main khubsoorat hun, mujhe nazar na lagana; zindagi bhar sath dungi, vaccine jaroor lagwana” (I am beautiful, don’t cast an evil eye on me; I will be with you forever if you go for vaccination) – are being written on vehicles.

Some other slogans include “Dekho magar pyar se, corona darta hai vaccine ki maar se” (Look at me, albeit with love; corona is scared of vaccine), “Hans mat pagli, pyar ho jayega, teeka lagwa le, corona haar jayega” (Don’t laugh, you will fall in love; get a vaccine jab, corona will be defeated).

How’s the Hot Desking Going Covid?

One of the benefits of the Covid-19 epidemic is a total rethink about how we live and work (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-28/coronavirus-could-reshape-how-australians-work-forever/12097124 ).

One of the cornerstones of America’s fast food chains is temporarily stopping their famous slogan amid coronavirus fears.

Recent health and safety slogans out of China: (Source)

When it comes to coronavirus, sometimes the tone is straightforward:

“Better to wear a mask than a ventilator; better to stay at home than in an ICU.”

Others are more dramatic:

“Those who gather together are shameless; those who play mahjong are daredevils.”

“Have a bite of a wild animal dish today, see you in hell tomorrow.”

“this year a house visit, next year a grave visit”

And some are kinda funny.

“Never ever go to grocery stores as long as you have a scallion at home.”

“Stay in and don’t wander around. You have AC, television and WiFi as your friends.”

More from here: https://www.shine.cn/opinion/2001310979/

“Whoever has a fever and yet did not report to the authorities are all enemies hidden amidst the masses” (发烧不说的人，都是潜伏在人民群众中的阶级敌人),

“Partygoers are shameless, mahjong players are desperados” (出来聚会的是无耻之辈，一起打麻将的是亡命之徒),

“Those who returned home from Hubei and yet did not report to the authorities are time bombs”

(湖北回来不报告的人都是定时炸弹), “Bite a bit of game food today, meet in the netherworld tomorrow” (今天沾一口野味，明天地府相会),

“Mask or respirator, you have to ponder and choose one out of the two” (口罩还是呼吸机，您老看着二选一) …

‘If you love your parents, lock them up!’ The story behind China’s bizarrely aggressive Covid slogans

China’s culture of catchy slogans has been vital to its Covid-19 recovery efforts. Shanghai resident Asen Velinov explains the rich history behind some of the bizarre slogans seen on social media.

“Pick where you will be resting – on your couch, in jail, in hospital or in an early grave.”

“Take a walk today and grass will soon cover your grave.”

“Take a bite of a wild animal today – find yourself in hell tomorrow.”

Slogans play a big role in China. The ones above are from Covid-19 banners seen across the country and shared on social media. They can be seen all over the world too, as the power of a soundbite is clear. A pithy short slogan often trumps a well-reasoned explanation if it paints a strong image and uses humour, absurdity or exaggeration to make a point. Here in China, we see them in front of churches and at rallies, hear them chanted by crowds and used by governments to sell messages and ideas. READ MORE >>>>>

From Taiwan:

The foreign ministry has rolled out a pigeon in a facemask to announce entry restrictions on foreigners with recent travel history to China, adopting the slogan “Virus OUT, Safety IN” and “To visit each other is to kill each other”

COVID19 Security Slogans

by Davi Ottenheimer on April 5, 2020

Years ago I won the TSA competition for security slogans.

I’m not proud, especially because I didn’t enter it and nobody told me my slogan had won until an external investigator pointed out that someone borrowed it from my 2006 blog post and claimed the prize for themselves.

Anyway I’ve written a little here about the strange dearth of security slogans, a missed opportunity, during COVID-19.

Now I’m really getting curious why US officials are trying to encourage things like mask wearing, yet nobody has come up with basic jingles to promote it.

A quick search has only turned up a 1918 example from San Francisco.

Obey the laws, and wear the gauze. Protect your jaws from septic paws.

Seems applicable today. If I don’t find posters of this soon I may just start making them myself. With luck, someone at TSA will notice and then submit to their next competition as their own. READ MORE >>>>>>>

COVID-19: Beware brand slogans that ring hollow

30th Mar 2020

Some 50 years ago, during the financial crisis of the ’70s, my dad’s best friend ran out of money, jeopardizing the future of his company and staff. Over dinner, he explained the situation to his bank manager. In less than two hours, the bank manager had made a decision, way outside his mandate, saving the business and its employees. What no one could know at the time was that the company would become one of Europe’s largest pharma companies, with close to 50,000 staff. They still use the same bank. READ MORE >>>>>>>

Old Slogans Reborn

A London-based creative team has revived some of the UK’s most famous and catchy World War 1 and World War 2 slogans to help in the new global battle against the spread of Covid-19.

From the famous WW1 recruitment poster ‘Lord Kitchener Wants You’ to the superlative piece of of guilt tripping ‘Daddy, what did you do in the Great War?’ these slogans and images are familiar parts of wartime imagery in the UK. James Hodson and Jason Keet are a creative duo who work at Engine and they were inspired to revisit those classic posters while watching Prime Minister Boris Johnson announce a UK-wide lockdown in response to the growing coronavirus infection rates in the country.

“We were sitting at home watching Boris’s speech telling people to stay in. It felt like a wartime public announcement. So we had the idea of using wartime posters. Then we wrote the lines and designed the posters overnight, and posted them the next day,” they say. see them here : https://www.lbbonline.com/news/retro-wartime-slogans-get-a-coronavirus-update
