Corona

In the Hubei province of China central, Is a city which is regal. On the banks of the Yangtze mighty, A busy hub for trade, basking in glory. Wuhan is the name, known to many, Is now in the news for ignominy. A malicious virus named NovelCorona, Is having an outbreak sourced from its fauna. SoS from WHO lists it an epidemic, But it has the ability to become a pandemic. While existing treatments were not effective, The deadly virus still can't be held captive. Quite a number of people are dead, And a sizeable number have fled. Those who remain are home, confined, Mentally devastated and justly terrified. It's time we stand by them, in solidarity, Bolster them with confidence, instead of showing pity. Let them know we all are brothers in arm, No creature on this earth can cause you any harm. We'll tide by the crisis, as we have done before, Keep your hope floating, for near is the shore.

Yes, the only good thing is though it is highly contagious, it has a small mortality rate. Let's hope we develop antibodies or vaccines soon.
