Coronvavirus
The virus started in a wet market in China, where wildlife, dead and alive, is on sale, in December, 2019, and believed to have come from a person eating a bat, and has spread worldwide as an epidemic killing millions.
Desire to eat wildlife meat
Has created a killing virus
Spreading world-wide without restraint
Killing millions in its wake.
Countries in lock-down
People terrified
Many wearing face masks
Told the only protection is washing hands.
Health workers trying to save lives
Doctors and nurses dying
Supermarkets trying to keep shelves stocked
Elderly at supreme risk.
