Covid 19 6 Week Update

Six weeks in to this lockdown People now are beginning to frown Queuing up is now the norm Hold on tight ride this storm Complacency Could make you sick Social distancing is the trick Don't be fooled by the stats It's like a bed with broken slats I understand we've had the peak The death toll is playing hide n seek. Up and down like a roller coaster Please please look at the NHS poster We all know it's not easy Staying in won't make you queasy If you break the lockdown rule Then you are a real fool While we wait for the government plan Get your homes spik and span So Thursday is the day of finding Until then at least stay in hiding If it's not what you wanted Don't shout and get agitated Its been decided for your own sake Its a decision I couldn't make So yesterday's figure was seemingly lower At 288 deaths it's nearly over Then today a total of 693 Lockdown needs to remain can't you see This poem is written Tuesday 5th of May In your home you must stay This is not the time to disagree From this virus we cannot flee Let it ride it's unjust course As it's a nasty virus with no remorse The Keyworkers and those who do good Should be awarded with a knighthood So here's my message to you all Think of the vulnerable they can easily fall Think of those people in surgical gowns Please I beg you STAY IN LOCKDOWN

You're right Gordon, it's not over by a long shot, just saw Scotland are extending their lockdown for another three weeks, wise move. Stay safe Tom
