Covid Is No Big Deal

We have Covid No Big Deal. We sing, and dance do the Virginia Reel Swing our partners round and round. Prance our droplets all over this here town. Showing our muscles, displaying our pecs. None of us knowing the long-term effects. We have Covid No Big Deal. Let’s all share a community meal. We will not wear masks or take precautions at all. You cannot make us grow our brains big or tall. Science means nothing. The CDC is our enemy. We happily get our misinformation on TV.

I like this posting, Caren, because it is so tongue-in-cheek till the final line - the jolt of TV misinformation. The belief that all opinions have validity (no matter the source) can certainly have dire consequences. A strong poem. Hope that you are well. Brian

I am astounded at the number of people who feel like this, Caren. If this had been the case seventy years ago, we would not have conquered polio!

It is insanity and selfishness pure and simple.
