There will be an answer and watch how quickly the public will forget. . It is the drama of it all we both fear and cherish. . Follow the rules, we will be fine. Belief is a huge factor, methinks. PR

Hi Gershon, you are so righT - man has gone to the moon and in a few years is to go to Mars yet no vaccine to fight this itsy bitsy teenie-weenie bug, which has more strength than all you mention in your poem - scary my friend - We will be fine though. we are troupers and please God we all listen to our Presidents and Prime Ministers and each other, to stay indoors for 3 weeks. I think this is as always a clever poem Gershon but also so true! Hugs, Jennifer.

So scary to dwell on it.. But it's like you said: If we really cooperate in this effort, we will flatten that curve, as happened in S. Korea. Let's go for it, Jennifer! Blessings, Gershon

an invisible bug that a civilization so medically advanced cannot combat...such a scary thought isn't it? what can we do but pray that it leaves as we watch it overcoming a whole world... it's spreading so fast and there are so many more than we even know of with the lack of testing! hugs and blessings my friend!

We are helpless against a brand-new bug. That's clear. Somehow there has to be a 'guiding principle' that governs all viruses, and that discovery of that principle will lead to the ability to respond dramatically faster and (more) effectively. Just give me the reins of this project and watch us go. Hahahaha. I'm as much of a medical researcher as you are a a piano mover. Nice to dream though --- and let someone else do the hard work... ~ Dreamy
