It's That Simple

Do you believe in Santa Claus the Easter bunny or Lady luck? If so, you probably think this coronavirus will die on its own. But there’s as much chance of that happening as you winning the lottery...Twice! So, you can see our odds are cell-wall thin and we need to pay attention to the health experts if we are to avoid a crisis of biblical proportions. Please wash your hands and stay away from crowds, such simple steps, and yet, they're effective. Also self-quarantine in your home, if it's at all possible, or, at the very least, practice social distancing. The lives of society's elderly and most vulnerable are in grave jeopardy. Their lives depend on us depriving this virus of its human hosts, till a vaccine can be developed and becomes widely available. Wear a mask and wash your hands, doctors can't stress that enough! The world is under attack by an invisible invader, and yet, we're unprepared for such a war! Act like you already have the virus, or you will catch it; it's that simple. Hope's not a strategy, nor is the irresponsibility of youth, an excuse. COVID-19 will test our moral metal taking us to the breaking point, but hopefully, not beyond. (Free Verse) 03/20/2020
