Untested,
     but quarantined!
          Virus
               named "Corona"...
                    lurks. Don't ditch the beer;
                         still drink it! Racing...
                              thoughts do swim...

laps in...
     my mind's pool!
          My shadow...
               silently mocks me.
                    Sheltered in place, scared
                         Could I be positive?
                               Lord...

I can't stop coughing!

so true for many, as they still aren't getting tests on everyone, only those that are really bad or had known exposure... good write again Edward, you are on a roll... hugs

It's near-impossible for everyone infected to get tested, unfortunately. It keeps spreading like wildfire! Thanks for the visit, Sandra:-)
