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! (Yalto) "Yalto" is a form invented by yours truly Line 1-15: 3,4,2,4,5,3,2,3,2,3,3,5,6,1,5 syllables Date written: 04/05/2020

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:-)
