Sure Looks Bleak

I am so greatly concerned
  that I may just get burned
by this raging Corona virus
  My home state's in crisis  

Illinois, home to 13 million folks
  has 19 reported cases; no joke  
Sure looks as if we're all gonna die
  So, my dear friends ~ Goodbye

Had a good chuckle at this one Gershon. Very much sums up this dire situation (according to the media). Humour is the solution!! Best wishes..Ron :)

Death is just another word for "going home". See you when we get there.

Don't know where I'm gonna end up. I'll hang on down here as long as possible. Ciao. ~ Gershon

Hey Gershon, How are you, you must be cross with me, hope not, and you are certainly not going to die, you are far too full of life. We are going to have vitamin B injections and lots of veg and fruit and wash our hands often and no kisses or hand shakes - you'll be fine, I know it! Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Well, I coughed twice today. I probably only have about 30 years to live. LOL. Thanks, Jennifer!

What they’ve been saying: how many people personally do you know that have it. What I mean to say is how many people have someone in their personal circle that have it, Now in those countries with the concentrated outbreak it’s a different story or those in close contact with many people.

Up to 25 cases in Illinois now. 13 million don't have it. What are my odds? LOL. Thanks, Kim
