Nice one, Gershon. But have a care; the reference to a ‘Yellow’ submarine could be considered racist!

Wow! Thanks for the heads up, Geoffrey. Never would have thought of this. ~ Shanghai Czech (LOL)

G'day Gershon … the bug has sent panic all over the world. Would Cyrus have been safer in a red submarine? Thanks Gershon - Lindsay

It was just a poem, Alexis. I don't know anyone who has the virus. Only 15 reported cases in the whole USA. ~ Heading for the nearest submarine

Well, on the other hand, only one new case n the USA in the last two weeks. 335 million people here do not have the virus. Only 15 cases so far. Everyone's quick to blame Trump and Pence -- when the blame is squarely on the Chinese Communist government. ~ gw
