The Chronicle of the Coronavirus

Double Haikus

This warm CA spring
The exaggerated fears
Flu kills more every year
.

All fear death blood sells
All God's goodness forgotten
Sucked in by media hell

Panagiota, I've been waiting to see that word in a poem. But it's not called that, anymore. The CDC call's it SARS-CoV-2. -Richard

Frightening though, it will get worse before it gets better. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

People love hysteria. Like when we go to a horror movie. Unfortunately, the media are being back ends of horses..and may wreck world economies. Do they care? You must be kidding. PR

Hello Tom! I think you get the point...of course it will spread but it is not the plague. My point is the hysteria. In healthy people it is a mild virus. Per the news, we are all dying tonight. Old folks...no crowds. People need to calm down. Nobody here will wear a face mask. Dense! Be well, Panagiota xx
