The Corona Virus 2020

The Corona Virus 2020 copyright 2020 by jon gutmacher They came in boats they came in planes they called themselves by many names and carried something quite unseen so dark and dread a nightmare dream They smiled as the virus spread far and wide to every home the countryside and as the sick began to die it kept on spreading we wondered why And then the truth came out one day from China again that’s what they say a virus deadly it kills and maims the elderly this deadly game No one was safe the streets soon bare the stores all closed no one to care and millions soon were out of work as all things closed few places worked And then the light a cure was found the world rejoiced from all around and vaccines spread all virus bound the sickness gone no virus found So have we learned this lesson dear that we must always be prepared pandemic lurks it mutates quick it will be back more will get sick And so our leaders must make things right build the research make things right so next time when the virus comes we will be ready this is not done

I appreciate what you are trying to express here, but I am not trusting at all of the world leaders and the "vaccine" they have prepared for us. I will refuse to take it and I advise everyone to do the same. much worse is in store for us than Covid. I pray for us all.

Vaccines do not work for everyone, and there will always be someone who has a very bad reaction - but they save millions of lives. However, when I wrote this it was with the hope one would be developed quickly to end this awful mess.

thanks, Jenish. Really appreciated, and of course, great to hear from you again. I heard on TV that they're thinking that testing should be aimed to find folks who have had the disease and now have antibodies -- they would likely be safe to go back to work. That way we can get the economy moving again. Sounds like a great idea if the testing is available and fast enough.
