Stock market's down 2,000 points Oil's selling for $32 a barrel The entire country of Italy's on corona-virus restriction So, wash your hands more often Take frequent and wise precautions Yes, the news today is pretty terrible But it's you who decides it's unbearable

This is why the only news I get is from my two poetry sites.

Here's a news bulletin for you: 'No good news today once again.' Stay tuned for broken stories. ~ gw

Hi Gershon, Its truly very scary - we have 13 confirmed cases in our Province and one of them is critical - what can we do, i don't think our generation has lived through a world wide epidemic - pray that the medical profession will find a cure soon. Blessings, Jennifer.

So true. Heard a saying once along the lines that 'it's not what happens in your life that is important. It's the way you react!' Great post Sir. Ron

So true. It's how we deal with what happens that makes or breaks us... :) gw

It's impossible to imagine what China and Italy are really going through. What's next? Waiting for the shoe store to drop.

Only hope we don't have to go through it here in North America soon. :) gw

Wouldn't you rather we'd learn these lessons from a different teacher?! Thanks, Jenish

You've made a good point, Gershon. Panic and overreacting only makes matters worse. Love your poem! Blessings.

Haha... Not that there's any panic out there, eh?! ---Naw… Thanks, Evelyn. :) gw
