Virus From the Corona

Definition:
Corona ' the rarefied gaseous envelope of the sun or other stars'
Dose that mean this virus is space born or maybe from mars?
 
The media will inform you to Heed the warnings and feel that fear
 'That we should Close the boarders 
"let's not have it here" .
don't touch that ‘
and avoid that place the latest reports confirm it’s from space .

Just a cough at the beginning this heralds its start 
'but watch the hell out 
‘for this virus is smart .

I heard on the radio that hospitals can no longer cope 
'this thing from the stars has robbed our hope , 
thousands have fallen and some have even died 
from this astral weapon that's now been applied .

So What's the government’s line to combating this plague ?
It’s to Forget this poem 
‘As it’s misleading and vague .

As a matter of information, I posted a poem this morning entitled The Second Coming Of Christ. It isn't gory but the fact is the Corona Virus is like nothing more than a mosquito bite compared the Second Coming. The problem I see is that people weren't prepared for the virus and many are still scoffing. They are also scoffing at the Second Coming. Those are the ones I really feel sorry for. The virus is real and at our local hospital, a three year old died from it. Woe unto the scoffers!!

Simon, I like how you put this into perspective. While it is a serious matter, we are not in control, and neither is the government --- total control belongs to God. After 20 years in the Air Force as a member of the Disaster Preparedness Team and 23 years at the local VA in the Nursing Home Care Unit and the Pharmacy, I don't take it lightly nor do I scoff. I simply take the necessary precautions we all should take and let Nature run its course. Stay well, my friend, and God Bless you!!

I don’t think they will be able to stop it. These are very interesting times. Being fearful will not make it any easier.

I totally agree , although I laugh and use humour to point out the light amongst so much darkness, my fingers are still crossed and the afflicted are in my prayers
