Coronvavirus

The virus started in a wet market in China, where wildlife, dead and               alive, is on sale, in December, 2019, and believed to have come from a person eating a bat, and has spread worldwide as an epidemic killing        millions.

                                           Desire to eat wildlife meat
                                           Has created a killing virus
                                           Spreading world-wide without restraint
                                           Killing millions in its wake.

                                           Countries in lock-down
                                           People terrified 
                                           Many wearing face masks
                                           Told the only protection is washing hands.

                                           Health workers trying to save lives
                                           Doctors and nurses dying
                                           Supermarkets trying to keep shelves stocked
                                           Elderly at supreme risk.

                                                              Colin Ian Jeffery
