Listen to the swarm as we explore solutions to the world-wide plague,
That dastardly virus COVID-19, for which solutions are admittedly vague.
Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization do lag
on presenting-fixes to the pandemic’s problems while the economy drags–
no masks, then you must wear masks, the so-called authorities do proclaim.
Meanwhile, many disregard this sage advice—sans masks—with distain.
Oh, the COVID-plague makes the disaffected P. C. populace very restless,
And spiraling into a Deep Depression, it certainly makes the economy lag.
First, they said let us flatten the curve in a space of a few locked-down weeks.
Then, any uptick in the number of cases meant an extension of this deadline
else an upsurge of deaths rivaling the Bubonic Plague then perilously sweeps.
Moreover, the only sure-fire resolution that would make everything all so fine
was to distance safely those venturing out a mandatory six-feet-apart in line.
Of course, we were to wash our hands in running water, vigorously scrubbing
while belting out “Happy Birthday to You” else the apocalypse was coming.
So what could be the answer to this menace the wise now passionately seek?
Oh, the COVID-plague makes the disaffected P.C. populace very restless,
And spiraling into a Deep Depression it certainly makes the economy lag.
Follow the lead of public health medics those who fought the 1918 Spanish Flu:
Quarantine those most likely to die from the virus is what everyone should do—
The elderly, the morbidly obese, those with hyper-tension, and Diabetes Two.
In the meantime, improve everyone’s odds of making COVID-19 less severe—
Getting lots of Vitamin D, so they catch a less severe case within this year.
That is a common-sense solution of what every one of us should now do.
Oh, the COVID-plague makes the disaffected P C. populace very restless,
And spiraling into a Deep Depression, it certainly makes the economy lag.
