SAN DIEGO− Here are some coronavirus couplets:
Nothing makes me more livid
Than post-opening spikes of Covid.
*
It’s not an oppressive task
To have to wear a mask.
*
Like FDR have no fear
The virus will just disappear.
*
Lots of people at a rally
Will surely raise the death tally.
*
Let us increase the public wealth,
But not at the cost of public health.
*
Anti-shut down defiance
Doesn’t change the science.
*
Once again the US is great
With the number one infection rate.
