The Password is: "Uncertainty"*
People are literally dying in the street
and about that subject Trump refuses to Tweet
Everyday as the body count rises
Our President's daily briefings are full of surprises
He suggested that people should get injected with a cleaning product solution
which is further proof this man belongs in a mental institution
Hundreds of people called into poison center hotlines
I guess they didn't read the products warning label signs
The end of this nightmare is still not here
and more will die from this virus I fear
As sure as I am known for writing pithy rhymes
we are now living in uncertain times

Human kind has always lived in uncertainty. This counrtry has been in a delicate spot for a while and this crisis shakes the comfort we are used to. The worst is yet to come, this poem expresses this well

Even in the best of times-life is an "Uncertainty" but, this whole situation shows the "flaws" in our government and it's ability to protect our people and to save lives. But, we should have "bought" that lesson from "Katrina" and "9/11"

Its a little different, as the former threats to health didnt require a shut down of local business and 9/11 wasnt a local threat that everyone felt would actually reach them. Id think the anthrax threat that came after hit closer to home, even though nothing came of it. If this were like the plague, this government would fold even quicker lmao. If you think the government is bad you should see how the healthcare system is holding up with these shortages, policy bending, and low staffing. Shit if a hospital system dont know what to do about this specific issue, our government isnt gonna handle it right. And in my view, this shit is overblown on purpose. Some nice chaos to distract from the real issues coming up at the end of the year. And whats wrong with some population control to go along with it, right?

Even in 9/11 and Katrina people nationwide still went to work. This isnt the same as people feel it can directly affect them. After 9/11 we were screwed with how shit was handled afterwards, but people didnt feel the impact unless it was financial. Shit the anthrax scare hit closer to home. This 'pandemic' as they say is being poorly handled by the healthcare field, how can you even expect more from your government? Its not the plague, the numbers dont even come close, but I'm sure this virus was released for many purposes and this "mistreatment" of the situation is purposeful. For what reason, well see, or not.
