Pandemic

Systemic failure is evident.  
Unemployment may attack the system much like the  Murder Hornet.
We thank our essential workers for our groceries.  
Hopefully more drug free citizens will donate more plasma and less racism.  
Georgia's on fire, yet we open first.
I hear New York uses refrigerated trucks for Hursts.
It's a Pandemic systemic overload yet we're overdosing on newfound compassion.  
Racism points to inequality, but so do grocery store sanitation.  
North Korea shot at their southern cousin; the next week they donate PPE to our country.  
We remember our allies.
Neighbors are meeting each other in a state of bewilderment.  
We promise to endure.  
This Pandemic has delivered new champions to battle old problems.  
The World pressed the reset button,  but I think we were playing Halo- where is Master Chief?
It is my understanding that schools are closed, but not really.  
Social distancing looks funny when done correctly.
Mike Pence rejects his new identity.  
This Pandemic is its own entity.  
Friends have be come enemies yet the opposite is also reality.  
Interestingly I've seen both winners and losers but each case seems to be chosen randomly.  
Is it true that this Pandemic was created in a lab?
