Found Coronavirus Poem

Assembled from various articles/social media posts:

shoot from the hip
keep the government narrative
hold down infection numbers
order a day of prayer
maybe it goes away
like a miracle
where science won’t be necessary
>
afternoon briefing
Oval Office at night
too little in the beginning
now, save the stock market
instead of everyday people
improvisational leader talks of
tests that aren’t there
maybe that will shut them up, he thinks
>
people may/may not be infected
someone claims this exists
because impeachment failed
>
it’s like the end of the world
you can’t find anything
people take far more than they need
no sanitizer, no toilet paper,
even stripping Trader Joes
like piranhas devouring prey
>
accentuate the positive
try not to read too much negative
stay home, don’t dare go out
family and friends become talking pictures
on computer and tablet screens
