You came like a thief in the night without warning. You came alive in the City of Wuhan, China - then spread your kiss of death to South Korea, Iran, Italy. Your wrath was felt in all of Europe and the entire world. We despise you for your evil ways and your path of destruction. You have left lifeless bodies in caskets lined up like brave soldiers; too many to bury. So many tears have been shed and broken hearts left behind as you continue to fight with no remorse, yet tread with quite a huge smile. You are a murderous villain COVID-19, who has started this war on humanity for reasons unknown.
When
you reached America we felt your rage, and soon learned “There was nowhere to
run and nowhere to hide”. We now stopped living in our world as we knew it. We are
prisoners of our own homes; sad, lonely and unemployed. Some need to quarantine
in isolation as more have lost their lives. Our law enforcement, healthcare
workers and first responders, who work so bravely and so tirelessly to save
lives, are battling with death as they continue to lose patients on a daily
basis. Our Military/National Guard have been called in to assist in setting up
temporary hospitals in order to accommodate the many people who have contracted
YOU! YOU – the relentless, ruthless COVID-19! Our President, Vice President,
White House Health Team, our Governors, Mayors and so many others in this
fight, have stepped up to the plate on a daily basis in order to inform a
frightened America of the continued struggle and continued progress in this
“War on the World”. A Navy hospital ship, called “The Comfort”, has been
deployed to New York harbor to aid in the coronavirus crisis. It will serve as a floating hospital to add
capacity. Another Navy hospital ship, called “The Mercy”, will be deployed to
the West Coast. America is grateful to all these selfless, compassionate,
determined, and amazing people, who are doing great things and who have teamed
up to fight you to the death COVID-19! So beware! They are coming for you!
As we
wait for your demise you wicked COVID-19, we are being forced to practice “social
distancing” in hopes of keeping you away. We cannot get too close to friends
and family for fear that you will come between us. Food and personal
necessities are scarce, as barren shelves in supermarkets and various stores
have now become a common thing. We humans have become scavengers hunting for
food, toiletries and paper goods. We now realize we are all animals at heart, and
it is all about survival.
You
have turned my hometown of Brooklyn, New York and our entire New York City into
an unrecognizable place. What was once a vibrant, bustling “City that Never
Sleeps”, has suddenly gone dormant – lights out, lost in darkness and morphed
into an eerie “Ghost Town”. Schools and non-essential businesses are shut
down…and we are all on “lockdown”. Pharmacies, Hospitals, Urgent Care Centers,
Doctors Offices, Banks, Supermarkets and Convenience Stores are accessible; and
although restaurants and bars are closed, “take-out” is available at some
establishments. Thank God for that, and a special “shout-out” to all those
courageous people who are coming out to provide these services. Sadly, our economy is hurting and our streets
remain empty with only echoes of a past life that we pray will re-emerge once
again.
