Re-incarnated as COVID-19, this novel Coronavirus came into this world,
Armed with keys to enter human cells, squeezing out oxygen,
and triggering a cascade of inflammatory reactions spiraling down
to respiratory failure and death.
Unlike its predecessors, this strain causing a Tsunami wave of illnesses and death.
From flu-like illness to fatality...its presentation changing like the
designs on the kaleidoscope
Making the best and the brightest Virologist to Pulmonologist puzzled.
It hopped from person to person, transported by respiratory droplets,
and it rested on the fomites to attack its next victim.
From Wuhan, it made its footprints into every part of the world in a matter of weeks.
Distancing us all socially, crushing us economically.
Fear is the only emotion on the human faces now.
No terrorist in our recent history has induced such fear
in humans as this invisible enemy!
We are in a war with a malicious microorganism with dwindling supplies of PPE, losing our own brave soldiers every single day, still figuring out ways to conquer it…
From age-old Chloroquine to mechanical ventilators to plasma transfusion,
we continue to come up with tactics to battle this new beast.
Until we invent a vaccine or treatment, the only thing we are going to hold onto is....
hope and of course our masks!
