Another “C” word

Yes there’s another “C” word out there 
tho I will not say it’s name
coz media has mentioned it THAT many times
just like Brexit
What a shame!
So there is a virus spreading very fast
It has everybody everywhere scared and aghast
But really there is nothing one can do until it fizzles itself out
We shouldn’t get in a stew coz it will die without a doubt

Yes each and every one of us are well aware of the fact
So we wash our hands with soapy water to try and counteract
Whilst there isn’t anything else we can possibly do 
Let’s face it the scientists say it has symptoms similar to the flu
We should concentrate on looking after our old
They are more vulnerable to fatality so we are told
One can bet your bottom dollar that this will soon be in our history
Yet how wide spread it will travel at the moment is but a mystery...
