COVID-19 Pandemic

By Katacha Díaz

Coronavirus
the world comes to screeching halt
Dow takes grisley plunge

*

In denial with
precious time wasted, what and
when did he know it?

*

Stay-at-home order
a matter of life and death
self-quarantine STAT

*

Pandemic heroes
medical, law enforcement
professionals

*

Elderly lifeline
neighbors come to the rescue
grocery shopping

*

A deadly virus
lack of planning, leadership
shaken to the core
