You’ve heard of reproduction numbers,
the rate one person spreads disease;
if more than one it’s bad news,
less than one it’s better;
let’s all do our best
to bring it down
to something
nearer
0.

Hospitals filled and overflowing;
health workers working all hours;
horrid trolls, always lying,
hateful, plague-denying;
households just like ours
healing, dying;
hope flowers.
Hoax? What
hoax?
This coronaverse brought to you by the letter H: a nonet for the ninth of March
Nemesis. Albrecht Dürer (c 1501)
Balanced on a globe she floats, wings spread,
up above the mountain village
bearing the reins of restraint
and the cup of promise.
Nemesis she is,
and Fortuna.
Downfall or
reward
looms.
