A public health ditty

Look, it's a silly song about the pandemic. Lyrics follow.

Chorus:
It's not that hard to cover your nose
Inside your mask is where it goes
The COVID case count grows and grows
So please take care to cover your nose

Verse 1:
You wouldn't wear your pants below your privatest of parts
You care about your neighbors' lungs; you care about their hearts
You can spread the virus long before your very first symptom shows
So please take care to cover your nose

Verse 2:
Your doctors and your nurses are among the hardest hit
Spare a prayer for long-term care workers; they're in the thick of it
Pneumonia is no picnic and a vent just straight-up blows
So please take care to cover your nose

Bridge:
We are all in this together, friends and strangers
So we all must work together, no Lone Rangers
(though even the Lone Ranger wore a mask
I suggest you do the same)

Verse 3: 
It's not a magic bullet but it cuts the odds you'll spread
the virus to your neighbor, who might wind up all too dead
A quarter-million deaths and counting; here's what I propose
Let's all take care to cover our nose

Ha! Fantastic!

My son and I were out for our weekly walk to the library to pick up our holds yesterday; generally, people have always been quite excellent about stepping out of our way (he pushes me in my wheelchair). The kids scatter, dogwalkers turn aside, etc. At one point yesterday we spotted a cluster of preteen boys across the street, each a good 8ft apart, all masked yay, animatedly talking, it's great to see the kids abiding... But then we passed a set of adults who made no effort to move, so we had to squeeze past, and the woman had her mask dangling from one ear, talking with great energy and I turned my head away as we skimmed past them, thinking thoughts at her, you know? Where we are the outbreak is so severe, it's scary. Sigh.
