Coronavirus

Clapping for carers and all our key workers

Online shopping queues driving us bonkers.

Restrictions on our movements, we’d never foreseen

Obituaries pages stretch for young, old and in-between.

NHS heroes have seamlessly converged

As a new ‘normal’ has suddenly emerged.

Vulnerable people stay protected indoors

Isolated from everyone as the death rate soars.

Returning to February life seems but a dream

UK daily TV updates we watch and cry and scream

Scrubs sewn from sheets for the champion team.
