Covid pandemic future looks dire
This new variant spreads like wildfire
Life feels so ominous
Looming large over us
Hard to find happy thoughts to inspire
Seems this virus is keen to mutate
Sneaky versions that might seal our fate
All year Delta was worst
But now Omicron’s first
What new havoc can Covid create?
As infections rise straight off the chart
Pfizer booster jabs playing their part
Race to keep it at bay
But it won’t go away
Covid 19 stays strong at its heart
Will restrictions be brought into force
One more lock-down might do it of course
Careful plans go awry
As we all wonder why
We can’t kill this damned virus at source
As we look to another new year
It’s so hard to find real Christmas cheer
No one knows what will be
We must just wait and see
Mixed with hope, trepidation, and fear…

I just wish someone would make a decision, tbh I only listen to the advice from the scientists now.

I know it’s not easy to have to make such a difficult call on such extreme measures, but just expecting everyone to make up their own mind to do what’s best is unfair for those who have no option but to maintain an income in such difficult circumstances… because these personal decisions have a knock-on cost too, both financially and health-wise… 😦
