A couple more poems by Dave Anthony.
3 April
Healthcare
Covid-19 pandemic
Healthcare precedence
Nothing polemic.
Health systems overwhelmed

Essential health services outstretched
Healthcare workers fatigued.
Without protective gear
Canon fodder in frontline fire.
Medical science and technology
Highest ever, yet
Inadequate to hasten production line.
Ventilator scarcity – triage
Doctors must play god
who lives and who dies.
No work, no money, no food
Covid test unaffordable
Too poor and marginalised.
Coronavirus! Why worry
Some live, others die?
How far healthcare outreach?

4 April
Quarantine
Quarantine
Magical fourteen
Isolation absolute
No dispute.
Controlled Movement
On Act-ual parchment
Ordered housebound.
In-house walk around
Distanced association
Read, write, WhatsApplication.
Stuck in a doldrum
Dissipate the boredom
You’re still free
Plan activity;
No jog, no walk
Skip and talk
Garden greenery
Survey scenery.
For Covid, stay negative
Otherwise, be positive
Live and let live
