There have been many catastrophic events in history that have changed how we live life. The corona virus--COVID-19, is one of those events. The world changed just like that! It's as if it happened overnight. Actually, it did. And life as we knew it hasn't been the same.Suddenly, yesterday's freedoms were gone. The freedom to live life uninhibited, without reserve--to laugh, to breathe, to touch, to talk, and move about freely--ended abruptly when "Corona" came. ~ "A Pandemic Response" is a mere reflection of what parents, children, essential workers, teachers, and young adults have endured. It is a realistic view in poetic verse that sums up much of the day-to-day experience of how our world has changed since 2020 began.
