Great poem! You have found a different angle on the virus crisis. How will this distancing and isolation affect us? You have raised some interesting ideas!

Interesting dilemma, well

Posted on Wed, 01 Apr 2020

Interesting dilemma, well explained. Policies will vary, but in today's circumstances it does seem safer to wear a mask, for the protection of ourselves, and others. I don't have a mask myself (yet) but it does seem sensible for many situations....

In my opinion this is a really good poem about the issues, particularly the social isolation/distancing and discipline issues, brought up by the coronovirus crisis. You say so much which is really relevant, and have some interesting perspectives...
