00:00An illness we knew nowt about.
00:02The news was all on China.
00:04A flu-like symptom miles away.
00:07We all assumed was minor.
00:09It spread to every country.
00:12The news was close to home.
00:14Cases doubled daily.
00:16Death tolls sadly rose.
00:18Panic buying started.
00:20Nothing left on shelves.
00:23Selfish greedy bastards.
00:25Thinking of themselves.
00:27Every shop was emptied.
00:29Every shelf left bare.
00:31What about the vulnerable?
00:33Why did they not care?
00:35People have to stay at home.
00:38Time to cap the spread.
00:40Worries hit an all-time low.
00:42Businesses now dead.
00:44Schools have ended.
00:46Lockdown starts.
00:48An eerie feeling.
00:50Worlds apart.
00:51Streets are empty.
00:53Groups are parted.
00:54We finish those jobs.
00:57We forgot we started.
00:59Nurses working round the clock.
01:02Drivers out non-stop.
01:04Friends and neighbors rally round.
01:07So no one is forgot.
01:09Sadness lingers everywhere.
01:11No one wants to grieve.
01:13So please just stay at home through this.
01:16To let this virus leave.
