Maybe it Would Have Been Different
I like adding life to lifeless lives that is why I cannot do without creative writing, because it is a way of touching some hopeless lives
It broke out suddenly
In the 1918 according
To history and killed
About 100 million people
Before it could be
Stopped. As at now
It is yet considered
To be the most
Devastating disease in modern
History because of its
Virulence. It is called
Spanish influenza H1N1 virus
As technology advances with
More insight into many
If not all scientific fields
Diseases are arrested earlier
Assuming what broke out
In Wuhan in December
2019 was to break
Out during this period
It is likely that
Its effect would have
Been wide and perverse
Than what it is now
But for the use
Of technology and internet
The ugly heads of
The disease Covid-19
Are been severed by
Brave men and women
Who are ready to
Lay down their lives
Yea, some have forsooth
Lost their lives in
Ensuring that the menace
Be stopped soon.
The history of the
Pandemic has been changed
From getting close to
That of H1N1 virus
Because of the combinations
Of experts, technology, science,
Internet that this generation
Has been blessed with.

COVI-19 is really scary and I'm hoping a cure is found for it really soon so it doesn't end up having the devastating effect of the Spanish Influenza of 1918.
