DON'T PANIC STATISTIC
'Don't Panic '
Have you heard that perpetually?
And when exactly was it
That you were behaving panicky?
Yeah, I bought pasta
And a couple of brands - no-name
I did not do the trolley-dash
The long queues outside GAME
'Don't Panic '
Have you heard that perpetually?
And when exactly was it
That you were behaving panicky?
Yeah, I bought pasta
And a couple of brands - no-name
I did not do the trolley-dash
The long queues outside GAME
And I watched work and especially money
disappear
Yes, with alarm, but I don't consider it panicking, nothing even near
Though when observing the strident protest
About what's economically best
I'm to accept the idea of a future of 350
And let it calm me into

understanding my situation is not a priority?
Most disconcerting
This idea with which we've stopped flirting
And now worldwide to our thinking apply
This shift in focus and a solidly backed-up reason why

The policy of 'harm reduction'
Because we're losing
Focusing on the survivors
And ameliorate the numbers with the interpretation of your choosing
The measuring of tolls
Of other large-scale epidemics
While in the same breath affirming
The uniqueness of this pandemic

And no answer for how the 'densely-populated' and the 'under-resourced' are victimized by corona more
The 'quality' of survival in response is core
A resignation about death knocking on some other door

There'll be 'hit squads' soon, and 'hotspots' cordoned off in such a way
To ensure that the virus can be contained, blocked off, and have its way , they say
To ensure that the virus can be contained, blocked off, and have its way , they say
And try and argue then about what seems fair and right
About your existence being measured by its impact on the survivors' plight
In all of this what mostly bothers
Is this normalizing of the mass death of others
That primary concern has shifted from battling this pandemic

And YOUR concern should be not to panic, even though you're probably a likely statistic
I care not for the justifications you've got
In my book, more than 300 000 deaths worldwide is a lot
And whilst that might be cause for panic
I agree don't do it

But you don't overcome insurmountable odds, by just flinching through it
And again, if needed how the lockdown is not like apartheid
In apartheid one of the key concerns was the death-rate

NB
Of course you can contradict this, when is world-view ever joint
But this supposed calm acceptance of inevitability is not it
That's my point
