A query not by necessity in that order, class
but you are well advised to pay attention.
The what remains uncertain beyond it being
a zoonotic leaping from animal to human.
Where it emerged is well known but one is
not to place blame on its point of origin lest
one give offence to a powerful political regime.
When it emerged alerting medical professionals
to the presence of a new, raging threat to global
health prompting them to inform their peers
their voices were stilled under threat. And
because we live in an interconnected world
of globalism where social movement and trade
tourism and business intersect to profit the
world economy, transmission of a little-understood
and often deadly pathogen was achieved. Into the
fray stepped the prestigious world body dedicated
to global health declaring the newly-revealed
threat non-communicable from human-to-human
and no reason to commit a racist act by closing
international borders to China. Now the global
community reels under a contagion refusing
control, asserting and reasserting itself. All
things considered whether the SARS-CoV-19
novel coronavirus emerged from a highly
secret experimental biological-threat laboratory
in Wuhan or from a notorious wet market can
be assumed to be irrelevant as the world implodes.
