Worldwide panic has taken hold
Due to the Corona Vrus (from what I’m told)
In real time we’re seeing it unfold
And tickets to Cancun can’t be sold
People are afraid to go anywhere
Whether it’s irrational they choose to err
On the side of caution rather than go there
Although it ain’t just Mexico to be fair

You can catch it in a lotta places
So try to avoid confined spaces
Somebody sneezes (there goes a hundred more cases)
And you may be the one that the virus chases


But there are precautions you can take
Wash your hands frequently (and for heaven’s sake)
Don’t touch your mouth after a handshake
By all means avoid making that mistake
These are simple things that you can do
In an effort to avoid the Corona Virus or any Flu
Although it’s simple it’s no less true
And now that you know it’s on you - cos

You can catch it in a lotta places
So try to avoid confined spaces
Somebody sneezes (there goes a hundred more cases)
And you may be the one that the flu bug chases


Worldwide panic has taken hold
Despite the quick responses
From the governments polled
And the measures they’ve taken
That have been quite bold
To bring their countries back in the fold
You can catch it in a lotta places
So try to avoid confined spaces
Somebody sneezes (there goes a hundred more cases)
And you may be the one that the flu bug chases

Seems it’s even worst
Than it at first appeared
Which was the main thing
All those governments feared
Is it any wonder panic has set in
Look at everywhere (that the Corona Virus has  been)
Then say a silent prayer
Can I hear an amen

But there are precautions you can take
Wash your hands frequently (and for heaven’s sake)
Don’t touch your mouth after a handshake
By all means avoid making that mistake
These are simple things that you can do
In an effort to avoid the Swine or any Flu

Worldwide Panic are song lyrics that I wrote in 2009  about the Swine Flew. but it could have been about the Corona Virus.
