Novel coronavirus. Travelers in motion. Spewing the virus. One fervent hope in danger of being dashed. Undocumented carriers. 86% of all infections. These people are the major drivers. The ones who facilitated the spread. Unseen transmission. Unseen spread. Much harder to stomp. The longer the period of silent viral shedding, the more difficult it is to control the outbreak. Containment is nearly not possible.

Undocumented Carriers (A Found Poem from Melissa Healy’s Article, “How ‘silent spreaders’ are fueling the coronavirus pandemic” published in the Los Angeles Times on March 17, 2020)
