“An equal-opportunity epidemic, the virus indiscriminately attacks open and closed societies, autocracies and democracies, countries,

“President Me. Actually, I am no match for the microbe now leading the charge against us. Shall we presciently, see, in time that the deadly

“The CDC now warns that the coronavirus will spread to communities in US. An outbreak in Italy, the worst — outside Asia,

“I am no match for this microbe; in cunning and formlessness. Shall we see, in time, that in the coronavirus lies — an opportunity,
unprecedented? In soirée last night Bruce Lee himself, reminded us; if it attacks like water, to defeat it, like water, be.”
