Nobody Knows

With the coronavirus circulating the globe, Editor Doreen assigned the Blog Staff to write about “Doomsday.” Luke responds with a poem of sorts.

By Luke Langlois

How long will this quarantine last?

When will coronavirus reach its peak?

How dangerous is the virus to me?

If I get it, will I recover?

Which of these contrasting experts should I listen to?

When will a vaccine be widely available?

Will my family be alright?

Why is our government spending so much money?

Why is our government not spending enough money?

How will history look upon this moment?

Will we get an NBA champion?

Will that mom and pop pizza shop on my corner survive?

Can virtual classes really replace in-person classes?

Will seniors around the world get to step on their campus as students ever again?

Will seniors get to graduate?

How are seniors going to make the right decision without campus visits?

Are colleges going to start on time?

Will those below the poverty line be alright?

Are essential workers getting the support they need?

Will my nation’s economy recover?

Will the world economy recover?

Are we headed to the next Great Depression?

How will the 2020 Election work?

Do I still have a promising future? 

What should I do during quarantine?

Is the world going to be the same when we get out of this?

Is there anyone that can answer these questions?

What is it that we can do? 

This is not doomsday.

There is an end to this tunnel.

Thank your essential workers.

Support your local small businesses.

Keep your hands off your face.

Stay inside.

Stay safe.

Unite

and Endure.
