First it came for the Chinese...

First it came for the Chinese, and I did not take care of my hand hygiene at every opportunity-

   Because I was not Chinese.


Then it came for the South Koreans, and I did not distance myself socially and stop visiting bars-

   Because I was not South Korean.


Then it came for the Italians, and I did not lock everything down and shelter in place-

   Because I was not Italian.


And then it came for me-

   And there was no-one left to do anything and nothing left to do but wait...
