Quarantine

Overreaction now would be ideal;
We would like nothing more than to be told,
Some days or months from now, that many feel
We didn't need to do this. If the old,
The ill, and the infirm are to survive
We need to be aggressive. We may look
Like fools, but know: if they are still alive
It's worth it, even if you think we took
Precautions that weren't needed. We can't know
Until the end what ought to have been done;
All that we can do is try to slow
Progression. And you can't please everyone.
The chance of saving lives must matter more
Than anything, and that's what this is for.
