15 MARCH WE WERE ALREADY VIRAL

“MORE VULNERABLE PATIENTS WILL ENTER A SECOND PHASE WHEN THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM OVERREACTS TO THE INFECTION THREATENING THE FUNCTION OF KEY ORGANS”      

CAN ILLNESS BE A METAPHOR?  MAYBE A SIMILE    SYMPTOMATIC OF SOCIETY

AS DESCRIBED ABOVE  PHASE 2 FITS THE FINANCIAL ECONOMY   

TRILLIONS MORE THAN CAN BE REAL   OVERVALUED?  CLOSE THE DEAL  

MATCHES THE HOUSE PRICE BOOM   PRICES RISING  MORE EACH DAY THAN EARNINGS FOR WORKING OUR LIVES AWAY     

OVERREACH  & OVERREACT   THE COPY’S CLOSE  IF NOT EXACT  

‘A SECOND PHASE’ LOOKS A LOT LIKE THE SELFIE OBSESSION  

UPLOADING  ME  MYSELF & I    SUCKED IN DUCK FACE     HYPER-STATED FOR THE CAMERA EYE            

EVEN  SETS THE TONE FOR PANIC BUYING    YARDS OF LOO ROLL   LAKES OF GEL    CASH’N’CARRY PARACETAMOL

IF ILLNESS  WERE  A METAPHOR   WE MUST HAVE BEEN  LIVING THIS VIRUS FOR YEARS                                           

WISHING THE HYPER-REALITY WOULD END                 

YOURS TRULY
