I have decided to adopt a positive

Outlook regarding the virus

I will treat it like a computer game where I am the hero.

I will thread my way through labyrinths of germ-laden traps

Step carefully to avoid poisonous foes

And slay enemies with disinfectant swords

Buy items for my protection, truckloads of weapons and armor

And grow more powerful each day as I

Accumulate treasure.

At the end of the game

When I have survived all tribulations and surmounted all challenges

I will rescue the Princess, and not surprisingly

This time around, in

This particular game

I am both princess and hero.
