There seems to be an issue
With bad connotations regarding COVID
And the image it presents when people do the things the need to do to avoid it.
But nobody complains about the bad connotations by officials
Who are doing what they need to do to avoid admitting COVID exists.

#YellowFeverPsalm, music by #JocelynPook, poetry by #JamesStanleyGilbert (d.1906):

You are going to have the fever
Yellow eyes!
In about ten days from now
Iron bands will clamp your brow;
Your tongue resemble curdled cream
A rusty streak the centre seam;
Your mouth will taste of untold things
With claws and horns and fins and wings;
Your head will weigh a ton or more
And forty gales within it roar!
