    I love your question. (And I may keep coming back with answers, I don't know.)

    For some reason, after reading your question, I went to my favorite R.E.M. album, "Around the Sun." 

    And one of the songs fits for my answer: 

     "Make It All Okay"







     I really like R.E.M. and "Around the Sun" is by FAR, my favorite R.E.M. album And, wouldn't you know -- I've heard and read in various places that many, many people and critics find "Around the Sun" potentially their worst album. I shake my head. But I don't really care. Ha! It's their best for me!
    :)

    As I observe -- socially-distanced, yes,  and most of the time with a mask in public places with people  :)  --  yes, as I observe and read and listen to the world's people around me as they deal with it :


    "MMM MMM MMM MMM"      Crash Test Dummies


    Besides the title, even what I see as the the spirit of the song fits part of my opinion of COVID-19

    Yup, I love the song (and the music video, too).

    "What Have I Done to Deserve This" - The Pet Shop Boys

    This is for the currently infected, for the people fighting.




    "Big Big World" - Emilia

    This is for those we've lost 




    "I'm Still Standing" - Elton John

    For those who beat it! :D

    I really like Pet Shop Boys. The version of this song I know has Dusty Springfield singing with them but this singer in your video is great, too!

    I like your answer a lot. Moving.

    What's that all about? The song is "I Hate Everything About You." I can't imagine what there is to like about COVID.

    Oh. Oops.

    I took the word “you” to mean you’re referring to a person, not the virus. Now I understand. 


    Sorry!
