Pingdemic Pandemonium

A new problem and concern 
is spreading fast across our nation  
it is the great pingdemic 
causing disruption and irritation 

You can catch it from an app
which tracks and traces those affected
It tells you to isolate 
if you’re at risk of being infected 

You must stay home if pinged
it does not matter if you feel well
You could now have coronavirus 
until tested you can not tell 

There are so many people 
being pinged into isolation 
There is not enough staff free
to man the airports and train stations

As we approach freedom day
soon free to travel across the lands
Pingdemic pandemomium 
could now affect all our future plans

Thanks for the like Holden.
MC it relates to a news story about there not being enough staff to man the airports and train stations due to so many being pinged by the track and trace app. Maybe your dentist had suffered with the same difficulties ?

Is this related to the ray gun at my forehead and the hand gel I
receive from the assistant at the dental practice I use? How
quickly we get used to strange invasive practices.

I love 'Pingdemic pandemonium'. The turn of phrase, of course, not the phenomenon itself.
