But now it's epidemiology that's behind the headlines
His mission was selling products that make you healthier
But sadly his tainted breath made him a superspreader
The virus keeps causing sheer pandemonium
By changing humanity's curriculum
Asymptomatic transmission is a tough problem to solve, on its face
In retrospect, they searched for close contacts to track and trace
Remember, the postman always rings twice
Opening your door is a roll of the dice
Wear a mask, it's your duty of care
The moral of the story: buyer beware
After: Covid-19 'superspreader' in northeast China linked to 102 infections
The Traveling Salesman, a playlist
A soundtrack for this note (spotify version)
- Travelin' Girl by Dwele
The live versions are essential, that tour where the horns were featured made this essential. - Traveling Miles by Cassandra Wilson
- Buyer Beware by Jorrel & Bekka
- Beware by Punjabi MC ft. Jay-Z
I'm quite partial to the original version, Beware of the Boys featuring Twista, but no one has ever won an argument over commerce where Jay-Z was involved
