Infect, a word that spreads like fire,
History holds tales that will never expire,
Plagues and sickness, swept through the land,
Devastation followed, a merciless hand.Quarantine, a term that's now common,
Back then, isolation was the solemn,
Infect, a word that still haunts today,
A reminder that nature has its way.***
