Amit Majmudar, a radiologist and poet, has written about viruses and pandemics before the novel coronavirus emerged. Some of these poems, Majmudar said, have a "spooky resonance" in 2020.

Majmurdar wrote his poem "Virus," years ago. It's part of his latest poetry collection, "What He Did in Solitary."
