There are similarities between an event like the pandemic we are going through (or a natural disaster like an earthquake, flood, tsunami, or man-made ones), and death. Most times, people are unaware that they will die, or when.
Not in every way, but that it was totally unexpected, the Corona virus takes the cake. Nobody knows where it will hit next, or how long it will last. Creates empathy for those hit by the Plague or the Spanish Flu, doesn't it?
If you suddenly lost your livelihood, as lakhs did, without warning, how do you cope? Survive? It's tough to imagine what it could do to you, until it happens. (This can also hit the celebs, as depression resulting from a fall in status or lack of work can prove to be fatal to them too)
Hope that a cure or vaccine will save future lives and livelihoods. Medical science will come through, I think, finally. Hope also that it will make humans more human.
