The Coronavirus Pandemic - Health Care Heroes (Part 4) - by Moses
We are seeing Health Care Workers around the world working around the clock treating its' populations by putting their lives on the line day in and day out in treating people that have the virus. These men and women deserve medals for taking a chance with respect to their lives in treating a highly contagious disease. While there are stories that showcase peoples' greed; like those hoarding grocery store supplies for themselves through this crisis, the positives are what I'm focusing on in this article.
When September 11, 2001 came it was the NYPD and NYFD that stepped up to the plate and delivered as heroes. Through this crisis Doctors, Nurses and all other medical personnel have been professional and have saved lives. Period.
It's ironic; the masses look to the rich and famous for answers throughout their lives, yet when a health crisis hits we realize how invaluable having a strong health care system really is (independent of famous actors, famous sports figures, famous personalities and their roles in society). Now that we see all professional sports shut down for the time being we realize that our health really does need to be preserved. When one thinks of the value of a Doctor or Nurse we realize how vulnerable they really are in their day to day jobs, and why we shouldn't take our lives for granted as the death toll has steadily climbed. around the world. Some very high profile people have been stricken with the virus, including Tom Hanks, Prince Charles, and many professional sports athletes, so the class structure on who got hit can't just be attributed to the poor.
Regardless of the politics of the current situation we are still just human - imperfect beings. The only entity that really matters in life or death decisions aside from G-d himself is the Doctor and Nurse team that saves a Coronavirus patient's life at their own risk. If people have the compassion necessary to treat this disease we can hopefully change for the better as people. This time is a true reality check for the common man.
