The face of selfishness in the face of other people’s deaths

 This is a quote from an article in the New York Times article 

“A ‘Terrifying’ Coronavirus Surge Will Land in Biden’s Lap”

“Kathleen Skeins, a travel agent outside Detroit, used to be busy planning all-inclusive trips abroad for her clients. Now, she said, she is among the many business owners in America who are ‘barely starting to get back on their feet.’ 

‘We’ve already had so many people that have lost their dreams in the first shutdown,” said Ms. Skeins, 51, who said she cast her first ballot in about 30 years last week, and voted for Mr. Trump. While she doesn’t take the virus lightly, she said, she remains firmly opposed to any restrictions that could hurt her business.

“The virus is never going to go away,” she said. “It’s just a part of our lives.’”

My take on this:

I’m thinking that this emergency is a testing ground for character, kindness, unselfish fellow feeling, and, yes, Christian values.  Nothing else can convince me that it’s anything less.  

We are being tested, our love and our character are being tested.  Travel is the way this spread all over the globe so rapidly.  And my guess is that Ms. Skeins is not tracking cases of covid19 picked up by her clients and passed onto their unsuspecting co-workers, or their families.
