God's Glory Shown through the Corona-Pandemic
A certain Japanese medical doctor realized one day that some patients were cured mysteriously and spontaneously while most of others were not.
He observed his patents carefully to find that there were some specific patterns in their mind sets of those who recovered well and regained health even from cancer diseases.
The first type of such patients was of forgetting their diseases. The second type was of busy doing their favorite things, and the third type was of caring for others more than themselves.
The common feature among them was that they did not get depressed, worry about progress of their diseases, and get overwhelmed by fear of going into more serious states or death. In other words, they were not under pressure or stress physically or psychologically.
It means that their balance between sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves was well kept so that their immunity was at a high level. For example, it is medically and scientifically proved that laughing enhances one's immunity, and positive thinking people are less prone to falling in diseases.
Although we cannot easily control our bodies and physical conditions against diseases trough our thinking, wishing, or hoping, it can be well understood that when we feel joy, happiness, or bliss, we feel some power springing from the inside of our bodies. Our autonomous nerve systems controlling inside physical conditions, such as immunity, are closely linked to brain nerves that can be activated by our emotion.
Some religious disciplinants train themselves to control their emotion or expression of emotion. They even try to observe movement and states of their minds. And they will try to access psychologically the God in the case of Christianity or completely empty their minds in the case of Buddhism. In other words, they are purifying their minds to discover an ultimate level of joy or complete calmness in the minds. In either case, their autonomous nerve systems must be set to ideal conditions for human beings who are living things.
Indeed, Christ Jesus said that those who tried to save their life for themselves would be perished and lose their life, but those who abandoned their life for the sake of Christ Jesus or the God would regain their life and even get eternal life.
Finally, to conquer corona-viruses, we had better forget about presence of the viruses, concentrate on what we should do, cooperate in saving others, the society, and the world, or pray to Christ Jesus or the God so that He would show their glory through the corona-pandemic.

Mark 8 King James Version17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
