Suppress Corona-viruses by Reading the Bible as It has a Soul
On a TV display or screen, we can see everything that can be displayed as we see real things. But, it disappears when we cut off the power supply. The TV set functions based on electricity, decoding electric signals to restore original images carried by electric signals. Our brain works as if it were a kind of TV set.
No chemical compounds, molecules, atoms and any other substances making our brains include our mind. So, our mind is not material. It is an electromagnetic phenomenon generated by those substances or materials such as nerves, cells, chemical compounds, molecules, atoms, etc.
Therefore, our mind disappears when our body made of nerves, cells, chemical compounds, etc. stops biologically functioning and working as we die. It is just like a TV set is turned off. Like nothing is displayed on a TV screen when powered off, nothing works as our mind in the brain when we die. So, some people say that there is nothing for us when we die.
However, the people of the past found something called souls in men through their observation of living and dead men. Our minds disappear as our bodies die, but our souls survive. Every human religion is based on this notion.
And, some people think that not only human beings but also every living thing has its mind and soul:
Animism is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Animism is used in the anthropology of religion as a term for the belief system of many indigenous peoples, especially in contrast to the relatively more recent development of organised religions. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animism)Even some Japanese of the past found a spirit in a human action. This notion led to various cultural trainings and arts such as Japanese art of self-defense (Judo), Japanese art of fencing (Kendo), the tea ceremony (Sado), the art of flower arrangement (Kado), etc.
Therefore every living thing in our material world must have a soul that is connected to another world that should be called the spiritual world, although the mankind has its own spiritual world and every other living thing has its own spiritual world. In other words, the God gives a human soul to a human being and other types of souls to other living things.
Our mind is an electromagnetic phenomenon generated in our brain, which disappears as our body dies and our brain dies. But, our mind has a soul. And the God is spirit:
John 4
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
The God is not a biologically living thing, but the God exists and lives as a spirit. Therefore we can live as a spirit but not only as a biologically living thing. When our mind dies as our body dies, our soul should take over our self consciousness from our dying mind. And our soul should enter the spiritual world where the God and other various spirits live. But, our soul might die even in the spiritual world if the God does not give eternal life. Christianity is concerned with this fate of souls.

Matthew 3, King James Version
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
