 *DON'T CURSE THE CORONAVIRUS*


It has brought back humanity.

Brought back people to their Creator and to their morals.

It closed down bars, night clubs, brothels, casinos

It brought down interest rates

Brought families together

Stopped lewd behaviour

It has stopped people eating dead and forbidden animals

So far it has moved one third of military expenditure to health care.

Arab countries have banned shushes.

It undermines dictators and their powers

Humans are now worshipping God rather than progress and technology    

It is forcing authorities to look at its prisons and prisoners

It has taught humans how to Sneeze, Yawn and Cough.

Coronavirus is now making us stay at home,  Living simple lives and thanking God for waking us up to reality and to giving us an opportunity to ask Him for His forgiveness and His help.

 There is a great lesson in this for those who are wise.
