CH 9: The power of selflessness

As I was swirling around the globe, healthcare workers were on their toes, displaying a degree of dedication, commitment, and tenacity that puts me to shame. While I had to do nothing in particular to affect the people I infected, these warriors worked relentlessly day and night, continually putting themselves in  harm’s way to make a positive difference for individuals clinging to life or suffering in isolation. While their own loved ones felt anguish and anxiety as they were busy saving lives, the loved ones of patients found hope and solace in the selfless act of these superhumans.

What can be a greater act of sacrifice than putting one’s own life on the line to save the life of another? These frontline healthcare workers and I may have been on opposite sides of the fence, but I salute them for their humanity and courage. If the difficulties I created have been challenging beyond measure, then the selfless acts of sacrifice they have shown have been inspiring beyond words.
