Couple who can't see their baby in NICU hope people take social distancing more seriously; Pure evil: those who want covid-19 to burn through the entire population by ending lockdowns. Some explicitly want to create herd immunity by sacrificing the most vulnerable and helpless by the tens of millions. The arithmetic is trivial, its application insane. Covid-19 mortality might be 2%, maybe less for some, maybe much more, depending on levels of available care, who gets infected, and other issues. 2% of nearly 8 billion people is 160 million deaths, most likely much more than the Black Death/Bubonic Plague, the worst plague in history. Of course, the Plague had a much higher mortality rate, among a much smaller population.
As to evil: The Dhammapada/Way of Truth of the Buddha begins, "All that we are is the result of our thoughts." These Hungry Ghosts and Titan Ashuras think that we should be glad to die to increase their power, glory, and profits, the very thoughts that make them Hungry Ghosts and Ashuras in the first place. We will have to crawl over broken glass, through the flames of these humanmade Hells to prove them wrong.
Karma doesn't wait until you die to manifest. It's who you are, if you don't abandon greed, hatred, and delusion.
