In an era of the pandemic, we are seeing that there are people demonstrating great acts of kindness and sacrifice, sometimes to the point of death. But, sadly, we have also so a level of greed and selfishness not witnessed in many of our lifetimes. The callousness of nursing homes being absolved of responsibility for the lack of caring for its residents, the trillions of dollars intended for the people being stolen by those without financial need, etc. This story reminds us that avarice is not just a condition, it is a virus.
