Despite what some old men say, this is not a war. This is a pandemic. The qualities called upon in a pandemic are very different from the behaviors that war requires.
War requires people to kill. Pandemics require people to save lives.
War means caring first for your own army's wounded and not caring, at least at first, about an enemy's wounded. When people are sick in a pandemic, the situation is the opposite. We take care of all sick people, we tend to them, we show compassion. Either out of our faith or out of our self-interest, if we do not want to die with them.
We are not faced with an unseen enemy. We can see the pandemic because we have the eyes to see with.
