'I know, as a matter of fact, that nobody dies before his appointed date; that the Almighty does not commit errors; that there is no after-thought in the divine scheme.' Opinion Death Covid19

He actually said goodbye to his employers- the National Health Service . But he could not say bye to his profession; he could not hang his stethoscope. He knew he had retired; he equally knew he was not tired. Thus, he volunteered to add life to life in this time of coronavirus pandemic even after forty years of meritorious service. He therefore went into the battle against COVID-19. He eventually answered the divine call to celestial reward, not service anymore.

I was moved by the images I saw couple of days ago of a ward in New York that was full of COVID-19 patients. While the doctors and nurses were busy battling to resuscitate a patient, I saw a cleaner who was dutifully busy mopping the floor, trying to ensure that the hospital was free of pathogens and bugs. I knew that she would probably not and never be celebrated. But I equally knew that she was running the same risk like the medics and the nurses. She was equally on the battlefront.

Now I find this question very pertinent- exactly what is sweeter than life? Probably nothing. Now this – exactly what could be sourer than death? I say: life in hell.
