There will be a new drive for survivors of this pandemic to shun arrogance and pride, humbling themselves to turn to their Creator, God; giving Him His rightful place in their lives, their affairs, allowing Him to rule in the affairs of men; worshiping Him in truth and spirit. The worship of men, money and material wealth has failed this present world woefully.
