I can\u2019t seek his advice anymore to frame (the) corona(virus pandemic), so I am left to the great <i>rabbanim<\/i> to find my way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It seems everyone believes this is a wake-up call, as it\u2019s a worldwide plague and many quote the opinion in the Gemara that before <i>Moshiach<\/i> comes,&nbsp;<i>dever<\/i> will strike the world.
