When this is over, there will be a list of heroes who helped make this less bad than it could have been. A lot of scientists are going to be on that list - including Dr. Chu, the people who sequenced and characterized the virus, the people who developed medications and vaccines, etc. Some will be governors and mayors and health directors who also defied the national government to take stronger measures than that government was recommending. Still others will be doctors and epidemiologists on the front lines, physical therapists helping people recover, industrial engineers and logistics specialists who increase supply of necessities, etc.
I regret that I don't know many of the names, even those who have already made noteworthy contributions. (Feel free to add some.) My real point is that, as we stew in our collective fear/anxiety, we should also take solace in the fact that this situation is also bringing out the absolute best in a great many people. Think of them.
