That's how it is in life, Macoleco: things don't always go according to your plans. Especially now when lots of people are waiting, kids not going to school and have put their lives on hold.
I mean be happy that you know how to stay alive. When I just remember the flu epidemics back in 1917 and just take those three kids in Fatima who claimed to have seen the virgin - two of those three kids died shortly after the vision from the flu because nobody warned them to be in quarantine, not even the virgin Mary. So be thankful that you didn't go the way of those poor Fatima kids and that you are actually doing the right thing.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
