Gil Hoffman reflects on the impact of the coronavirus on the State of Israel and on him personally. While he is currently in the United States and dreading the quarantine he will face upon his return to Israel, he expresses admiration for Israel leading the way in the precautionary measures being taken to prevent the spread of the virus. He speaks about the challenges facing Israel as the “light unto the nations” and how wonderful it would be if Israelis find the cure. He pays tribute to his wife, Jpost.com editor Maayan Hoffman, who has been covering the coronavirus while holding down the fort back home.
