Maine Writer opinion- A preventable divisive response to the coronavirus pandemic is giving evil an opportunity to put greed before "creed". Evil protestors who want to "liberate states" from protective public health directives are putting greed ahead of the human condition. It is the work of evil to obstruct the human condition in the face of the essential need for a spiritual and public health response, to save as many lives as a universal effort can achieve.  "Pray More": Check this article in The New Yorker, by Ian Frazier.
