Disasters are terrible, of course, but one silver lining is the selflessness demonstrated by many people including health-care workers risking their lives, volunteers stepping up to support essential services and millions of people giving generously to help those in need. The headlines may be full of partisan sniping, but more people are likely to be helping out than pointing fingers.
One example is the Bloomberg March Madness Brackets for a Cause annual challenge, in which Wall Street and business leaders contribute $10,000 each to charities chosen by the winner of an NCAA basketball bracket contest. This year, with no brackets to contest, participants are increasing their donations to $25,000 each for to-be-determined coronavirus relief.
