This is an illness of love. But this illness began not from an external contagion, but from inside, it began from the way of thinking that put oneself's needs and desires above the needs and desires of others. It began from the virus of a love based on a selfish motivation and developed into the full-blown flu through our lifestyle and now has become a worldwide pandemic manifested in wars, poverty, racism, greed, and a general societal breakdown.
Where is the antidote to this deadly virus? The flu will need to run its course to burn away the remnants of the deadly virus of our self-centered nature, yet once it has, the immunization will be a dedication and commitment to the way of life of sacrificing one's one needs and desires for the sake of benefiting others, even at the risk of one's life. This change of heart will restore humanity back to its original state of health and prosperity.
