Coping with Corona from a Torah Perspective

This story of the Tower of Babel has long intrigued scholars and historians alike who have even gone so far as attempt to locate its exact location in Iraq. What exactly was their crime? Why was G-d upset with the idea of people constructing a united city and tower?&nbsp; 

A strange passage in Talmud tells us what happened to the Tower. A third of it was burnt; a third of it was submerged in the earth; and a third of it remains intact till this very day.

But why? Why did it happen that way? And what is the lesson here?

There are three explanations for the sin behind the Tower: it was a war against G-d; it was the first communist totalitarian regime; it replaced G-d with science. The first dimension has been destroyed from the consciousness of civilization. The second is submerged in the earth and occasionally rears its ugly head. The third aspect is alive and well.
