Someone said in the 1980s or 1990s that 'hypochondria is the only religious enthusiasm of our times'. Since then Muslims showed that that wasn't true but now, even if it isn't the only one, it is still up there. Of course Europe is dying anyway, without the coronavirus. The coronavirus is symbolic, as well as all too real. Decline in belief in life after death makes death much harder for our dying civilisation to bear.
