What is the remedy for plagues which have no human curative solution?

God's answer to the question ...

 And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.  If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from  their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven , and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chron. 7:12-14.

Locust Swarms: China launches huge fightback against Biblical plague which began in Africa

CHINA has launched a huge fightback against a swarm of locusts of "biblical proportions" which has now seen Pakistan declare a state of emergency.

The Middle Eastern country became the latest victim of a swarm of locusts that have wreaked havoc across East Africa for weeks, endangering economies in a region heavily dependent on agriculture for food security. Heavy rains and cyclones last year sparked unprecedented breeding and the explosive growth of locust populations on the Arabian peninsula, according to the United Nations. The pests have since fanned out and attacked India, before making their way into Pakistan from the desert on the country's southwestern border with Iran.

Headlines from FOX on Coronavirus

A new study suggests that the novel coronavirus COVID-19 can remain in the air for up to three hours, and live on surfaces such as plastic and stainless steel for up to three days.
The research, published in the medRxiv depository, also notes that the virus can remain on copper surfaces for four hours and carboard for up to 24 hours. The research found it could stay on stainless steel and plastic for anywhere between two and three days.
"Our results indicate that aerosol and fomite transmission of HCoV-19 is plausible, as the virus can remain viable in aerosols for multiple hours and on surfaces up to days," the researchers wrote in the study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed.
Another study published in February concluded that if COVID-19 is similar to other coronaviruses, such as SARS or MERS, it could live on surfaces like metal, glass and plastic for up to nine days, Fox News previously reported. By comparison, the flu virus can only live on surfaces for approximately 48 hours.
That study, published in the Journal of Hospital Infection, suggested that     coronaviruses could be "efficiently inactivated" with disinfectants that contain "62–71 percent ethanol, 0.5 percent hydrogen peroxide or 0.1 percent sodium hypochlorite within 1 minute,"     adding that other agents that contain "0.05–0.2% benzalkonium chloride or 0.02 percent chlorhexidine digluconate are less effective."
Currently, there is no specific medicine to cure or treat COVID-19.
More than 127,000 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed globally, including over 80,000 in China and 1,323 in the U.S., according to the latest data. (As of March 12).

My Comment: 
All the elements in hand disinfectant have suddenly become in very short supply, including rubbing alcohol and all forms of disinfectant. Ethanol is basically rubbing alcohol.  Most of us have some in our homes already. It may be mixed with gel, or a little oil or fragrance but do not mix it with other chemicals if you do not know the dangers. They are great.

I believe God expects us to deal with our earthly problems, hunger, sickness, wounds, locusts, pestilence and all kinds of obstacles. I don't think God deals with such things for us which we can deal with ourselves, to the best of our ability.  I also believe that when we have done our best, He will do the rest, if we trust Him. Do your best and trust God with the rest ... and then, yes, rest. No one can do more than that. RB

Jesus promised us ...
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."  Matt. 11:28.
