Letter from HaRav Chaim Kanievsky shlita About the Coronva Outbreak On Friday morning 17 Adar there appeared on the front page of Yated Ne'eman in Bnei Brak the following letter about the Corona outbreak with the recommendations of HaRav Chaim Kanievsky for being protected from it.
In the Amidah of Minchah on Shabbos: "A menuchoh of love and nedovoh, a menuchoh of emes and emunah. ... A wholesome menuchoh that You desire, so that your children will recognize and know that their menuchoh is from You, and through their menuchoh they will sanctify Your Name." HaRav Avrohom Yitzchok Barzel zt"l said that this refers to the two parts of menuchoh to which Rashi in our parsha (Ki Siso) refers: And on the Seventh day he rested and relaxed. This refers to a menuchoh that is solid and not temporary which is referred to as "a menuchoh of love..." and also a menuchoh that comes from preserving the kedushoh and sanctifying His Name: "...and through their menuchoh they will sanctify Your Name."
That morning, melancholy prevailed in Telz. The main hall of the yeshiva, which had in better days bustled with the verve of Torah, was now enveloped in gloom. R' Leizer, the yeshiva's captain and backbone, paced the room, deep in thought. His arms, which had always instilled the yeshiva with life, were now stretched out, as if seeking to shatter a hidden and refuted point. This was the most difficult hour of the long-suffering Telz. Its champion and pride, R' Shimon HaCohen Shkop, had recently left in order to preside as Rav of Maltsh, and every brick of the yeshiva's illustrious edifice felt his absence. An alarmed letter was dispatched from R' Eliezer's room to distant Ponovezh, where R' Itzeleh Rabinowitz, the lion whose very name shook the foundations of the entire Lithuanian Torah world, lived. In that letter, R' Leizer pleaded, in the name of the Torah of his great yeshiva, which was now in distress, to come to Telz and revive its spirits. R' Leizer intended to forego his position as rosh yeshiva, in deference to R' Itzeleh. R' Itzeleh contemplated the offer and accepted it.
 Part V There are also sources in Chazal that say that important parts of life are dependent on mazal and not on zchus. One point is that Hashem does not forgo sins so that our reward will be complete. To ignore any sin would cast a severe pall over one's reward in the World of Truth. Also, Hashem established two ways of conducting the world: for those who can meet the high standard He employs the middas hadin as He "originally" thought in making the world, and for those who cannot meet this standard he uses a middas horachamim that is more lenient. In this part the Mashgiach zt'l explains, among other matters, the correlation between reward and punishment and mazal, and the tikkun of gilgul. * * * Each Person's Special Duty in Completing the Creation and the Reason These Duties are Not Made Known to the Creations The Ramchal writes further (ibid.): "The neshomoh said: According to this argument it would have been fitting for only tzaddikim to suffer, but the reality is not so." We will cite what the Ramchal wrote in Derech Hashem (2:3:1) about each person's duty assigned to him in Olom Hazeh:
