Someone asked Rabbi Zev Smith (at the past Chal Hamoed Pesach Shiur) if the corona situation has anything to do with the coming of moshiach. He cleverly replied "I don't know... - But I do know that it can help bring Moshiach if we use the opportunity to do chesed and improve to become close to Hashem."

If someone is struggling with tests and challenges and feels that it is too much for him, he should remind himself that the days of Moshiach are coming very soon when there will be no more challenges and he will wish then that he utilized the opportunity that he was given now. The greater our performance is here, the greater our lives will be forever. The time to act is now because then it might be too late.

What are some good ideas of big mitzvos and great chesed that can be done in the current situation?
