Will the Human race and civilization survive the coronavirus?

I think so, just like the human  race survived all the other plagues and pandemics. It's not always pretty what happens because of mass graves worldwide and whole families sometimes dying from one family member infecting all the others or one of the others. But, some of us will live on beyond all this no matter how many businesses go bankrupt around the world.

I'm less concerned with all this than "Will Civilization and civility survive all this?" more than anything else.

Without compassion for ourselves and our fellow man there is really no need for the human race to survive all this is there?

There has to be a reason to survive and compassion for oneself and others is the hallmark of all truly great civilizations. Everything else is just some sort of lie with people trying to steal your last dime before you die.
