San Antonio Spurs Legend Tim Duncan is doing his best bit to lend a helping hand to the people who have been affected by the current coronavirus pandemic. For his part, the US Virgin Island native is helping out his fellow countrymen who have been left stranded by the lockdowns that have been implemented of late.  This is via The Virgin Islands Consortium.

Mr. Duncan along with Silver Airways partnered on the effort in a move to unite families during the national crisis caused by the coronavirus — the deadly pathogen that causes the Covid-19 disease — without creating another financial burden on families, the release said.

There are probably just a few things that are more difficult than having to be separated from your own family during these trying times. Not being with your loved ones and not knowing how they're coping with the difficulties brought about by this global health threat will surely take its toll on any individual. Duncan understands this, and he also knows that a good number of his compatriots are suffering this very fate.

It's great to hear that the former Spurs franchise player has decided to use his own personal resources to do his share in helping others in their time of need. And while not all of us have a foundation or the resources to perform such a noble act, we can still help out by simply staying home. This is a pretty straightforward act that we are all capable of doing, and it is actually going to be our best weapon against this pandemic.
