Good evening,
Esther’s fast and fear of Corona, did they both go together?
Kind regards, Benjamin

What I mean about fasting, supposedly there is no fasting because of the pandemic?
Why not?
Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim, Section 14, Halacha 6; and in the commentary on Halacha, there is a place for the sick.
Benjamin, is this what you meant by the question, “They both went together,” or is this a later interpretation of the question?
That's what I meant, I'm backing away from the poetic style.
Benjamin, I assumed that's what you meant, and I still repeat: Why not?
Impairment of the immune system in patients, of course not everyone is sick, but we have not ruled out the possibility of illness, this is an epidemic.
I get the instructions on what to do in such situations from the doctor and not from the halacha. So far, I have not heard such a warning, especially since the danger here is very small.
On the Fast of Esther 5750
And to Benjamin he said
To your question, our father Jacob answered in his blessing to Benjamin:
In the morning he will eat until the pillar of dawn rises
And in the evening, after the stars appear, he will divide the spoils
With a blessing, Samson to the Tz
There is a fundamental connection between ‘Esther’ and ’Coruna’. ‘Coruna’ is the wife of ‘Karahu, son of the son of Karahu’, and when properly considered – the difference between ‘Esther’ For ’Corona’. Therefore, it is appropriate for you to drink before dawn until you are unconscious, and then you will be able to fast without conflict between Esther and Corona’ 🙂
A) This is a pandemic, so the danger is very great!
B) I did receive instructions from the doctor after asking, and I am acting on them. Is it any wonder that almost no one asks (doctors, not rabbis)?
I don't think the danger is great. If there is a medical order, then of course one should not fast. I have not heard of such an order. Of course, it is desirable to have a doctor who will not just insist on not fasting.
Contrary to Benjamin's words, the World Health Organization has for now refrained from defining the outbreak as a pandemic.
In what Ramada advised to ask a God-fearing doctor, it should be noted that Rav Kook had already explained in Ein Ai that a great man is more God-fearing than a man who enjoys his income. If so, one should ask a private doctor who makes a good living from his income, and not a doctor employed by a health insurance company whose income is meager.
And it is best to arrange a home visit, since walking on the street in public is considered a terrible danger, both because of the plague and the fear of barking dogs, and who allowed the questioner to leave his home to go to the clinic? Even the large fee that the doctor will receive for the home visit will make him a great “god-fearer.”

Maybe the doctor was afraid to allow you to fast for fear that you would be documented and sue him for medical malpractice. And regarding your question about the Haredim's fear of dogs, I think you can get a sense of what they feel at the following link:

Benjamin, today they announced. Two days ago they avoided announcing (deliberately avoided).
Declaring a pandemic is an exceptional step with significant consequences and is avoided as long as there is hope that the situation will not get out of control.
You brought the latter forward.
On the eve of Purim, Shushan 2017
The eyes of the ‘World Health Organization’ are fixed on the blog for thinking people ‘Rabbi Michael Avraham –Responses and Essays’, where Torah and science, philosophy and physics have come together, and from there the organization's experts are deciding how to act.
We went on high alert when we saw Rabbi Binyamin Gorlin's wise question about the coronavirus during the Fast of Esther, and the conclusive proof from the ’Biyaur Halacha’, and we immediately gathered and decided that the coronavirus should be treated as a pandemic, and who is the man who wants to escape from Covid and go and return to his home, as it is written: ‘A man for the tents of Israel’.
And now that Rabbi Gorlin Shlita has raised the fiery words of the French thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau against the corruptions of European civilization, the concentration in cities and the distance from nature, the competitiveness and the achievements - we have decreed with force to ban all public gatherings in closed places.
There is nothing as healthy as a return to nature, and therefore we warn, following Rousseau, that even in academic institutions it is permissible and desirable to walk on the lawns in small groups, but God forbid, to enter crowded lectures, especially before lecturers over the age of fifty, and certainly to avoid exams that lead to tension and pressure and competitive achievement,
And also to avoid submitting academic papers, in which the supervisor stands over the student and does not allow him to say a single word of his own without it being backed up by quotes from authoritative sources, so that God forbid the student will not be able to come up with any independent thought.
Likewise, schools where students are pressured to take achievement exams should be avoided. The best thing is to send students to a Haredi yeshiva, where most of the time they study in self-study pairs, the lessons are only once a day and another general lesson a week, and there is no pressure of the store and grades. As long as they do their studies in the yard.
These are the guidelines of the World Health Organization at this stage!
