What did Christians do  when all others ran to hide from great plagues before?

As early as 174 AD Christians ran to help while others just ran and tried to hide away. Individually they suffered great numbers of deaths, but by their testimony, their faith of Yeshua.  Christanity spread rapidly. Through that many were are are still being saved, eternally saved.

That question is one of the few things I remember my Great Grandmother said when I asked her about that.  She smiled and said, "We died gracefully."

Praise God for the wisdom shared by  the women of the generations that preceded our own. They not only live in lowliness and meekness ( Eph 4) they share boldly of our Lord and savior for our eternal benefit. They do so in word and in deed, that we gain in  remembering all the days of our own lives even long after they  have been called home.

Exactly, brother. I'm so thankful and grateful for the opportunity our Lord saw fit to afford me serving some of the most vulnerable people in our society. When the transitional housing shelter for the homeless was shut down multiple times due to outbreaks of COVID-19 among clients and staff, there were some who departed on account of the high risk associated with this endeavor. 

I stood by while my colleagues became infected --- some were hospitalized on ventilators --- and we lost some clients to COVID complications. I was the only member of staff who remained untouched and so I worked long hours, reporting to the VA hospital every seven days to be tested for COVID-19. I had to furnish proof of my continuing immunity to the VA to keep working and serving our clients who were quarantined to their assigned units. Many were sick. 

I made the rounds every hour, maintaining a log of COVID symptoms, temperatures, and supplying their needs as they arose. It was an honor!

Manna for the day at hand,  and two days provison before the  Sabbath, but do not horde seems to be a guideline.

There is no such thing as hoarding when food is plentiful. 

Are you hoarding money by having a bank account?

..."Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, here thou hast that is thine. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents."

Hi, Don't know about that one; there is setting aside for famine  to come which can only be accomplished while food is plentiful. Good planning and perhaps a following of God's instruction for a particular time and then there is keeping secret or hoarding, a selfish mind's goal which  is a mindset seen often enough in times of plenty and also times of scarcity.
