Default How is the Virus Affecting You?

Certainly does seem this covid has a mind of its own. Foreknowledge to avoid protests, riots, Home Depot, Lowe's, Kroger, Safeway, casinos, etc. As it comes to businesses of sole proprietors, restaurant chains, churches, mosques, GOP rallies, that's when people get infected.
If masks are so effective, we as a society should be forgoing seasonal flu shots in favor of masks.
Yes we are like sheep until we wake up. Meaning no longer believing news reports. In that sense the mainstream media and LSM are very similar: I do not believe what I am told.
Amen to your word of encouragement:
"In the world you will have tribulation. But fear not and be of good cheer for I have overcome this world!"

Three cheers for John MacArthur who is standing up and proclaiming that the Governor of my state, California, has no right to dictate, to control the church.
Gov. Newsom would have the church and church practices under state control. Mr. MacArthur rightly proclaims that under the constitution, the state has NO right to dictate church practices.
Christian Lives Matter, I’m so glad a church leader finally stood up and says Newsom, get your knee off our necks! I would that all of Gods people were so clear and bold.

I saw that. Gov Newsom changes his tune depending on the situation. Yet Lowe's and Home Depot, not a problem. The winery Gov Newsom has a ownership stake in, not a problem.
I was at Costco yesterday in Fontana, Ca. Sure entrance was regulated, but those waiting to go inside, it was as if everything returned to normal. No social distancing, but wearing masks. How is it that cannot be done in churches?

No one has the right to be a Typhoid Mary, Christian or not. And the governor has the constitutional right to protect his citizens.

Awareness, this virus has had a serious effect on your thinking.

Constitutional rights are legislated by an elected body, not mandated by tyrranical governors.

Well it's had the same affect on Trump defender Alan Dershowitz, who made the claim that governors have a constitutional right.

So Dershowitz "trumps" the constitution?

The real question is whether Dershowitz was on Epstein's island and private jet.

Our leading ones just sent out an email with a link to John MacArthur, telling what his group's stance is regarding the California governor's edict for churches not to meet. The elders said what John stated is fairly representative of their thoughts as well.

Like Ohio, with his gross malignant religious bias, is a higher authority on the constitution than Dershowitz.

We live in a nation with constitutional rights. Free informed people have the right to make informed personal choices on how to conduct their lives.
COVID-19 is not typhoid. A 2 week stay at home to get a handle on the situation was understandable. A 4 month suspension of constitutional rights is unacceptable. Newsom should be recalled- he does not know how to govern in a constitutional society.

It is just as easy to buy off a scientist as it is a politician.

I'd like to point out those two hospital ships sent to L.A. and N.Y.C. How is it they were largely vacant?
The real hospital crisis is declaring a pause on routine services and procedures. As hospitals were reopened for these patients, that was overwhelming the hospital professionals.
