LINK E.W. Jackson Vows to Hold Church Services in Defiance of Virginia's Stay-at-Home Order | Right Wing Watch
Churches and religious gatherings are KNOWN vectors for transmitting Covid-19 infections.
The "believers" are going to really cause the pandemic to stick around much longer.

Can't we put these people into fucking cages? The cowardly psycho they worship puts kids in cages.

It's sad that natural selection needs to weed these folks out. They're going to take innocent people with them. That's the sad part.

No do it on Sunday when they are in the church. Let them all meet Jesus together.
@JackPedigo This video comes in handy in cases like this.
I remember the same happened in Florida and there was a warrant went out for the pastors arrest. That might eventually happen in VA as well.

Unfortunately hey couldn’t keep him. He was released on bail. He gets to do it again.
Thre Louisiana pastor was just issued a summons. He said he is not going to stop having services. He had 1000 at his church last week.
If Florida put another moron pastor in jail for this, I don't see why VA won't do it

There is a preacher near Tampa, FL that got arrested for holding a 500 person church gathering as well. It's sad how they think that their magical thinking is more powerful than germ theory. I'm of two minds on this. On the one hand I am concerned for them and on the other I'm like, "they get what they deserve."

We have one of these geniuses in Louisiana too. He says the virus is "politically motivated". I haven't found out yet if the virus is a Republican or a Democrat....

But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal. Luke 11:38
Jesus did was his hands before meal, why would anyone think any of Jesus's followers would be concerned with hand washing or other sanitary practices?

Well, no, because it poses a threat to other sections of the community.
@BryanLV Sorry?
I was wondering what you were apologizing for. But perhaps it was for your poor analogy? If I go out driving and kill or injure some people through inattention or whatever, those people do not go and do the same to others, and they to others, and so on. Try again.
SCal:
Was only a fake apology. Not bad at all. None of these people have been reported to be carrying covid. The community is not inside the church. Perfect analogy.
If youre trying to convince me that I should be afraid, you will fail.
What some fail to grasp is that we are in a war here--one in which selfish behavior risks getting people killed.

Then, we are doomed.
@PondartIncbendog Some of us may be, more than necessary to be sure. Basic game theory playing itself out in real time.
Let them murder each other so they can Rapture each other!!!
This would be criminally insane even under normal times to expose individuals to toxic agents with full knowledge of the outcome of death and infirmity that is overtly possible!!!
Le them kill themselves, let their god(s) sort them out!!!

Is there any statistics on the cases that shows church goers have a higher or lower percentage of infection?
What if the numbers show that those that went to church touching each other and stuff had a lot lower infection rate? What could be said then?

@TheMiddleWay Aren't we ?. Here is one for you [independent.co.uk]
@TheMiddleWay No of course we are not as all sporting events have been cancelled. There have been a few from churches though which goes to show how stupid some of the church leaders and churchgoers are.
In Israel, the Hasidim (ultra-orthodox jews) have, with few exceptions refused to stop congregating for prayer even calling the police who try to stop them nazis. They make up 12% of the Israeli population but account for over half the hospitalizations.
@TheMiddleWay Sports events still going ahead ?. I hope not. All sporting events here have been banned for a couple of weeks now and the latest casualty is Wimbledon.Also all churches and other places of worship have been closed.
The general mindset in the US may be a bit different . Apart from the total incompetence of Trump in handling the situation there is the illusion of personal freedom. "the land of the free " and nonsense like that.
