Over 100 Infected with Covid-19 After Worship Service at Baptist Church

[JonC]

With that, I agree. Especially for the sake of those at risk. I'm all for caution.

That said, the article is bogus: "Over 100 Infected with Covid-19 After Worship Service." I'll be very curious how this story evolves, in fact it's already evolving.

Here's an english account of the incident from Friendly Atheist. 107 COVID Cases Have Been Traced Back to One Church Service in Germany. Notice the nuanced way they report it.

At least 107 people have been found to be infected with the new coronavirus after some of them attended Sunday services at a church in Frankfurt two weeks ago, according to German officials, highlighting the growing risk of new outbreaks of the virus as Germany loosens restrictions on public gatherings. (emphasis mine)​

The 107 number isn't all Christians. They're supposedly people who came in contact with the Christians. The article goes on to say:

Your religion isn’t worth all those innocent lives.

Maybe these pastors eager to open their churches could do us all a favor and replace their own sermons with pleas from current COVID patients from their hospital rooms. Maybe then the parishioners would realize how selfish they are by ignoring epidemiologists and putting their families and communities directly in the path of the virus.​

Sounds like some serious scapegoating. Let's see how this story continues to evolve.

I'm healthy....well, not really but not so bad. I've taken this time to tile a couple of floors and work on the yard. I've gone fishing (fresh water a few times, surf fishing a few times), gone crabbing, been to the mountains a couple of times and to the beach several times.

For me this has been a good vacation (except for the tile part).

But my mother and aunt have health issues and are isolated. They venture out to pick up groceries they have called in. That's about it.

I agree that we need to get things going again. And I even agree the brakes were hit a little too hard.

What concerns me is reading thread after thread by Christians (not you and not necessarily here) who treat people like my mother as an acceptable loss.

Again, I know that is not you based on your character. And I pretty much agree with what you have said. We just have to think of those who are suffering. Some are being reasonable cautious, and perhaps some out of unreasonable fear and not knowing which "science" to believe. But they are suffering all the same.

Well, I'm glad you're not accusing me of this. You won't find anyone more protective than me of those at risk. My dad's an octogenarian.

There is still a very lot about this virus that we do not know.

Usually scientific research is conducted under rigorous standards and peer reviewed before it is published in a journal.
In certain situations this process is laid aside when the urgency of a situation and the importance of the research is assessed as critical.
Unfortunately, with this pandemic, a huge number of quasi-scientific articles have bypassed this screening and the press has published them with usually imaginative headlines. It makes a confusing array of “not-really scientific” data and much of it is untrustworthy and biased.

On top of this, statistical data from various sources is being re-examined and re-worked to provide more useful information. The public doesn’t understand how science works and is concerned when scientists correct themselves.

So I understand why many do not know who to trust anymore.

you could have a mosquito bite and the globalist liars would count it as a COVID-19 infection.

They followed safety precautions except they sang hymns with uncovered mouths and noses.

Frankfurt, Germany

After several days of silence, the Frankfurt Baptist Association wrote on Monday about the 107 known corona infections that had occurred after a service in the club's own prayer house on May 10. On the homepage it says in an "information letter" that one is "deeply dismayed and sad that the infection has found its way into the community and spread with a strong dynamic".

The association also states that "separate and controlled entrances and exits were used at the meeting, appropriate signs were attached, sufficient disinfectants were available and the distance of 1.50 meters was observed". The two large Christian churches have agreed on such hygiene and distance rules with the authorities and politicians. On this basis, public services have been permitted again in Hesse since May.

No mouth-nose protection during worship

During the meeting on May 10, contrary to the instructions, there was singing together. Experts advise against this, in order not to increase the risk of infection through droplet transmission. In retrospect, "it would have been appropriate for us" to do without singing together, "says the association's letter. No mouth-nose protection was worn during the service.

Fair points, but they miss the main issue. It’s not mainly the media, it’s those supposedly in the know, Fauci being a prime example. When a scientist in charge speaks too confidently with only the potentially faulty information you described, that sets up a scenario for major distrust.

The WHO has lied and deceived, and far too many have based their analyses on what the Communist Chinese have “shared,” yet the Communist Chinese have lied, deceived, and been generally uncooperative from the outset, not to mention predatory.

To the global elitist the general population is just so much flotsam and jetsam - expendable and at best - eugenic tools to bring about a desired social end.

if the LORD tarries we will get over it just as we have gotten over the horrible abomination of the slaughter of innocent babies by the millions on its way to billions.

In what other environment may unborn children be found?

strangled or poisoned on a table or ground up/cut up in a flesh blender in an abortuary.
