isnt this how the virus got spread in korea? i mean a sect called shinjeonji held a massive ceremony and one woman with symptoms had to go. voila thousands infected
Unfortunately they'll still go out and spread this to others that didn't lick floors and who are just keeping society going.
Yeah. Here in SC, churches are helping those without food, including my church.
They're serving the community here instead of proving a point to own the libs.
It was a bit more insidious, a lot of them HAD the virus and kept quiet and moved around in public spaces. These people in the article are just an obscure corner being obscure

That's what I've seen here, too. I.... really don't get the mindset of some of these folk.
Definitely don´t take a gun and start shooting each other. Oh my god, do not do that. You´ll die. It´s a fact.
Oh, btw i´m for health care for all, a universal basic income, and Bernie should be the next president.

Yeah, I'm seeing both sides of this right now. My church canceled physical services and went to a video format this Sunday. They're saying it's just for this week, but they're monitoring the situation. In other words, they're trying to mitigate the backlash from the older demographic of the church, but they will probably be canceling services week after week for the next month or so.
On the other side (though I guess the older demo of my church covers that already), my folks go to a small, middle-of-nowhere church and they're real defiant about it and won't be shutting down. I mean, compared to a lot of "megachurches" or even my relatively large church for the area, their exposure won't be quite as significant. I mean, I'm still working from the office because we don't have customers and there's like...half a dozen people here and we all isolated ourselves into our offices BEFORE all this anyhow.

Patient 31
2019 coronavirus: The Korean clusters
How coronavirus cases exploded in South Korean churches and hospitals
graphics.reuters.com
It's not clear where Patient 31 became infected with the virus, but in the days before her diagnosis, she travelled to crowded spots in Daegu, as well as in the capital Seoul. On February 6 she was in a minor traffic accident in Daegu, and checked herself into an Oriental medicine hospital. While at that hospital, she attended services at the Daegu branch of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, on February 9 and again on February 16.
In between those visits, on February 15, doctors at the hospital said they first suggested she be tested for the coronavirus, as she had a high fever. Instead, the woman went to a buffet lunch with a friend at a hotel. In an interview with local newspaper JoongAng Ilbo, the woman denied that doctors had advised her to be tested. As her symptoms worsened, however, doctors say they once again advised her to be tested. On February 17, she finally went to another hospital for the test. The next day, health authorities announced she was the country's 31st confirmed case. In only a matter of days, those numbers had soared as hundreds of people at the Shincheonji Church and surrounding areas tested positive.

With all we know about what people do, I wouldn't be so sure about that.
It's bad enough many don't want things to close because that's liberal to them instead of simply sensible.
I'd usually just say let them get on with but they're going to end up infecting innocent people. Fake news really is going to kill us all
The same thing happened in Iran. There are videos of people licking shrines amid the coronavirus outbreak to « prove » their faith. Religious bigotry turns people into complete morons.
Sounds like my AA meeting last night.
The strangest part was when someone made an announcement that they are immunocompromised, but framed the entire thing as if he were a danger to a group. "If my condition makes any of you uncomfortable I can put the mask on."

I hope she doesn't get away with it. She belongs in prison.
This doesn't seem like a good idea, no matter the situation. Are these outlashes due to people not knowing what to do with their nervous energy during this time?
I have some suspect cousins. 2 brothers. They live in Virginia now despite being born and bred in New Jersey. My one cousin is straight up a pastor of a church or some shit. I honestly do not really understand the whole situation. I initially thought they moved down there on some con men shit. These cousins got into a whole lot of trouble growing up. In and out of juvenile detention. Once they were not juveniles real problems with the law.
When I heard they had "found god" and were moving down to Virginia I thought to myself "sure they did."
I actually have come to discover a few years back, they are dead serious.
Years back to be polite, I accepted a friend request from said cousins wife, who I have only met once. As I said, we are not really super close. Them moving to Virginia and also finding god out of nowhere means there is not a whole lot of keeping in touch.
Well yesterday his wife went on some fucking crazy rant on Facebook about how you cannot close houses of worship because of a fake made up virus and it was all a plan from the deep state to take away their churches and "be ready ya'll as the end times are coming." This was not her posting some meme. She was dead ass serious.
It was literally un-fucking-believable to me. There is a small part of me hoping it is a big ruse by my cousin and his wife. The thing is I do not think it is and they truly believe this shit. People are dumb and strange. That is for sure.

I like to think of it like an addict who needs a fix whenever times get really stressful. Things are going poorly and they fully realize it but instead of being constructive or pragmatic about the situation, they just turn back to what makes them feel good for a little while i.e. "owning the libs".
It's amazing how when the nation is confronted with an actual real deal threat the conservatives cower and cry "hoax". It's some major snowflakey shit.
Politics and religion don't mix and these people are living proof.
These are the same people who thought prohibition was a good idea.
That reminds me of the shrine licking in Iran.
