The bulk of these lockdowns and mandates are nonsensical and not founded on solid data, yet they are pushed by politicians attempting to give the illusion that they have everything under control and are there to keep the general public safe. You say that mask mandates will allow us to open up the economy again yet California "had" to lockdown and implement curfews for the majority of the state months after they implemented their mandate. 
I'm surprised they are using a rebreather as opposed to a high flow nasal cannula? She will have lived years longer than the average US female. It's sad, but everyone dies. I can only hope to live to be +80 years old.
It probably didn't help that the governor of new york forced nursing homes to take thousands of known covid positive patients. That's probably the worst thing he could have done and likely resulted in tens of thousands of deaths. 
Me deciding to not get a vaccine doesn't mean I'm responsible for someone dying. Also, hospitals do screen all their employees, but performing tests on everyone on a regular basis when they have no symptoms or don't meet testing criteria is contraindicated and wasteful.
No thanks, I'll just wear a mask instead. 
Better lock the whole country down immediately!! (except cannabis stores, Hollywood movie sets, fast food joints, and other essential businesses of course) |
I know several people who are regular church attendees and they're doing just fine with video services and Zoom meetings for their smaller group studies. It's not ideal for them because obviously a majority of people prefer in-person meetings, but they're doing it and surviving. I'm fairly sure there's even a scripture in the Bible about how the church isn't the building but the people, and that wherever the people are is where the church is.
So to keep saying people are forced to not have church or that not being able to attend in person is a super horrible thing is super disingenuous.
If I had memorized my arguments back in uni I'd probably be able to point this argument out as a straw man or something, since you and many other people are making a much larger, debilitating issue out of church than it needs to be right now.
