Cool. You realize they didn't have germ theory in the first century, right?
The almighty knew about it and gave the Jews rules for the unclean. They mirror closely our CDC guidelines.
Also the sabbath was made for man not man for sabbath. In cases of emergency I have no problem with suspending service.
Covid never was never really that deadly. Based on what we know now, it's more than 99% survivable. I stand by what I said.
If you're skipping church out of convenience, you're sinning.
If you're sick stay home. Simple as that. Same as it's been since before the first century.
That's a very loaded statement. You do realize that 1% of 350m is 3.5m people? People love to use that 99% survival rate but don't really dive into what that really means.
And death is not the only metric of damage done by this. We're still learning but as many as 30% of folks that got moderate to severe symptoms have what they're calling long covid which will have life long affects.
Bad take not everyone will catch it, and its actually significantly lower than 1 percent.
Long covid is extremely rare.
75% who died had 4 comorbidities or more.
It's over 1% of those who caught Covid. Long Covid affects millions. And those with 4 comorbidities are equal to you in value.
Sure they are, but they are about to die anyways, and are what we call shut ins. They don't get to come to church much anyways.
For the vast majority of people it's about as serious as the flu. For young and healthy people they need to be at work, school, and church for their mental, and spiritual health.
This is the part that I object. There are thousands of people that have died from Covid that were NOT 'about to die anyway'. That is incredibly insesitive and factually incorrect. People live with ailments for decades. I really think you need to rethink this take.
I disagree. I think you're wrong and factually incorrect. I really think your takes like yours lead to more harm than good. I think your facts are wrong.
These shutdowns were inhumane, and I know many who where unable to bury loved ones, go to the funeral, or be by their side when they died.
My grandmother died early because the doctor refused to see her because of covid. I was unable to be with loved ones on the hospital for policies that made no sense.
You may not support all the covid insanity, but it should be dismissed for the cold that it is now.
Viruses mutate to be less deadly and more infectious. It wasn't that deadly to start with. We know that now. It's even less deadly now.
We have to get back to normal. We don't have a choice.
