COVID-19 tore through a black Baptist church community in WV. Nobody said a word about it

[Bernardo de La Paz]

1. The threat was known. tRump knew. Canada was already going stay-at-home.

March 11, four days earlier, WHO declared it a global pandemic. Enough time for the knowledge to sink in.

March 13, even tRump is moved to declare National Emergency. March 13.

People who trust science instead of doG were already taking precautions.

If the church-goers were not following the torrent of news stories and were too trusting in doG, then I'm sorry if I don't have much sympathy for them.

I wish the virus on nobody, and I wish a full recovery for any who have it. But it is WRONG to say "the threat was still largely unknown".

It's like the guy on the roof in the flood who refused help from a boat and a helicopter saying "god will save me". Then god told him at the gates "I sent a boat and a helicopter!"

god says to those church-goers "I gave you a brain and free will! I gave you telecommunications and trusted news sources! I gave you scientists and epidemiologists!"
