Social distancing means standing 6 feet apart. Here's what that actually looks like

Mt. Juliet, Tn.  Pastor Greg Locke holds church Sunday despite coronavirus warnings from governor, CDC

Here is another one defying orders from Govnenor  Lee of Tennessee who stated -" Gov. Bill Lee said last week that churches are "risking people's lives" by continuing to meet as health officials set out recommendations to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus."

"Locke ( the pastor ) estimated around 250 people attended Sunday's service, slightly lower than the approximately 300 that fill Global Vision for a typical service at its campus on Old Lebanon Dirt Road. A few attendees were from other churches that aren't holding physical services, according to Locke."

 

Another one disobeying the "Superior Authorities"!

I thought covid-19 is the disease caused by this strain of corona virus? 🤔 I don't know....

COVID-19  IS the disease caused by the corona virus strain known as SARS-( something)19. People are misusing the disease name as the Viral name. But both SARS and MERS are actually Corona Viruses. So is the common cold.    I think this is a way of talking about the disease without being politically incorrect.

"Think about it, if people keep trying to go to/do services, the governments will crack down on them with arrests or fines, and dispersing gatherings.

 

Like this preacher!

 

A Louisiana pastor defies a state order and holds a church service with hundreds of people

 

"Keep going to church! Keep on worshiping God! ... The church is a hospital for the sick! It's a place of healing for the brokenhearted!"

In holding services for so many followers at his Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge, Spell defied an emergency order by Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards banning public or private gatherings with more than 50 people to stop the spread of Covid-19.

a few like Spell defiantly refuse, arguing that they have a right to worship as they please, and that, with fears of contagion upending our daily lives,

 

They're pushing it!

Talk about being under an Evil Spell!

Looking at the numbers on how fast this virus is spreading, it took 67 days from the first reported case of Covid-19 to reach 100,000 cases. Then 11 days to reach 200,000 cases, then 4 days to reach 300,000 cases, then less than 36 hours to reach 400,000 cases, and now most likely less than 24 hours to reach 500,000 cases..... I think you can do the math on the rest.

Covid-19 is a subset of Coronavirus. Corona (or crown) was attached to this virus based on the way it looks. But the virus morphs over time. This is the (20)19 version.

It's a bit like the 'Other Sheep' vs 'Great Crowd.'

suddenly it occurs to me if the world observed the mosaic law, would there still be a pandemic of this scale? Because most serious diseases are caused by contact with animals..

[GraceH]

Wow. The world feels so quiet at the moment. It is weird and scary. Like it has forgotten how to breathe. I wonder what is going to follow.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Gas prices could fall as low as 99 cents per gallon in the coming weeks, according to GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan.
 

 

NB:  This is one thing I will not be complaining about!

 

 

I filled up my fuel tank at U.S. $1.75 per gallon last week! 

Prices are sloowly going down,  down, down ...

Covid19 is the disease caused by the virus  - the virus' official name is Sars.Cov.II - OR Novel Corona Virus.

Covid stands for Corona virus disease.  - so covid is not the virus - it's the result of the virus.

 

Many individuals contract the virus - but not all get the disease, or if they do it's very light. It's the 15-20% who get it and develop a severe form of covid19 who we are all trying to protect.

My Neice got married yesterday - she was meant to get married in a few weeks, but we are going into lock down in a few hours so she got married to her lovely husband yesterday and streamed it. An enforced honeymoon.

What is strange, but true is that one thing that is alive and benefiting this pandemic is our planet earth. How? Less pollutants.

Of course I do! That is why I shared the picture. I know Camden Lock is located in London and the Regent's Canal would perhaps not be more than 1 m in depth - so it would be hard for a creature that size to breach from the water. Plus these creatures come from the Arctic and Antarctic regions of the Earth. I was sharing the picture as a joke but also what will not be a joke in Paradise (what perhaps might be).

I know some people that would believe that picture was legit, that why I asked.  Yes, it will be wonderful when the entire earth is cleansed. 

 

We are getting glimpses now.

But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.  For men will be hoarders of toilet paper, lovers of bleach, panic shopping, scared, disobedient to CDC, sneezing and having no face mask, having hand sanitizer and not open to any sharing, slatherers of soap without self-control, self quarantined without love of good hygiene, wrongful eaters and puffed up with indigestion, lovers of cable TV rather than lovers of God, having an appearance of social distancing but proving false to its power; and from these turn away for at least 6 feet. - 2 Timothyish 3:1-5

As usual there goes my coffee!  love it!~

Maybe the earth is being tired of being disrespected.
