The very nature of viruses for them to survive (which is strange as they aren't alive until they inhabit the host) is to mutate - most mutations cause the virus to lose potentcy ... but what they are afraid of, is that one mutation that makes it stronger. 

Good point. That’s where I was going.

Reports: In Three Separate Incidents, Russian Doctors Fall From Hospital Windows After Coronavirus PPE Complaints

(MOSCOW) — Two Russian doctors have died and one remains in the intensive care unit in serious condition after falling out of windows in hospitals under mysterious circumstances.

The tragic incidents last week made national headlines, with media reports saying all three had come under pressure from their superiors over working conditions amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In recent weeks, medical workers all over Russia have decried shortages of protective equipment and questionable infection control procedures that turned dozens of hospitals into virus hotbeds, with hundreds of doctors and nurses contracting the virus. Many said they have been threatened with dismissal or even prosecution for going public with their grievances.

Then who created or instigated Jobs boils? Satan.  We know that the bible talks of plagues on Egypt caused by the Almighty.  Locusts, ex.  However, this plague is the sign of the conclusion of system of things. Markers if you will, on the journey to the GT.  We can see all signs coming together.  Man has ruined its way on the earth.  This is soon coming to a close.

Satan does not create. Satan can manipulate things for his own purposes. The boils Job experienced were not a direct creation of Satan.

I thought it was Satan who gave the boils to Job & he also caused terrible weather conditions etc that killed his children 

 

I have wondered perhaps Satan is more powerful than we think & Jesus, knowing at this time of the end Satan & the demons would be causing havoc confined to the earth, was able to predict all the signs accurately; because he knew what they'd be up to.

Satan is powerful. He can do a lot of things. Jehovah is the creator.  Satan can manipulate things to cause severe weather conditions, but he did not create anything. I have a ceiling fan on that moves the air, but that is not creating anything, just moving air around.

 

I don't doubt Satan's power. I am not going to go up against Satan on my own. It would be foolish for me to try.

I like the quote.if I may ask who is bill Underwood?

I have read Bill Underwood's columns for some time, never having made the connection. 60 years ago, prineville, Oregon we went out in service with the Underwood family, they had one of those huge station wagons typical of that time. They moved to Bend shortly thereafter. I worked with his brother on RBC projects in Washington. I touched base with his mother and father a couple of times through the years. Google "Bill K Underwood" and you will get the picture. Look at the reviews of his books. His facebook is also very interesting. At one time his father modeled for the picture of Job that was used in the WT several times.

 

Here is a portion of an Amazon.com  review of one of his books: 

"Resurrection Day: A New World novel

by Bill K. Underwood

Why does everyone want to go to heaven? What do they think they will be doing there?

Meet Steve. An aging Steve died from a virus in the 21st century, amid plagues, wars, crime, pollution, natural disasters and violence. But suddenly Steve is alive, young and healthy. The world he has been resurrected into holds no more threats - no corruption, no diseases, no crime, no wars. He is just beginning to understand what life is really supposed to be like, what Earth's true potential is.

But Steve wants more. What did he miss? How did history work out? How were the Bible’s prophecies about the end of the world and the afterlife fulfilled?

• What was the beast with 7 heads?
• What did the destruction of Babylon the Great mean?
• What prompted the cry of 'Peace and Security'?
• Who or what was Gog of Magog?
• Who survived Armageddon, and who didn't?

On his first day back to a vigorous and vital life on Earth, Steve is about to get satisfying answers to all those questions. ..."

Remember that Jehovah allowed Satan to do this. Under normal circumstances, Satan can't directly make you sick.

 

"Then Jehovah said to Satan: “Look! He is in your hand! Only do not take his life!”  So Satan went out from the presence of Jehovah and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head." - Job 2:6-7

In Exodus chapter 7 Pharaoh's magic practicing priest turned a stick into a snake obviously by Satan's help Satan obviously has some creation powers brother Shafer gave a talk on this in Revelations 16 saying that it would not be Unthinkable for during the Great Tribulation that signs like this could be repeated somehow maybe not with snakes but something else

I don't believe this is the same as creation.  The Bible doesn't explain how the miracle happened.  

 

Quote

*** w18 April p. 4 par. 6 The Way to True Freedom ***
6 When it comes to freedom, a key point for us to bear in mind is that Jehovah God alone has what can be called absolute and unlimited freedom. Why? Because he is the Creator of all things and the almighty Sovereign of the universe. (1 Tim. 1:17; Rev. 4:11) Recall the beautiful words of King David in describing the unique and lofty position that Jehovah alone occupies. (Read 1 Chronicles 29:11, 12.) Accordingly, all creatures in heaven and on earth have freedom in only a relative sense. They must recognize that Jehovah God has the ultimate authority to impose what he determines to be just, necessary, and reasonable limits. That, in fact, was what Jehovah God did with his human creation right from the beginning.

If Satan has the power to create, then Jehovah is NOT the creator of all things.  If Jehovah is the creator of ALL things, then Satan has never created any thing.

 

(Revelation 4:11) 11 “You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.”
 

If Satan could create life, then he would be worthy of worship.  

 

*** it-2 p. 782 Respect ***
Toward Jehovah and His Representatives. By reason of his being Creator, Jehovah God is worthy of the greatest honor from all his intelligent creatures. (Re 4:11) Such honor calls for individuals to render faithful obedience to him, obedience based on love for him and an appreciation for what he has done in their behalf. (Mal 1:6; 1Jo 5:3) It also includes the use of one’s valuable things on behalf of true worship.—Pr 3:9.

I’m still worried about the cat...poor abandoned cat. Lol

Inertia is still preventing me from doing the needful. Maybe I should rename the cat Corona. 🙂

Maybe one of the demons materialized as a snake? They weren’t allowed as human forms but maybe as animals? Of course, just a one time thing. God might have allowed them just once to prove his superior power. 
 

or maybe it was a pseudo creation.. 

Crude snake flesh and muscle without any energy or life in it.. like a human-looking doll moving by electricity.

European infections exceed 1.5 million

While the United States might have the highest number of confirmed infections with 1.3 million, Europe as a whole exceeds that tally.

 

The data is from the Johns Hopkins University and might differ slightly from official national tallies.

Like I said, "supposedly", so there's a little bit of skepticism. But I mean there are no deaths, and who knows if the others are recovering seeing that there are no deaths. I think all options should be carefully ascertained, there's no harm in it.

There are almost 30 million people in Madagascar. If they have less than 200 cases, that means testing virtually doesn't exist.

 

If they had a few thousand of cases, very little deaths, and like a 99 percent recovery rate, I'd probably believe a cure exists there.

Wormwood - Oh double yuk. 🤢 Some used it to stop Thumb Suckers!   May be if it works for those Suckers it will work on these corona suckers. 🤢😲😷.

 

Come to think of it. It didn't work on my one niece. She would suck it off ( she sucked 2 fingers instead of thumb ) and ask for more. 🤢🤢🙈
