Im just wondering if covid19 is really dangerous. What if the media is just over reacting. ...

Ask the families of brothers in Italy that had died and the many more that got sick.

 

In Canada in the news a 29 yo man got it and just came out of a 8 week+ coma. He is still in bad shape.

Or the Cdn actor in Broadway shows who was in a long coma, lost his leg then his life., etc, etc.

Consciousness, that annoying time between naps! :sleeping:

Believe  me sis, it is dangerous. And do not let your guards down too. You can harm yourself and others too.

Sometimes, its so hard to trust the media.. But anyway, the governing body says that some  of our bro and sis died because of it. 

Media is too sensational and with so many lies.

Sister, whether you trust the media or not is your choice, however the Faithful and Discreet Slave has locked down every theocratic facility worldwide, they believe the pandemic is a very real and dangerous threat to everyone. So please follow their example.

Alright.. Last week I was called to have a job interview with the government.  I didn't attend because of this virus.. 

Then, I realized that I need more stable job, and I told myself that why did I miss my chance to go there.. 

Anyway, im working from home. Jah always provides as long as we pray to him.... Companies nowadays are getting stricter and tough.

In Massachusetts someone took picture of boat cruise where there was No social distancing and no masks - it was crowded.

 

In Brampton, ON home owners were charged after a house party of about 200. They will have a huge fine - depends if anyone tests positive or gets hospitalized or dies, or those who were positive and spread it further afield.

Fine can range from $1000 to $750,000 or a lot more if some gets really sick or dies then it is $1 1/4 million and maybe jail time, because they were in contravention of Canada Quarantine Act.

Many countries impose a "new normal" even though they are not ready because it is based on economic considerations.

The economy cannot work if people are just at home. That is why they impose social distance, face masks, etc. so they could move on but with extreme care.

But for a densely populated country like India, where even getting a seat on the train is not even possible. that norm seems like it's not working.

I don’t know as a person, yet you are my sister. I tell everybody who I come into contact even if they are in the truth or not is that they stay safe. Do not let the media confuse you. Your common sense has an edge over them. Be very careful my sis.

I read today about the Brampton house party that the hosts hired guards to ensure no one took video while attending the party & put up barriers to block neighbors from seeing what was going on.

I guess even during a pandemic some ppl are immune to good advice.

I haven’t really followed this thread. 
To me, it is black and white. No in between. Jehovah’s organization has spoken, and, until the majority of my ministry is not letter writing. It’s a done deal. 
I know there is going to be a resurrection, but, I so want to see Jehovah’s name set on high. 

I want to age without sharp corners, and have an obedient heart!

Quote

A pet cat is the first animal to test positive for COVID-19 in the UK

Other cats have also been tested positive in other lands, two were in New York. They say pets are not a threat to humans, but if they carry, then in my opinion they are, it's just an attempt to stop people freaking out.

They don't want us to use it because they want us to take the vaccine. I'm very familiar with that medication. A few people I know with lupus take it. 

 

I'm not taking that vaccine.

That was 1 of 3 large parties the police broke up in Peel Region on the weekend. 

The home owner got an initial fine of $800+ however he has to go to court where it can be raised to $100,000 and should be according to the Premier of Ontario.

The solution to the problem is right here in the above picture the best way to stop covid-19 is to stop talking most everybody has a smartphone if you have a question for somebody even though they're ten feet away just text them your phone can't catch it

I can guarantee you that if everyone stopped breathing it would stop covid19 within minutes...😳

I thought it could live in the air or on surfaces for hours.   :lol1:

Phillipians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are of serious concern, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are chaste, whatever things are lovable, whatever things are well-spoken-of, whatever things are virtuous, and whatever things are praiseworthy, continue considering these things.

So please follow their example. 

Their example skews everyone towards caution. Their example serves to show that they follow their own counsel of not being casual about this virus. But part of their example is advising that each family head is responsible for how his or her own family will respond as areas of the world open from quarantine, as they point out that what is in the best interests of one family may not be in the best interests of another. Highlighting all of their example helps prevent the frustration of JennyM

She must make her own decision, based upon her own circumstances, judgement, and conscience, how bad is the situation in her area & will social distancing and masks suffice, and just how badly does she need a job. She should not feel that she is bound to do something just because someone else is.

Remember the madness of toilet toilet paper brawling in aisle 10?

Yes. This was probably the first indication that the world’s chaotic on again-off again response to Covid 19 would be a disaster.

Here is a time-honored vaccine that has been used since time immemorial. I think I prefer this vaccine more. :)

 

Soap—A “Do-It-Yourself Vaccine”

“THE second-biggest killer of children in the world is neither malaria, nor tuberculosis, nor AIDS. It is . . . diarrhoea,” reports the magazine The Economist. Yet, many of these young victims would be alive today had they and their families regularly washed their hands with soap.

Researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that “appropriate hand-washing can cut diarrhoeal diseases by 43%,” says The Economist. “It may have an equally big impact on respiratory-tract infections, the biggest child-killer of all. A huge study carried out for the American army found that sniffles and coughs fell by 45% when troops washed their hands five times a day.” In developing lands soap is affordable for most families. Hence, it is fittingly described as “a sort of do-it-yourself vaccine.” And it is a painless one at that!

The Bible too encourages cleanliness. “Let us . . . cleanse ourselves from all that can defile flesh or spirit,” says 2 Corinthians 7:1. (The New English Bible) Although God is primarily concerned with our spiritual purity, he also considers physical hygiene to be important. (Leviticus, chapters 12-15) Of course, he does not expect us to go to extremes. Still, we should make it a habit to wash our hands after using the toilet, after washing or changing a baby, before preparing or sitting down to a meal, and on any other occasion when there is a reasonable likelihood that we could pass harmful germs or viruses on to others. By washing our hands regularly, we show Christian love for our family and all with whom we may come in contact.—Mark 12:31.

 

NB: Thoughout God's Word we read terms such as "bathe, clean, cleanliness, pure, holy."  So we must be holy because Jehovah God is holy. Lev. 11:45(b).

 

Jehovah’s laws regarding cleanliness given to the ancient Israelites were not only a benefit then but even now a protection in these times of pestilence.  Knowing this for a while, I'll continue soap and water regime instead of potentially toxic hand-sanitizers.
