    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    Of all the activities I listed, it is worship I miss most....doing it digitally just doesn't fill the void I'm feeling. I always knew how much I enjoyed the fellowship that comes from congregating together to give thanks and praise, but I don't think I ever realized how much I really need it...

    Is anyone else struggling with mental health issues right now?

    We do go for walks, but the medication she has is on has as side effect of weight gain...and she's complaining of knee pain, which she doesn't blame on her weight...the pain is someong doing it to her, or someone using someone else to cause her pain...or an invisible person using someone....

    I'm not worrying at all about case numbers, because a country like Sweden, by and large only testing people who need treatment and missing nearly all asymptomatic cases as well as those with only mild symptom.....it makes any comparison impossible. Ultimately I'm looking only at mortality.

    Is anyone else struggling with mental health issues right now?

    Its Easter Sunday....a day that, going back to my earliest days, has always been incredibly special...for different reasons at differnt times. My wife suffers from schizophrenia....she doesn't hear voices or see things that aren't there, for her in manifests itself in delusional thoughts...

    In the world I live in worship at church is banned...I cannot get on a plane or travel, or even leave my province, every financial pro is saying the economy is going to crash, worse than the financial crisis of 2008/2009.... You consider these realities to be part of some fantasy world??? Its...

    Just and FYI and further proof that the Swede's have a lot on the ball, more than many other countries....rather than just pray that social distancing half measures and having some people stay home while thousands of others are out and about every day....instead of hoping for the best as we seem...

    Their case load in my opinion is largely reflective of the fact that (at least according to info on worldmeters) that they're testing at roughly half the rate of countries like Canada and even Korea.

    Check this out, please. And thanks to EH for indavertently sending me down this rabbitt hole: Italy - Population 60 million - 19,468 dead Canada - 38.5 million - 653 dead Singapore - 5.6 million - 8 dead Malaysia - 31.5 million - 73 dead Japan - 126.5 million - 108 dead Taiwan - 23.8 million...

    Question: So are you saying that the numbers I'm seeing reported on the worldmeter's site are not trustworthy? That is a genuine question. I had been operating on the belief that, for the most part, that they are reliable. I'm sure you know about the dangers of drawing cause and effect...

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    I'm wondering EH if you even check anything before making claims as if they're facts. I have it backwards? South Korea's testing effort was HUGE? I believe you regarded this worldmeters site as being reasonably accurate and trustworthy (I could be wrong, perhaps you don't). If you check it...

    Do you even read the reporting???? If you only test acute cases obviously your fatality rate is going to be exponentially higher than places where asymptomatic cases are identifed in drive through testing centres....c'mon, you're a lot smater than playing with statisitcs this way. Sweden has...

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    If the "there" you're referring to is Sweden, then obviously no its not 'business as usual'. In anticipation of the surge they prepared by having the miltiary build field hospitals as you mention, and mass treatment wards...they didn't bury their heads in the sand. Like many countries that...

    This Corona virus pandemic could be the weapon that takes our liberties away , all in the name of saving lives?

    Its hardly secret knowledge....its widely known and reported, but there are still people unaware. Its time to follow Sweden's example. Shuttering people in their homes and closing small business while allowing Amazon fulfillment centers to remain open with thousands of employees going in and...

    In pre WW II Germany the population believed that they were being protected....and speaking of Bush, google Prescott Bush (Dubya's grandfather) and tell me what you find out about his bank's activities prior the United States entering the war.

    End time prophecies on Trump & coronavirus!

    I'm not an "end times" type guy....it'll happen when it happens, and I've always figured my own end times are much closer than some interrpertations of The Rapture. With that being said Iceland is now reporting volcanic activity not seen since something like the year 1,200.....the souteastern...

    Televangelist Kenneth Copeland calls forth ‘supernatural heatwave’ to kill coronavirus in NYC

    I posted this to my facebook wall about this Copeland video that's making the rounds: I no longer am shy about proclaiming my Christian faith, I try to walk that line of never denying it, but also of not being a pain in the backside by pounding on the Bible and preaching because I know it can...

    Churchgoers Congregate During Coronavirus Pandemic - Video

    I am going to take a degree of exception to your post, specifically the sentence quoted above, and in particular the use of the word "rampant" which you qualify (thankfully) with the word 'seemingly'. Listening to the news, the word rampant is almost mild. I'm hearing words associated with...

    Churchgoers Congregate During Coronavirus Pandemic - Video

    I'm enjoying our conversation, because even though we're disagreeing somewhat the tone is not just civil, I'd even describe it as warm...as is befitting a discussion between two individuals who proclaim Jesus as Lord. You are right, that one can worship anywhere....something of which I'm...

    I haven't closed my eyes to that possibilty, and you offer a very good analogy of this line of thinking. The way this is being reported, without context definitely has all the markings of a black op in my books....fear reduces the ability of people to think calmly, rationally and clearly...
