Special Report: Five days of worship that set a virus time bomb in France

From the stage of an evangelical superchurch, the leader of the gospel choir kicked off an evening of prayer and preaching: "We're going to celebrate the Lord! Are you feeling the joy tonight?"

Don't underestimate the role religion has had in the spread of COVID. The cult woman in South Korea, the 16,000 Mosque gathering in Malaysia, Indonesia's government saying that you can "pray the virus away" and now this. With the amount of religious nutjobs in the States, it will continue to spiral out of control there.

Wasn't there also some gathering in France for the Guinness Book of Records...most people dressed as Smurfs...or something like that? Also there was a large women's march in Spain around the same time...

What have you lot done to contain this virus so successfully? Only around 30 deaths so far if I’m not mistaken. The only western nation along with New Zealand who seem to be combating it successfully

We have a very good health system evidently.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Stayed home.

So are we though. France even more so. But deaths are spiralling out of control. When did you lockdown?

Our health system is pretty top notch too, and have tested heavily.

Just had a thought is it because you’ve been in summer?

If anything we'd be worse impacted because we're coming into winter now.

I don't think weather has much impact though. Indonesia, Brazil and the Philippines prove this. According to this, a majority of our cases have been in the 20-30 range which would contribute to the low death rate but the social isolation thing seems to be working, for now, which is why we're not seeing an explosion in cases. Low density population helps too.

‘what’s your incoming protocols? We’re locking anyone entering the country into hotel rooms for 14 days. AFAIK, you still had people from all over waltzing in no questions...
