    Default Hundreds ignore ban on gatherings to attend church in Louisiana

    where more than 3,500 people have tested positive for coronavirus


    Hundreds of people flouted Louisiana's COVID-19 ban on gatherings, coming on buses and in personal vehicles to the first of three Sunday services at their church a day after New Orleans police broke up a funeral gathering of about 100 people.

    An estimated 500 people of all ages filed inside the mustard-yellow and beige Life Tabernacle church in Central, a city of nearly 29,000 outside Baton Rouge.


    Paul Quinn, a resident of Central who lives near the church, says this is a health hazard.

    “Other congregations are using the Internet, Skype, and other safe ways to congregate. Why can’t they? What makes them so special?" said Quinn. "I wish state police would come out and do something. This is above our little local police level. The state needs to get involved. If they get out of church and go to the grocery store, it’s a serious health hazard. They don’t know how many people they’re affecting, and they don’t seem to care. That’s a problem.”

    I'd prefer to face the Wuhan virus than live in fear. You won't see me wearing a mask in public or cowering at home. If there's a nearby church with a service, I'm going, to show my support for freedom over authoritarianism.
    Ape lives matter. Stop putting them in zoos. Boycott businesses that don't hire apes.

    Then answered all the Jews, and said, Jesus' blood be on us, and on our children. So be it.
    Jews want to turn America into an atheistic, amoral, socialist farmyard.

    its fine. The left just focuses on the physical aspect of this fight but there is the psychological or morale portion too. In times like these sometimes you just need to feel part of something bigger which is why i think you have all these random people doing the pledge of allegiance.

    These rubes know they are bullets in a pandemic's gun. Pretty much wanton disregard for life. They are borderline criminal.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    a good friend lost her husband suddenly about a month ago.
    Cause of death still disputed. And she's Catholic and can't go to mass .

    There's all kinds of suffering out there, even those with cabin fever deserve our compassion. May this end quickly
