    I would guess, since it is God’s virus, and all parties involved "confessed", it is not theirs, that it has already done the plan of God in every human body. Remember in Matthew 24 when Jesus said 1 will be taken, and 1 will be left? That did not mean half the world. It meant the virus was very "contagious" That was the goal of science. However two people standing in close proximity, both would be infected, but only one "had to die". God's plan would be all humans would be hit, and to the shock of science they were, and the sunami came and vanished. All the science hype is just science hype. That is all billions of dollars can do or ever will do. Of course in the panic of this planned out event, we get hyper everything, including inflation. The only way, and I guess Bill Gates way, is that if a virus cannot change things, plan A. There is always plan B: a global war. Yep, that was God's plan also. Is it not coincidental, that Satan's plan, the billionare, economic plan, for the world; just happened to be God's plan that God gave to the church almost 2000 years ago?

    Not really as the only answer I care about I already have - God is sovereign and he will bring this present heavens and earth to an end as He determines. That’s really all I need to know about that subject. As is inscribed on the tomb of Oliver Cromwell, “Christ, not man, is King.”

    There is no south pole. It is a mountain range around the sea in the middle. Plenty of room for earth's population if it were not so darn cold all the time. Should have kept on with that global warming stuff....

    Any time someone starts talking about a model, I just tune them out now.

    “But Imperial also applied its UK assumptions to Sweden, warning that its rejection of lockdown was likely to leave the virus rampant with an R of between 3 and 4. That is to say: every person infected would give it to three or four others. Its modelling envisaged Sweden paying a heavy price for its rejection of lockdown, with 40,000 Covid deaths by 1 May and almost 100,000 by June.

    The latest figure for Sweden is 2,680 deaths, with daily deaths peaking a fortnight ago. So Imperial College’s modelling – the same modelling used to inform the UK response – was wrong, by an order of magnitude.”

    Yeah, Imperial College is way off on this thing. I think that Bill Gates has connections to the Imperial College, just sayin'.

    I'll save everybody a click and just tell you the article is filled with blame for the (nameless) elites that are causing us to be paranoid of everything and exhibit OCD behavior. Then we get the usual leading questions based on hyperbole that play on our already formed opinions to create a response. It's just another form of hack journalism.

    Here's a quote from the article:
    Can we see that something is bound to go wrong with our country if we continue to regard our fellow Americans as walking pathogens? Can we guess that something is amiss with a political philosophy that regards all of society as permanently contaminated by either invisible and wrong thinking or by an unending virus that is continually recycling and ready to attack when a distance of six feet is breached? Can we foresee the permanent debilitation of a society that needs to be kept in an economic coma permanently, fed intravenously drip by monetary drip by the nanny Munchausen State? Might even the most stalwart among us turn into hopeless agoraphobics who see the entire world as so germ-ridden, so sick unto death that we must stay inside forever?

    I couldn’t agree more. I was in a debate on Twitter a few weeks ago with someone who lives in the NYC area. He was badmouthing Arkansas and told me, just you wait, Arkansas will look like NYC. Monday’s report showed all of 27, that’s 27, new cases in Arkansas. The anti-liberty Statists, who want us to cower at home and depend on government for food and supplies, need to ignored.

    His analysis is not wrong.

    There is no analysis. There is just innuendo and questions.

    Okay. I will rephrase. His “innuendo and questions” are not wrong.

    Let the government/s bury the government/s.

    We are alive in Christ, put away the former things, or not. The new glorified body will change one's outlook on life, or not(I have no clue who is going to get to stay and fight their own fight). I mean, I do not know if an individual is in Christ or not. Just claiming it does not stop one from lying about it.

    Haven't seen too many of your posts, but you've convinced me not to bother paying any attention to you.

    Something about your "Christian" statements rings phony to me.
