    Church landlord changes locks after pastor said he'd continue holding services

    It looks like the landlord was on the right side of the law after all:

    Medical group endorses anti-malarial drug treatment for coronavirus patients

    If a patient cannot be helped by any medical means we currently have, and is probably dying either way, I have no objections to them being given that drug. At that point, when you've exhausted all the available techniques and medications, you have nothing to lose. However, I don't think it...

    Coronavirus kills its first democracy

    I don't think many would've considered Hungary a showcase of democracy even before the coronavirus outbreak. There is a long history of malignant socialism and fascism which has been creeping back even though Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are gone. It's a gorgeous country with friendly...

    Baby lost to coronavirus

    In this case, they are unsure whether the baby actually caught the coronavirus from the COVID19-positive mother, or whether her illness triggered premature labor which resulted in death. However there have been stories of infants catching the disease. It isn't clear whether it was passed on in...

    Christian view on dietary restrictions

    What is the Christian view on dietary restrictions? In Islam, we have rules about which foods are safe and wholesome to eat (halal) and foods which are forbidden (haram), such as pork products and alcohol. There is Koranic justification for following a halal diet (Surah 2:173), so it transcends...

    Could this be the final disproving of a higher being?

    I should hope people in paradise will have better things to do than worry about their body fat percentages!

    Baby lost to coronavirus

    Abortion isn't the answer. That escalates the baby's situation from risky to 100% fatal. What is needed is more stringent measures to protect pregnant women and their family members who share the home. Babies are not at risk if the mother can avoid catching the disease. Hopefully all expectant...

    Baby lost to coronavirus

    Even more reason to be careful, because the unborn are potentially being infected or lost when their mothers get sick with this disease. I've heard everyone should act as if they have the virus and cover their faces accordingly in public. That's probably wise until there is a vaccine or treatment.

    ever wonder how the simpsons predict so much stuff that came true

    Well, the show has been on since 1989 and done nearly 700 episodes, so it's likely they touched on just about every topic. It is funny they predicted Trump, but they probably just picked the most bizarre and unlikely person to win. If you had asked me who was the most bizarre choice to be used...

    Anybody else envy of the wealthy and powerful?

    I don't envy them, because I think money is a corrupting influence. Look at who the rich are. Kim Kardashian. Donald Trump. Mark Zuckerberg. Have you ever seen them smile when it wasn't for a photo op? Do you ever hear them talk about spiritual fulfilment, their love for their creator, or an...

    Wearing a facemask whilst black?

    That's terrible. No one should have to worry that protecting themselves from a deadly virus could put them at risk for being shot! I'm not sure what I would do in the situation, except pick out the least threatening cloth mask you can find/make. It would be suicidal to go out without a mask...

    Coronavirus and the Newest Snake-Handlers

    At least snake handlers only risk their own lives. Religious and secular groups that insist on continuing in-person meetings are endangering everyone else, and will have blood on their hands for the deaths of people they infected. I've read the Bible, the Koran, the Bhagavad Gita, and even some...

    The After Effects of 2020

    Perhaps all the desperate stories of hard-working people drowning in medical debt as a result of coronavirus will convince the country we desperately need universal health care. The spread of this disease is surely exacerbated by the fact many people cannot afford testing and many others, even...

    Life may never get back to normal after CV

    I don't think life ever goes back to normal after a major event like this. Even personal traumas change you forever, and this will has already been going on for months, getting scarier by the day. I think we'll be able to have healthy, happy lives, but I hope we're more compassionate and...

    Church landlord changes locks after pastor said he'd continue holding services

    I agree with the landlord here. We can't allow simple minded people to be led by unscrupulous pastors into infecting themselves and making others sick. In psychiatric circles, people who are perceived to be a danger to themselves or others are usually forcibly hospitalized for their own good and...

    Hydoxychlorquinine does not appear to be an answer:

    Yes, I think there will be more studies, and that is really what's needed to know for sure. It's interesting the drug isn't an anti-viral but maybe does something to the ACE2 receptors, which seems to be what the virus latches onto. I think we need to move on though and be trying more remedies...

    Tiger at NYC's Bronx Zoo tests positive for coronavirus

    I wonder what this means in terms of zoonosis spreading! If tigers can catch it, can they pass it on? Can housecats?

    Hydoxychlorquinine does not appear to be an answer:

    It looks like the study involved only 11 participants, mostly men, 8 of whom had serious pre-existing conditions that "are associated with poor outcomes"; 5 had cancer, 1 had HIV, several were obese. I'm not sure a tiny study like that provides a lot of useful information. We know men are much...

    Gates Explains How His Foundation Can Help Speed Up Vaccine Production

    What do you recommend for those with compromised immune systems due to chronic illness or prescribed medications? I know many people age 3-20 with compromised immune systems. I knew one person who died of the disease and was in her first year of college. Vaccines save lives. When there is...

    People refusing to social distence and virus treatment

    I agree wholeheartedly with severe punishment for those who flout the restrictions for foolish reasons. I think they should be tracked, and if anyone sickens as a result of their selfish idiocy, they should be required to pay all medical bills. If anyone dies because of coronavirus exposure due...
