VP Pence urges Americans to avoid church services of more than 10 people

[essentialsaltes]

Vice President Pence urged Americans to avoid church services of more than 10 people as some faith leaders have come under scrutiny for holding crowded events despite social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

"We're so grateful to churches and synagogues and places of worship around America that have heeded the president's coronavirus guidelines for America," he said in an interview with ABC News's "Nightline" that will air Wednesday night, referring to federal guidelines encouraging people to practice "social distancing."

"We really believe this is a time when people should avoid gatherings of more than 10 people," he added, according to an excerpt shared by the network. "And so, we continue to urge churches around America to heed to that."

How about we keep one thing clear here though. I think it's very, very rare to see any church in America still holding services. Probably not even 1 % and a great deal below that. So over 99% compliance...let's just not make it seem any less than that.

Not saying your wrong, but do you have anything to back that up beside your personal experience?

Unless it is less than that, of course.

I'd be inclined to agree with Bobber. But yeah, I'd REALLY like to see an exact percentage...more for curiousity's sake than to bash bobber though.

If they shut down gym's, casino's, theaters etc, churches should be shut down also. It isn't about the use of the venue, but the crowds.

Props to the VP

Liberal! Heretic! Traitor!
Did I miss one?

The governor of this great state, Texas, signed an executive order recently basically authorizing churches to assemble again. Honestly, we should still be able to do this anyway without an executive order. Anyone who is sick with anything contagious should stay home to prevent infecting other people. This should just be a way of life, but should not interrupt the lives of everyone who is healthy.

For the umpteenth time. People can be affected and have no initial symptoms but still be contagious.

Infected?

Same with the cold and the flu, yet we don't go all chicken little and tank the economy every cold and flu season.

The bible supports quarantine and isolation of infected individuals that could infect others. With the corona virus you can APPEAR healthy for up to 14 days, while you are contagious and spreading the virus to others. Since we are not able to determine who is sick, then it is not wise to assemble anyone. I believe God can heal and provide wisdom for curing sickness, but Christians are not exempt from the laws of how the world works. Christians catch the flu every year just like everyone else. We have diseases and die from them just like everyone else. It is folly to believe otherwise. I'm still going to pray Psalm 91 and trust in God to keep me safe, but I'm also I'm going to do my part to take what precautions I can to protect myself and others. IMO, we should see it as a duty to keep others, especially our Elders (Wisdom) safe. Faith without works is dead.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says he didn't know asymptomatic people could transmit coronavirus


If Georgia can figure it out, how long before Texas does?

As Gomer would say.

Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya.

Yes, I know how they are spread, but if you think I am going to give anything put out by VOX any kind of respect I have some beachfront property in Nevada to sell you.

Most folks in the bible who resist knowledge and wisdom are destroyed or perish. In fact warnings regarding wisdom or lack thereof is abundant. It's a personal choice though, so best of luck to you and yours. No one can say they weren't warned. The info and best practices to protect ourselves has been available for months. Those who have ears to hear, eyes to see and all that...

I couldn't believe this when I read it. Folks have been hounding Kemp for weeks trying to get him to act, and he hasn't even been paying attention.

There were over a thousand deaths in the last 24 hours from COVID19.
Don’t try to minimize this.

That has got to be the all time stupid comment ever made.
