Health Editor’s Note: Preachers are suing to be able to gather people together and insure the congregations either infect others, become infected, or both with COVID-19. I ask, what is the purpose of gathering people together to listen to someone speak about…well, whatever is going to be said? Words spoken from a pulpit are not going to protect people from COVID-19 nor cure them of having it.
Governors who place stay-at-home orders and then extend those orders are doing what is best for the state. The governors are waging a battle against more COVID-19 viral infections and deaths. The battle with COVID-19 is a waiting game. Waiting to see who gets it, where it spreads, now many it will infect and how many it will eventually kill. Best guesses are made as to how reopening the state will progress but when you are still seeing new cases and deaths from COVID-19, that is a clear sign that this virus is not taking a rest from creating havoc and taking lives.
Governors who extend dates for reopening are not being tyrannical, they are simply trying to save human lives, even when this is not meeting the approval of those who think prayer will prevent/cure COVID-19. By the way, Gordon says he does not give a fuck because it would take a howitzer to take him out. That being said, Gordon is not protesting stay at home orders and sees the reason (s) for them…Carol
Church Leaders Sue Michigan Governor Whitmer Over Coronovirus Stay-At-Home Order
by Meghan Roos/Newsweek
Three church leaders joined a small group in suing Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer Wednesday over her recent extensions of the statewide stay-at-home order.
Filed by Great Lakes Justice Center (GLJC) on behalf of three pastors, three churches and one individual, the lawsuit alleged Whitmer’s executive orders prevented the free exercise of religion granted by both the federal and state constitutions.
“The Constitution does not become irrelevant during any emergency, including a pandemic,” GLJC said in a Wednesday news release. “Just because a governor has ink in her pen does not mean the Constitution authorizes her to use it, notwithstanding good intentions.”

Adrian, But COVID-19 is spread only by humans…Since the whole world does not understand or really practice not being around others in order to not continually spread this very infectious virus, the only way left is to keep people away from other people. Basically people do not understand the seriousness of this viral infection and look at the numbers that are dead from it. People in general have not be taught the risks of using masks, gloves, etc. without constantly changing them. We do not have supplies to adequately protect us and others against viral infection. This is not the typical, yearly flu, this is not a virus with a cure, this is not a virus with prevention against it other than to not spread it. Other than the Spanish flu which was devastating, we have not seen a pandemic to rival this. All I can say at this point is that COVID-19 (if it had intent) is seriously trying to take out humans and destroy life as we have come to know it. Personally I get anxious when going into a store for food and also food for the pets. Getting in and out as quickly as possible is all that is on my mind, that and not handling anything that would have the virus lurking on it, and that can be absolutely anything. I also have visions of it in the air…..One can understand people who have agoraphobia. Carol
Adrian, We are questioning the numbers that Sweden is sharing. Everyone comes to the U.S. from all over the world. These travelers were not being quarantined when getting off of planes. These travelers Were not being tested. I suspect that Sweden has not had the influx of people from other parts of the world that the U.S. has. Also all people are not paying attention to the stay-in-place orders. We have constant movement of people from state to state and not self-quarantining when they arrive in the new state. For all the protesting that goes on, we are not as shut down as other countries have been. Not hearing about fines for being out or having to carry papers to show you are going somewhere necessary.The U.S. is also not being aggressive with testing. We are only testing those with symptoms and then maybe family members of those who test positive. It is a clear fact that one can be infected with COVID-19 and have no symptoms but yet they are shedding the virus in leaps and bounds…..This is horrible for the entire world, and to pick apart who is doing what or who is not doing something is a total waste of energy…We, as in all humans on this earth, are in this together…..we sink or swim together. Right now the U.S. is not doing a smashing job of swimming. Perhaps politics has not paid a part in Swedish addressing COVID-19. That cannot be said for here. ….Carol
