They keep saying that people are testing positive with Coronavirus but have no symptoms...

I wonder if instead of saying that healthy people have all things and their immune systems are working which is why they have no symptoms..they try to make it seem like the virus is some sort of weird mutation virus that can get anyone anytime? And now it can reinfect you somehow now? Because people are tired of staying home on this..so they have to keep trying to find ways to keep the fear going.
That's a good point. I haven't seen this mentioned in the news.

They're even trying to get people to turn on one another by having them snitch. By scaring those into believing it can return, and it's a mutation.

Went to the grocery store again yesterday, and it's safe to say that 9 out of 10 here are just moving around normally without any safeguards at all. None of the workers were wearing anything, although plexiglass shields had been erected at the checkouts. They had a guy wipimg down cart handles as people came in before they took a cart. And they were hiring, too. I had on an N-95 and I saw some others with masks, but for the most part nobody wore anything-it was business as usual and business was good-hence the hiring sign.

If god is responsible for curing the virus. God is responsible for causing it.
I gave it some thought and wanted to ask in this form if you don’t mind answering.

Imagine a parent raising 2 children. Both were instilled good values, morals, loved unconditionally, and shown respect. Once they’re old enough they go out on their own, get their own world views, develop their own way of life, etc. One day one of the kids, now an adult, crosses the street without looking both ways and BOOM, gets hit by a car. Unbeknownst to him, the driver was his sibling. Who’s to blame?

I would not have pegged you for that.
If you know anything about me from being on here, you'll know I really couldn't give af what other people think. I gotta go for myself. Plus nobody gives you a second look now cause of a mask. I'm a smoker and I'm not trying to catch any of that sh*t. Flu, typhoid, ebola, whatever. So it would be kinda dumb for me not to wear it when I had a brand new one here. And at least I was wearing the best mask option available, if that's any kind of status symbol these days... :cool::)

Both of the kids are to blame.

But this is a false equivalence.

I personally do not believe god is involved in the minutiae of human lives at all. But if we are going to praise god for things improving then we have to blame him for the problem to begin with. If he actually meddles to that extent then he either caused it or refused to meddle earlier. Which isn’t a very loving thing to do either way.

@UnderAlienControl we just went out to pick up food from one of our favorite places about a half hour away.. tons of cars out and about, even more so then normal. Saw a police officer go in the store with no mask. Lots of people with no masks.

Yeah, I get that. I just didn't think you'd be that concerned.

To each his own, that's what I say. But people don't look at you twice now if you're wearing one (cause some people have to wear them bcause underlying problems,) so for me it's like Pascal's Wager: you lose nothing personally by believing in precaution. But to unbelieve could cost you everything personally. So for now at least, I'll believe in the mask. I mean, I've been quarantining at home anyway, eating no takeout, so it would then be pretty dumb to go around a crowd without using the N95 that I happened to have.

Yeah, I get that. I just didn't think you'd be that concerned.
I just figure why take a chance when the only place I'm going is to that store and back? Better safe than sorry. Plus our state was a bit late to the party, and after what I witnessed yesterday, I don't know that the peak is even remotely here yet. We're supposed to be on curfew and all that, but I'm not sure how well that's really flying here. The weather is great and it's got that whole 'Mayor in Jaws' feel to it right now. I believe the Governer just canned school for May. But the beach business gotta be feeling the pain.

The kid who didn’t look before he crossed the road is to blame.

God is involved in human lives..He would like to be asked to be in your life.

Why would He be blamed for any problems? That doesn’t make sense, just because He can bring good out of a problem doesn’t mean He caused the problem in the first place.

He is loving, if you want help, ask Him, He will help. That is a loving God.

So, He's a narcissist?

How does that make God a narcissist?

He’s respectful and come into your life when asked...and He will help you.

he’s trump.

None of the responsibility or blame. All of the praise.

(And yes the narcissist label applies to both)
