He thought the coronavirus was 'a fake crisis.' Then he contracted it.

A Florida man who thought the coronavirus was "a fake crisis" has changed his mind after he and his wife contracted COVID-19.

Brian Hitchens, a rideshare driver who lives in Jupiter, downplayed the seriousness of the coronavirus in Facebook posts in March and April.

"I'm honoring what our government says to do during this epidemic but I do not fear this virus because I know that my God is bigger than this Virus will ever be," he wrote in a post on April 2. "Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords."

In mid-April, Hitchens, 46, began documenting his and his wife's health on Facebook.

"Been home sick for over a week. Both my wife and I home sick," he wrote in a post on April 18. "I've got no energy and all I want to do is sleep."

The emptiness of Christianity in full real-world display.

It is apparent your "God" is not bigger than the virus.

He is not stronger than the virus.

He is not smarter than the virus.

If he were, the virus would not exist.

Your ignorance is astounding.

Either your "God" doesn't exist or he doesn't give a fuck about you and your wife.

Yes, you're stupid if you listen to them, but this is a major news network and the President, listening to them shouldn't get you killed.

What's crazy is even after getting sick, these people will still go to the same sources for info that gave them bad info that got them sick.
