What do WE have to lose if wingnut churches expose their multitudes to virus?

[Grasswire2]

I know that's callous.

I wonder why it doesn't occur to his strategists that his move could kill off part of his base.

[Brainfodder]

1. Ummmmmm

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Everything.

They travel...

The truck driver that delivers their Amazon packages travels and works with others that do...

If ONE state has the virus in a big way and does not do the right thing we will eventually ALL have it.

But I dont disagree with the sentiment that people who KNOWINGLY infect others we could do without.

[StarryNite]

3. The problem is they will spread it to the rest of us before they die.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. Are you serious?

[Arkansas Granny]

5. If those wingnuts are infected, they will likely spread that infection to others in their communitie

[jpak]

6. More community spread beyond the stupid churches

Responsible people sick and dead

[hlthe2b]

7. Our HCW's, grocery workers, EMT's and others who respond to assist them...

and others who are subsequently infected by extended contact to one or more of them.

8. Hopefully there will be a waiver passed around the pews

that says, because they must believe COVID is fake news, they will forego any medical treatment related to the virus.

[Hekate]

9. I'd love to go out in public (in a mask) without some jerk coughing on me & making me sick

I'd love to pick up some takeout food not handed off to me by a prayerful, but contagious, person.

My cynical and bitter side wants Trump to go right ahead and hold his moronic rallies -- but his cultists will disperse back into the general population, which includes me, an older and at-risk woman.

10. They'll spread it throughout the rest of the community.

If they could be quarantined for a couple of weeks after each service the rest of us would be protected, but what will happen is that they'll just go back and wander around their towns, crowding into stores and bars and restaurants and not wearing masks.

[captain queeg]

11. 1. They spread it. 2. Many won't get sick or display symptoms

And that will embolden them to think god is protecting them.

[Coventina]

12. They will use up the medical resources that responsible people need.

If they want to meet in their churches, they need to stay there and not go back out into the community.

[Chainfire]

13. Trump and his allies

Are trying to enact "herd immunity" as quickly as possible. People can decide for themselves whether they wan't to join the herd or protect themselves. It is a sad state of affairs.

[elias7]

14. I have to take care of them in the ER and put myself at greater risk

The more patients with COVID, the more chaotic, the more likely I will make some mistake with my PPE and get infected.

[Bettie]

15. THey are also the people who refuse to wear masks,

take no precautions and cough on people to be "funny".

[MerryBlooms]

16. Perhaps a million of amazing beautiful people who are loved

and cherished by family and friends. These churches are not islands, and their spread will not be contained to their churches.

[lostnfound]

17. You should delete this.

We aren’t like them. Anyway, we lose friends, cousins, brothers, parents, neighbors, and fellow human beings.

[Skittles]

18. it's not just callous, it is very ugly

these folk have family, friends
