ST. LOUIS – An outbreak of Covid-19 at a summer camp near Branson, Missouri continues to spread.

There are 82 campers and workers who have been infected. The number of infected has grown from 49 on Friday to 82 Monday. State health officials said they were working closely with the camp.

He thinks most, if not all, the infected young people will survive and be fine. He worries they could infect the vulnerable, like grandparents when they get home.

1. Were it not for the inflammatory response cases, summer camps for the kids might be great

Kids at home all summer, there’s risk associated with all outings to them bringing the illness silently home. If NONE infected at beginning of camp, a nice carefree break for both parents and kids.

But if some kids end up unlucky with the inflammatory syndrome, way too risky.

2. Running a summer camp during a pandemic is criminal

What is wrong with these people (parents included)?

4. Same with open schools very similar will happen. Happened in South Korea in China in France

3. But let's open up all the damn schools, anything Trump request should be resisted

5. "He thinks"

Well, that's useful and optimistic, huh?

We will wait and see on that. There is too much false optimism being spread around and we know what that's about.

6. Who the hell thought "Sure we'll open summer camp...no problem"!

Dangerous fucking idiots

7. Stupid idiots. Oh, we'll be careful! Oh, we'll check everyone's temperatures (not a good...

indicator as some seem to think). My sister's kid (my niece) pulled her two kids out of summer camp when two of their kids tested positive for the CV. So far, all is good (the two kids are negative) and they live in the Joplin area too (which is near the Branson MO area).

Idiots. Why in the world are they having this mass gatherings of people still? My niece pulled her kids out over 1.5 months ago (summer school) and they haven't been back yet. I think (and I agree w/ her decision) that they are going to wait a year or so to go back to things such as summer school, camp, etc., until rump is out of office and we have a more firmer hand on the CV.

9. JimBakker's ministry is v close to Branson. He has studios, auditoriums, RV grounds, cabins, condos,

The views available at the ministry web page reveal a very large comples

The cabins, condos are to rent or buy

Lately he's been calling for bible believing christians to move permanently ti his site together they will pray and wait for the Second Coming of Jesus and for the Rapture. All the while he will be teaching them out of the book of Revelation. Accordubg to Lori, his wife of 20 years, he spent his 5 years in orison studying that book 24/7

10. Silver Dollar City, a gigantic amusement park(near Branson) fav of Evangelicals

It's become a family-safe, family-centered vacation destination for conservative christians. I don't believe it started out that way, but over the years more and more christian groups set up displays, theaters, etc

When Jan and Paul Crouch of TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network)were still alive, they had annual get-togethers there. IIRC, some years they broadcast their Christmas program from Silver Dollar City

16. I had no idea about this. I went to SDC when I was a kid but it was rustic back then.

I found some old family films (not my family) at Youtube which showed what it looked like in the 70's. When I looked at the current pictures I was floored. Waayyyy different now.
