Alabama church revival results in dozens of coronavirus cases

More than 40 members of a church in rural Alabama have tested positive for coronavirus after attending a mutli-day revival festival.

The revival included a number of religious services which were held over multiple days last week. The pastor of Warrior Creek Missionary Baptist Church, Daryl Ross, said the virus had impacted nearly the totality of his congregation.

“The whole church has got it, just about,” Mr Ross – who also tested positive for the virus – told AL.com.

The church normally has an attendance between 80 and 100 members.

I'm referencing the crazy Ohio woman who declared on CNN that she wouldn't get infected because she was covered in Jesus blood.

If we could limit the virus to willing participants that would not be so bad. unfortunately that's not so easy with an airborne virus.
