sending them back to their churches and letting their pastors care for them would be the best option.

Question #1: Do you believe in medical advice and the germ-theory of disease, where bacteria, viruses and other small molecules known as "pathogens" contribute to and cause human illness?

Question #2: Do you understand what COVID-19 is and that it is spreading unchecked at the moment due to widespread failure of the populace to apply appropriate prophylaxis measures?

Question #3 (if "no" was response to either 1 or 2): Would you please go find a spot in the parking garage to lie down and pray for a cure? You are ineligible for admission to this facility. Have a nice day.

and take up beds of sane, non-selfish people who will need them, when they get sick or injured from other causes. And, what about the doctors, nurses, and other health care workers who have to be exposed to these fucks? You okay with them getting sick and dying?

I don't have a lot of sympathy for them spreading disease among each other, either. I just just wish they didn't take others out with them.

I hate to generalize, and there are some nice folks living there, but Oklahoma is one of the most BACKWARDS and racist places I've EVER been in my life.

The backwardness and racism there is indescribable and exhausting, which is why relatives have just about gotten out of there, and moved elsewhere. I have many acres of land there I've been trying to sell for YEARS and the hoops I've had to go through to sell this land has been something that I cannot describe.

Money is the reason these churches are not closing down and they use the bullshit religious freedom argument to justify their greed.

From the very beginning of this pandemic, church services and activities have been identified as major contributors to the spread of the virus.
