DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) — Durham County officials announced Monday evening that a Durham church event was linked to multiple positive COVID-19 cases.

More infected because stupid people just can't follow simple instructions - STAY AT HOME.
or maybe its because...
...because they were following instructions!
Quotes from Trump himself downplaying the seriousness of the virus are too numerous to mention...but here's a small sampling of the calibre of his prominent mentally-challenged apologists:
(The following is not mere hearsay. I myself actually saw the following live as I was watching Fox News):
A while back I came across this video. I am thinking of seeding it. (because its not current I can't seed it as current news, so under what category shall I place it? I suppose it can be considered humor-- in one sense it is totally hilarious:
They are imbeciles. They would risk themselves and others just so they can get a little "jesus".
NC Governor issued a "Stay-at-home" order just as virtually every other Governor has. These people couldn't do something that simple.
And the Preacher is defying the legal order not to gather so that he can continue to 'get a little money'.
Yes, MSNBC has a constant loop of last month in their feeble attempt to assess blame rather than further information, but have fun with the oldies.
Nope. Cant rule out the greed.
Could 'the infected' have been short on faith?
Or were they just 'stupid people' because they attended?
Or was 'the event' some sort of protest against some sort of ideology by the attendees?
Or was the church association and pastor in need of 'donations?
There are many things that could be considered here.
Or maybe it's "god's will/plan?"
Yes.
I'll bet some may have thought instructions to avoid large gatherings was an infringement on their religious freedom. There's a similar story about a Pastor in (I think) New Orleans who blatantly disobeys that warning and purposefully holds sermons.
Probably.
I think it can all be summed up by what you said before, 'stupid people.'
I get the whole First Amendment issue because I don't believe the Constitution has been suspended (or has it?)
Clergy are supposed to lead and protect their flocks. This narcissistic show man needs to feel that power instead of actually caring about his parishioners. If he had any critical thinking skills or an ounce of compassion he would have set up on-line services and canceled the mass gathering.
This preacher was not a Good Shepherd caring for his flock
Indeed. Other churches are broadcasting their services. Some clergy even offer "drive thru" services. And what about the parishioners? They're just as bad for gathering agains advice or declaration in the 1st place.
Thank you.
There's no cure for "Stuck on Stupid"!
I don't know this for sure, as I haven't been out and about. Home improvement stores are crowded and our governor has threatened to shut them down if Home Depot and Lowe's don't put social distancing into place.
The only thing I can figure, is a lot of people have time on their hands, with a promise of government money on the way. I suppose they need to install additional shelving for all their toilet paper and hand sanitizer and other doomsday necessities. Beats me!
Yeah. People have time on their hands. People are anticipating a 'cash influx', spending it instead of saving it---while not knowing the possibility of an uneven future awaiting them.
This too. America has changed. It continues to believe itself invincible.
In my area, people have a sense of this being something akin to 2008, which had limited impact... due to the business makeup. I don't think people have absorbed the long term dramatic changes that could be taking place.
Lots of those "Honey Do" lists have come back to life.
I've got 13 left on my list having competed 33 since moving back to the States.
Since you're almost done, I'll send you my address and you can come and finish mine
While you play golf? Ahem.....
Modern day Tom Sawyer are we now.....?
BTW.... Last time we talked you were heading to the driving range to get ready for a tourney.…. How'd you do at tourney?
I'm impressed. I haven't even started.
My better half is a great motivator....!
Just easier to do it than listen to the nagging, eh?
Yeah....Mr Giggles is the nagger in our house
Praise the Lord, and pass the infection!
Either that-- or "Pass the Toilet Paper"!
