As I drove home from our three-man team online worship service last night, April 5, 2020, I listened to a broadcaster cite some current statistics. He said that the model used by both Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx has predicted that, with strict quarantining protocols, we would have 160,000 Americans in the hospital with Chinese Coronavirus by April 4th. The numbers as of last night were closer to 22,000. This morning I noticed that Google’s main screen opened with a cartoon depicting a bell curve of what was supposed to happen versus what has happened and celebrating the much lower numbers. The news has reported that Washington State is returning 400 ventilators because we are not going to need them. The hospital ship deployed to New York is traveling elsewhere because it is not needed there.
I am saddened by the numbers of people who have and will die because of this virus, but it has not been the crisis we were warned of. The crisis is still to come.
On the one hand, will be the economic crisis driven by forcing almost the entire world into quarantine. This closely followed by the government’s incentive checks American families will receive and the forgivable business loans the US government is about to force upon American businesses. The fact is America is broke. We are so far in debt that it is questionable whether we can ever pay it off. We float on phony money and, I think, the world’s willingness to profit off this sinking vessel.
On the other hand, is the crisis that will happen once we are let free. Our immune systems, already weakened by generations of processed foods and poor exercise, has been further weakened by this so-called social distancing,[1] is bound to experience another wave of the virus compounded by various other illnesses brought in by exposure to the germs of people we have not interacted with in weeks, maybe months. What? Are we going to live in isolation for the rest of our lives?
We have been duped. We have allowed fear, amped up by the mainstream media, to drive us to our demise.
We have got to repent. We have got to turn to the Lord and trust Him for life so long as He wills it. Then we have got to live to His glory and in His power.
