CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The United House of Prayer For All People in north Charlotte has now been linked to over 100 confirmed COVID-19 cases and at least three deaths, according to Mecklenburg County Deputy Health Director Dr. Raynard Washington.
Washington announced Friday that a super-spreader event at the church earlier this month has resulted in 101 confirmed cases of coronavirus, with 99 of those being in Mecklenburg County and two in Iredell County. So far, three people have died from the virus linked to the event. Two of those victims were over the age of 60, according to Washington.
We have free will. We, supposedly, have the ability to look at a situation and decide what is the safest and sanest course of action. Going into a crowded church during a pandemic isn't a test of fealty to Thine Dear and Fluffy Lord, it's a test of stupidity.
It's like the "two boats and a helicopter" joke. Maybe, sometimes, the Lord works in mysterious ways. But when faced with a pandemic and given the knowledge of how to be safe during it, sometimes, things ain't that fucking mysterious.
Like Blue Girl said on Twitter, a mask isn't a political statement, it's an IQ test.

I first heard that story in connection with flooding in Salt Lake. It went from truck to boat to helicopter as the water rose...;-)
