  • The Mask-Defying Church at Center of Disastrous Maine Wedding Linked to 3 Deaths, 144 Virus Cases

    Maine’s biggest COVID-19 outbreak is linked to a wedding officiated by the pastor of a distancing-defying church who says masks are part of a “socialistic platform.” Now more than 144 COVID-19 patients have been linked to the event, and three people are dead.
    Todd Bell is pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church in Sanford, Maine. Famous for flying between ministries in multiple states on his private plane (God “burdened” his heart to do airplane ministry, he says), Bell flew in to officiate a rural Maine wedding on August 7.

    That wedding is the nexus of 144 COVID-19 cases, including three that resulted in deaths, Maine officials said Friday. One of the deceased, an 83-year-old woman, did not even attend the wedding, but contracted the virus from a guest. None of this appears to be stopping Bell from doing business as usual in his church, calling on worshippers to trust “God, not government” as the pandemic progresses.
    In his sermon, Bell told worshippers to stay home if they were sick, but launched into a conspiratorial sermon denouncing vaccines and repudiating anti-coronavirus measures. He also spent part of the sermon lashing out at people who had criticized him on social media, including a person who, after observing one of his posts about flying his private plane, speculated that Bell was going to spread the disease at a casino elsewhere in Maine.

    Bell quipped that a casino would be a good place to deliberately spread COVID-19. “Gambling has killed more people and ruined more homes and destroyed more things in our society almost than liquor or pot or pornography,” Bell said, according to the Boston Globe. “Gambling is wicked.”
    Todd Bell, clown extraordinaire; Man of God and Man of the Air. Pastor of a "distancing-defying church who says masks are part of a “socialistic platform." There are limitless articles about pastor deniers, but I don't post them as I don't care to be looked at as a church basher. But these leaders need to be handed a citation for their dangerous and misinformed "healthcare guidance".

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but... God ain't savin' ya from the Corona folks... If you allow this insidious, alien bug into your tender bits, you're gonna have to deal with it as nature intended.

    • 286 deaths today. Fewest in 2 months. Still on pace for 5 million.

      • Fear mongers all last week selling 400k deaths by spring. They can't stop themselves anymore.

        • Just 4 days before Memorial Day the New England Journal of Medicine released a report stating mask wearing is a "reflexive reaction based on anxiety over the pandemic."

          The more common sense approach is to just adhere to social distancing standards, wash them hands and get a proper Zinc intake. We have stark evidence to prove this to be absolutely accurate, as the days/weeks after Memorial Day attest to.

          It's all just a lot of hot air geared toward the useful idiots in hope and prayer that they'll blame it their President. A lot of the idiots will, and do...

                If masks work then why is influenza still lethal? Lethal, that is, to the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. Just. Like. Covid.

                    You should know by now how the weekend reporting lag works. Now it's a holiday weekend. You've called the bottom on deaths prior to each surge with amazing accuracy. Time to hunker down then?

                      Key coronavirus forecast predicts over 410,000 total U.S. deaths by Jan. 1: ‘The worst is yet to come’

                      The U.S. will top more than 410,000 Covid-19 deaths by the end of the year as the country heads into the fall and winter, according to a new forecast from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

                      Covid-19 has already killed at least 186,800 people in the U.S., according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The model by IHME, whose models have previously been cited by the White House and state officials, forecasts that the death toll will more than double by Jan. 1 and could reach as high as 620,000 if statesaggressively ease coronavirus restrictions and people disregard public health guidance.

                      “The worst is yet to come. I don’t think perhaps that’s a surprise, although I think there’s a natural tendency as we’re a little bit in the Northern hemisphere summer, to think maybe the epidemic is going away,” Dr. Christopher Murray, director of IHME, told reporters on a conference call Friday.
                      This is the model the White House has been using. Do you think they'll abandon it now? I'll be honest with you, it sure seems a little heavy. I guess they know some things I don't. If it is accurate we'll have to start moving towards 2k deaths a day pretty soon. It also means the vaccine effect will be quite lagged. If 40% of the Cov/Vac-idiots don't participate in it that will help to ensure the grim forecast. I'm not looking forward to any Fall that looks like this. But keep the faith as most negative periods seem to have a capitulation point where **** gets REALLY bad right before it turns around and gets better. Maybe that's what's going to happen. Unfortunately it means people will be dying at a record pace right in the middle of a presidential election. Talk about a serious nightmare cherry on top of the **** Sundae. Hello president Biden?

                        • ‘We’re ready for you’: Message from Wichita Public Schools about first day of class on Tuesday

                          WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Wichita students and parents are getting ready for the first day of the 2020-2021 school year in Wichita Public Schools (WPS). It begins Tuesday, and it will be unlike the start of any previous school year.

                          Students in PreK through 5th grade will either be in a school classroom or learning remotely, depending on what their parent or guardian chose for them.

                          Students in 6th grade through 12th grade will have remote learning.

                          Students in the Education Imagine Academy will stay with the virtual model of learning.

                          Dr. Alicia Thompson, superintendent of WPS, posted a welcoming message on the district’s Facebook page Monday.

                          “Our goal of ensuring schools are safe places is always at the forefront,” she said.


                          Are you sure you're ready???? Those girls look HEALTHY! I mean... first one on the left is struggling to hold in her gut - or is that a baby? Who knows. El Corona loves to visit the plump folk.

                                How many times has that “model” changed and flipped back and forth?

                                Are we really trying to predict deaths from a virus if that’s actually possible? And worst of all, are we hoping these models are right so we can win a fight on an Internet forum?
