I know one church where "nobody" will attend any services!

Blogger James said... On Easter, Trump supporters will pack churches and sit close to each other. Some people call that "culling the herd."

LOL What church is that?

As for me, I'm retired and not presently serving a church. The two churches I'm now attending are not meeting except online, because they're obeying Illinois governor Pritzker's guidelines.

Must watch TV

“The city of Miami will enact a 10 p.m. curfew starting Friday night, creating the most severe restrictions yet for the city’s more than 460,000 residents as government leaders push to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19,” the Miami Herald reports.

Pharmacists across Ohio this week provided details to the Columbus Dispatch of questionable prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine, or chloroquine, that have poured in from doctors in the past week.

The prescriptions were filed as soon as an hour after President Trump promoted them last Thursday as a possible treatment for coronavirus.

“I think the first order of business will be to get the spread of the virus under control and then resume economic activity… We’re not experts in pandemics over here. We don’t get to make that decision. I would say though that we would tend to listen to the experts. Dr. Fauci said something like the virus is going to set the timetable and that sounds right to me.”
— Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, in a NBC News interview.

Will Trump fire him?

It's a little early to start packing people into churches, Mr. President.

Whole oil prices are at all time lows. Trump intended to replenish the strategic reserve. Makes sense. $3B was allocated in the relief bill for it. Dems demanded it be removed.

Typical democrat economics. Let's wait a year and pay twice as much.

What happens if Trump tries to fire Fed chair Jerome Powell?

The Presidential Race Isn’t on Hold

“For President Trump, the power and the perils of incumbency are on full display as he seeks to steer the nation through a never-before-seen moment in modern America. He’s cast himself as a wartime president, even as he sends conflicting signals on whether his bigger priority is ending the pandemic or restarting the US economy, both of which will now undoubtedly influence his re-election,” CNN reports.

“Seven months before Election Day, the President is working overtime to build a glowing narrative about his administration’s coronavirus response.

“His rally-like rhetoric from the White House may be paying dividends — for now, at least — as three polls this week show more Americans view Trump’s handling of the crisis through a positive light than a negative one. His approval rating has ticked up. It’s an open question whether those early reviews represent more of a rallying effect, which presidents often experience during times of national emergency, or if the support will endure after the true scope of the deadly outbreak is fully known.”

Good point. The coronavirus is neither a Republican nor a Democrat.

As for me, I'm retired

If you say so!

The Social Security Administration says so.

The Pension Fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) says so.

Kidding aside, I hope the President will not continue encouraging people to pack churches on Easter. Experts fear that could lead to a spike in both the number of cases and the number of deaths.
