There's still plenty of places where people are piling in and spreading germs around though.
Then they need to be threatened with the national guard also. Those people are the problem.

Other religious folk are doing the same. I wouldn't care if it just made the stupid sick, but they affect the rest of us.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran issued its most dire warning yet Tuesday about the new coronavirus ravaging the country, suggesting “millions” could die in the Islamic Republic if people keep traveling and ignore health guidance.
A state TV journalist who also is a medical doctor gave the warning only hours after hard-line Shiite faithful on Monday night pushed their way into the courtyards of two major shrines that were finally closed due to the virus. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a religious ruling prohibiting “unnecessary” travel.
Roughly 9 out of 10 of the over 18,000 confirmed cases of the virus in the Middle East come from Iran, where authorities denied for days the risk the outbreak posed.
***
Late Monday night, angry crowds stormed the courtyards of the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad and the Fatima Masumeh shrine in Qom. Many people visit the shrine in Qom 24 hours a day, seven days a week, touching and kissing the shrine.That has worried health officials, who for weeks wanted Iran’s Shiite clergy to close them.
State TV had announced the closures earlier in the day, sparking the demonstrations.
“We are here to say that Tehran is damn wrong to do that!” one Shiite cleric shouted at the shrine in Mashhad, according to online video. Others joined him in chanting: “The health minister is damn wrong to do that, the president is damn wrong to do that!”

Your grandmother would prob take offense to how you view her intelligence or lack there of. If what you say is true, that she doesnt know about Covid, then she should be in an institution. She isnt fit to live alone. Dont blame that on church or government, that falls on you and your family
It sounds like you haven’t had to deal with Dementia or early stages of Alzheimer’s
Be thankful
My Grandma is now gone but we did take her of her until the end
Not every old person has someone to take care of them

I incurred the wrath of every Pentecostal on Facebook by calling him an idiot.

I dont disagree with your assessment.
Simply asking churches to not have services during this time would eliminate a vast majority of that "problem".
Threatening to use police force or the National Guard is where you're going to have a problem.

says police showed up at the church after the service telling him the National Guard would break up any future services with more than 50 people gathered.

Aren’t airports still open? Domestic flights still going? If masses of people can still gather at airports and onto planes and travel around then why worry about a church?

“Our church is a hospital where the sick can come and get healing. Cancers are healed here, people are healed of HIV in these services, and we believe that tonight, we’re also going to pass out anointed handkerchiefs to people who may have a fear, who may have a sickness, and we believe that when those anointed handkerchiefs go, that healing virtue is going to go on them as well."
Any data back yet on whether the anointed handkerchiefs have slowed the spread of the corona?

Get a 5.00 cheese stick & 15 waters right before closing

I can’t stand people like this prick. Sounds to me like he’s more concerned about missing out on a dollar from the collection plate.
