That’s actually a good example: just as economists can’t predict where the stock market will be tomorrow, but can build models predict returns on over the next thirty years, compare them for accuracy, and then build better models, epidemiology predicts populations not individuals

The models they built for R0 = 3.5 w/ variable presentation such that many folk are asymptomatic carriers for significant periods of time but others suffer respiratory failure is… a very scary model. And it fits the data quite well!

It is legitimately very challenging for a pastor to keep people's spirits up and maintain a smart of community when the material situation has upended everyone's routine A GOOD pastor tries to MEET that challenge, he doesn't just ignore it and get people killed

The infection is directly spread by gatherings of people in close physical proximity inhaling each other's germs This is a known fact There is no morale boost from holding a physical service that could possibly cancel out the predictable increase in infections afterwards

Goddamn people always get philosophical and poetic about this shit just to admit they don't actually believe in these particular physical facts "Is material life meaningful without spiritual life" bullshit You wouldn't say that about people taking physical risks you understand

If I started a church and told everyone to jump off a bridge to prove God loves them and will protect them you wouldn't praise me for my spiritual leadership you'd call for me to be arrested
