"The other thing that we talked about with the elders was if we defy this and if we say we’re going to meet anyway, we run the risk of exposing people to this illness needlessly. And why would we want to do that? Because this is a health issue, this is a health crisis. And since like any church, many of the people in our church are older. We wouldn’t want to expose them to that. We’ve only had, as far as I know, and this was up to yesterday, we’ve only had one couple in our church in the Spanish ministry who actually got the coronavirus. But that couple, and not an older couple either, wound up in the hospital because it was such a virulent experience for them."

So far, they have gone 0 for 6.✓

Since Election Day, President Trump has repeatedly claimed that a broad conspiracy of misdeeds — apparently committed in both Republican and Democratic states — had cost him the election.

“WATCH FOR MASSIVE BALLOT COUNTING ABUSE,” Trump tweeted Tuesday, the latest in a series of missives in which he has made misleading claims about the vote. Trump’s campaign has encouraged donors to contribute to a legal-defense fund [ ] so he can fight the cases in court....

 Dr Anthony Fauci has served under six presidents as the leader of America's response to infectious diseases, but none so unique as Donald Trump....

DR ANTHONY FAUCI, ...: Well, it is going to be a gradual process. Vaccinations will start in December, very likely some time a bit before the Christmas holidays.

The thing that we have been dealing with in this country is a vaccine hesitancy or people really being sceptical about getting vaccinated.

That is pretty much overcome when you get a vaccine of such high degree of efficacy as the Pfizer vaccine which is 90 plus, closer to 95 per cent efficacious. I think those types of numbers, with no concerning safety signal, hopefully will get many, many more people than you would have predicted get vaccinated....

ANTHONY FAUCI: You know, I have been talking about this now for a very long period of time and that is an adherence, essentially, uniformly throughout the country of universal wearing of masks, keeping physical distance, avoiding congregated settings or crowds particularly indoor and trying to do things more outdoors versus indoors, washing of hands....

Though Joe Biden is a much more personable, morally acceptable person than Trump, I think the article just doesn't recognize how inspirational Trump was to many of us to vote for Biden

Trump certainly wouldn't hire him.

Biblically speaking he isn't far off, though.

Psalms 90:10-13

10. The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away. 11. Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? 12. So teach us to count our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. 13. Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!---WEB

'Official death' of one country, two systems

The move is likely to increase concerns in the West about the level of Hong Kong's autonomy, promised under a "one country, two systems" formula when Britain ended its colonial rule and handed Hong Kong back to China in 1997.

"We can no longer tell the world that we still have one country, two systems. This declares its official death," Democratic Party chairman Wu Chi-Wai told a news conference which started with all opposition legislators holding hands....

Key points:

• Dr Fauci said controlling America's worsening coronavirus outbreak was not impossible but becoming more and more difficult
• He said lockdowns should only be a last resort
• But he was hopeful a substantial proportion of the US population would be vaccinated by May next year....

"Once you get most of the country vaccinated, then the degree of infection in the country will be very low and you could get back to some sort of normality," he said....

Just from what I've read I don't have a feeling he believes in forcing vaccinations.

But even if everyone got a vaccine that effective, 1 out of 10 people wouldn't be protected against COVID-19. And it's impossible to know for certain who is protected until an infection proves they're not.

That's why experts say that roughly 70% of the population will need to be vaccinated to provide so-called herd immunity – enough protection to interrupt the chain of transmission and protect the vast majority of people....

With measles, which is more contagious than COVID-19, that figure is about 90%, and there have been outbreaks in recent years in communities where the vaccination rate has fallen below that level....
