Kentucky governor Andy Beshear urged last week for church services to be canceled statewide amid the coronavirus pandemic. A church in Murray went against the suggestion, and a visitor at Sunday’s service has now tested positive for COVID-19.

University Church of Christ in Murray advised its congregation, which included around 150 people Sunday, to self-quarantine for the next 10 days, it said in a since-deleted Facebook post. The person diagnosed with coronavirus is not from Murray, the church said.

Friday, the Calloway County Health Department announced it has its first coronavirus case in the county, which Murray is a part of.

The person who was diagnosed in Calloway County spent time with the church visitor, according to WPSD-TV. The infected woman works at Murray-Calloway County Hospital, the TV station reported.

1. Fucking morons.

[gratuitous]

2. Jesus warned you

Do not put the Lord your God to the test.

I hope anyone infected because of this bonehead play makes a full recovery.

3. I'm not going to spare a thought for anyone who acted selfishly like this and gets spanked by fate.

I will save all my spare thoughts for the people who will subsequently be harmed by this act of selfishness, despite themselves having acted in a socially responsible manner.

4. What part of the Bible....

....Does it advise or instruct one to ignore wisdom?

5. Hmmm why would they delete the fb message ? Have they no faith in the lord's plan ?

They may have been chosen by him as an example of what not to do .
That may be a sacrifice he is asking of the congregation.
Sad the person who spent time with the church visitor works @a hospital

9. Or

The church member could have picked up the virus at the hospital. May have no relation to the church.

Folks- it’s a disease, and a very large number of Americans are going to get it. Let’s stop blaming anybody anywhere once they become infected. Let’s just all do what we can to not do the same ourselves, let’s try and flatten the curve from this point forward, and let’s try to care for one another as best we can, ok?

10. But the 150 church attendees now have a relation to the person who tested positive by gathering

in a large group for service together after advice was given by the Kentucky governor not to do that no matter where it was started.
I don’t see why they chose now to hide fb postings they made in sincere faith
It could serve as a heads up to others to listen to expert advice and that may have been their role in the long plan to offer as an example . Now the church has erased that good example.

8. No worries. God is bigger than any virus

No virus can weigh 239 lbs

11. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. n/t

[ooky]

12. And this is why it has to be mandatory.

If it was mandatory, the church pastor could now go to jail.

13. If these dipshits want to meet God early

By all means go for it and meet him early
