https://bluevirginia.us/2020/03/jerry-falwell-jr-more-like-the-power-seeking-romans-than-the-christians"...in recent days, weve seen Falwells coronavirus stunt: going entirely contrary to the whole national movement to keep our distance so that the virus cant penetrate our society more fully, Falwell invited Liberty University students to return to campus. Falwells move looks clearly to be part of the right-wing spirit of defiance regarding taking seriously the pandemic that Trump has continually sought to minimize (in the belief that this would protect his re-election chances).
With that stunt, Falwell showed himself willing to endanger public health in order to strike a blow at the national effort that this President to whom Falwell has tied himself has resisted from the outset. For both Falwell and Trump, its all, ultimately, about the quest for power no matter the cost in the endangerment to human lives."
