Florida Megachurch Packed with Worshipers During Coronavirus Pandemic

[RandySF]

This is the clear and present danger ... people continuing to congregate -- squeezing into close quarters like sardines -- and that's exactly what happened Sunday at a Florida Church.

The River Church in Tampa was packed to the gills with worshipers who clearly were looking for hope. Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne, who presides over the megachurch and has been reportedly defiant over social distancing, has claimed he'll cure coronavirus just the way he did with Zika.

The Pastor has peddled ridiculous theories in the past, but this takes the cake.

The scariest part ... all these people showed up elbow-to-elbow. If they contract the disease, they are the ones most likely to spread it, because they are clearly not practicing or understanding social distancing.

4. New coronavirus cluster linked to South Korean church

While South Korea is held as an example for how to control the spread, the one area that has continued to have hotspots are certain church groups that continued to congregate as COVID-19 spread.

A new coronavirus cluster linked to a South Korean religious group emerged on Monday, with 46 cases at a church near Seoul that defied calls to suspend services.

The Grace River Church in Seongnam, south of the capital, finally closed its doors on Sunday after nearly a third of its 135 worshippers tested positive -- including the pastor and his wife.

It continued holding services despite repeated government requests for the public to avoid group activities, including religious meetings.

Forty infections had been newly confirmed among the congregation, Seongnam city authorities said, adding to six previously known.

8. Got to collect that money from all those suckers

Since uh, you know, no bailout money for the evangelicals. Notice how easter was only "delayed" not cancelled. Tells you a lot about how these people think. A lot. "Herd em in boys and pass those collection plates around."
