Let's not.

If you've published this, you should take it down, and replace it with a link to the CDC. The best thing to do during a pandemic, when you don't know what you're talking about, is to point folks to people who do.

Why is this logically fallacious? Computer experts I've spoken to generally agree this is more or less exactly what happened with Y2K.

There have been a number of alarmingly bad takes from Christians on the coronavirus, such as Sye ten Bruggencate's rant about church closings and how taking precautions belies a lack of faith in God's sovreingty, and how churches should also ban parking lots because people could die on the way to church. We need to be careful not to be foolish in the eyes of the world when it is unnecessary.

If no great effects of the virus occur in the States ...

We wouldn't know if people in America are less susceptible to the virus.
We wouldn't know if people in the States just wash their hands more.
Is it drastic measures that prevented an outbreak or were small changes sufficient?

It's far too early to draw any conclusions one way or the other because infections have not peaked.

Has there been any talk about Armageddon? You know, 4 horseman and all that?

Seems like this would be the perfect event for the end of world nuts out there.

When even the Four Horsemen are wearing surgical masks and gloves as well as carrying disinfectant spray --- you know you're in deep doo doo.

It's post hoc thinking though. It could be why, but we wouldn't know.
