Although I would be surprised if anyone here actually doesn't know what that is, those are people in hazmat suits in NYC overlooking the coffins of those being buried in mass graves because they are unclaimed corona virus victims buried to make room for bodies that will perhaps be claimed.
To those who would like to pretend the number of coffins is no big deal, the actual count looks to be about 60. If you'll notice, they are buried 2 deep, and this is just the first batch in that particular trench.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 04-10-2020, 10:44 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

The flu affects 5 million cases worldwide every year, with 650,000 deaths annually.
Nobody talks about that right now.

From the CDC, stats only from the US.

Is the Wuhan virus different from the flus that we are used to? Yes. Is it bad? Yes.
But worldwide, it isn't worse yet than the flus we are used to.

I don't think a thousand words suffices then.
There are a thousand things not being explained.
Do we know that this picture is valid? Answer some of mossy's questions.
If these are people suspected of having COVID-19, were they tested for it and were the test results accurate? Or, are these non-infected corpses that are being buried carefully because of general concern of contagions?
Why were these bodies not cremated instead?
Why hasn't the COVID-19 seriously spread among people within most of the States?
It would help to answer questions based on good sources -- not just present a picture with no investigation.

1) We have a vacine for the flu that reduces the death toll.
2) This virus' capacity to kill to at least 10x that of the flu, and it spreads at least 2x as easily. That means that if we let it go like we do the flu it will kill at least 10x as many people and overwhelm the medical system in every country that has them.
And a lot of people are talk about that right now. They are pointing out that with similar numbers of infections to the flu, the wordwide death count for COVID-SARS-2 would number at least 6.5 to 11 million people.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 04-10-2020, 10:49 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

Not everybody is American and follows every news article from the States, Jim. I had no idea why or where or when this picture was taken. I don't hang on Trump's every word. I have trouble even listening to my own idiot PM. So you can't just assume that everybody on the entire site know exactly what you're going on about in a nameless picture that could have been taken anywhere at any time.
And you haven't provided a link still, so we are supposed to take your word for it.

Yes - you should feel quite secure in taking my word for it.
But I will apologize for accidentally forgetting we have international observers here that may or may not keep up with US based news outlets.

That's conjecture, as are all the projections that our leaders are giving, just as the weather forecasts that the "experts" give us every day are only educated guesses. We just don't know if that will be the case or not.
And I would like to know what you think we, as average people, are supposed to do about the projected stats even if they are accurate? What's the point of further fearmongering with threads like this when we have so little control about everything that swirls around us in the world? Aren't we just supposed to do what we are recommended to do by the authorities?
Don't you, as a believer, think that God is still in control, and that nothing happens without His knowledge and allowance? Where is your peace, Jim? Where are you anchored?
Are you doing everything you are able to do under government and medical guidelines to stop the spread? I am, my family is. And we are trusting God to keep us in His care whatever the outcome. If we get sick, it is because He allows it for His purposes, and I am still not going to live my life in fear.
So why start a thread like this when there are already so many about the virus? What's your point?
