The topic is the spread of coronavirus. Politics in this thread are only muddying the waters.

Keep alert. Keep watching. All those who love truth, and keep seeking the truth, find it.

I think the problem is precisely because you stopped seeking truth in this matter.

china is also one of the world leaders in pesticides and hormones in food, and maybe a world leader in "farmed fish".......none of that is inherently bad, but results from abuse.

This craze unfortunately maybe "man made" nothing special about.
So , they can stop it some day... they know how it started, they have started this before, they know how to stop it ?

Good point...

Revelation 22:18
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book"
So then, was it man, or God, allowing it to spread; what do you think?

I've been avoiding flu shots like the plague.
GREAT! Everyone (almost) , should (probably).... the news about the shots is mixed at best, and has often been bad. The other ways of helping the immune system/ preventing spread/ do not toxify it, nor endanger it at all. (the ways know since before the Plague of Death/Black Plague) ...

(have one theory)

that explosion of ebola a few years ago, seem like that, many people infected and the temperature change helps the virus remain dormant until, another sudden change in temperature causes the explosion.
That too passed. Handling it properly resulted in no worries. Handling it improperly resulted in sickness and death.

Stopping the spread - that's what is important for people today - will it be approved ?

There is an acting Secretary;

Yes, I know.

the real one was fired after he refused to go easy on a war criminal pardoned by Trump.

Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer has been fired following a standoff with the president over the Trump-reversed demotion of Navy SEAL and accused war criminal Edward Gallagher. On Saturday, the New York Times reported that Spencer and the admiral who leads the SEALs had threatened to resign if Gallagher wasn’t disciplined and kicked out of the elite unit. Spencer later denied the report and insisted that the disciplinary review against Chief Petty Officer Gallagher would proceed, since he did not consider Trump’s tweet against the demotion to be an official order.
Navy Secretary Richard Spencer Fired Over War-Criminal Controversy

Your news story and response is fishy.
Accused- Fact
Pardon-ED - no Fact
Secretary of State- (a Civilian), released from position- so what?
Reason for Secretary's release - conjecture.

That's not protocol. That's political correctness run amok.

The President has the authority to release from duty "any person" who "Serves at the President's Pleasure" ( which includes the Secretary of the Navy...)
And the President has NO OBLiIGATION whatsoever to disclose to Anyone his Reason...
(But yet he supposedly gave his reason to a reporter of one of his favorite Fake News organizations? Ha ha.

Why do you think the men under his command gave him a send-off like that? They trusted and respected him.

That was a hard question. Gee glad you came to the rescue to answer it for me, after I already said, it appeared the crew liked him.

And they know he got a raw deal from politicians who didn't care that they were put in danger when politicians ignored the danger from an uncontrolled spread of the virus.

Raw deal,
Politicians don't care,
They were put in danger,
Politicians ignored....

Good grief man, At any given moment Military Personal can be in danger...they are not on a cruise ship!

If you think Politicians are without compassion, or Health Experts.... so what?
They are a reflection of society.

The threat to the mission, if many sailors became ill was obvious. In fact, the Navy followed the Captain's recommendations, after they became publicly known. He wasn't fired for taking action or even for his communications. It was because someone leaked his message to the public. It was an embarrassment, and he became a scapegoat.

Which he seems to have anticipated. This was a man who put the mission and his sailors above his career. Which is precisely the sort of man we want commanding combat vessels.

And he's getting overwhelming support from veterans and the general public. Over 150,000 people have signed a petition to reinstate him. That's unlikely, given the power of the politicians who removed him. But there will be a reckoning. Congress is likely to get an investigation underway, after the pandemic eases.

What did the leading medical and political people say(almost daily the last two or three weeks) concerning young healthy people with strong bodies and strong immune systems,
in reference to the 'problem' ?

What did the leading medical and political people say(almost daily the last two or three weeks) concerning young healthy people with strong bodies and strong immune systems,
in reference to the 'problem' ?

This, mainly:

It is a mistake to believe that the virus only severely impacts older people and those with underlying conditions, added Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO’s emergencies program. In Italy, one of the largest outbreaks in the world, 10% to 15% of all people in intensive care are under 50. In Korea, he added, one in six deaths have been people below the age of 60.

“There was a tendency for the last several months, almost a dismissive attitude, to say, ‘Well, this disease is severe in older people, and it’s fine in younger people,’” Ryan said. “We collectively have been living in a world where we’ve tried to convince ourselves that this disease is mild in young people and more severe in older people, and that’s where the problem is.”
WHO says 'more and more' young people are dying from the coronavirus

This is why the Navy did as the Captain asked, even though they were annoyed at him. But that's not the whole story. In the 70s, when flu immunizations were not all that effective, I was in the AF, and ran the influenza program for the base. Everyone got an immunization, which was not pleasant, and sometimes would make you sick for a few days.

So why did we do it? The risk of an epidemic, putting a large number of people down, was unacceptable. We had to be prepared. The Navy, after the Captain's message, was unwilling to take that risk, and so did as he requested. But the top brass were not happy at being told.

Hence the blowback which Captain Crozier seems to have anticipated. But he did what he intended to do; assure the ship was mission-ready, and protect his people.

The gathering anger at the Navy has made Trump careful to distance himself from the decision. For good reason. Over 160,000 people have signed a petition to reinstate the Captain, and there's considerable anger in Congress over this gaffe.

Noted. That's what Scripture says thru and thru. How did you find out ?

Reading and observation.

1 Sam 12:
[12] And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.
[13] Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
[14] If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:
[15] But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.

Trump
"It is my great honor to declare Sunday, March 15th as a National Day of Prayer," Trump tweeted Friday. "We are a Country that, throughout our history, has looked to God for protection and strength in times like these."

"Some" People are not shy to say and do:
Pray for our Representatives,
Pray for our military,
Pray for our nation...people at Large
Pray for Israel...12 Tribes of every Nation
** and "Some" People are not shy to express and do:
Ya, ya, whatever, now let's get back to the criticizing and bashing.

"This World" is a mix of citizens of every nation, reflected By the society of people WHO "accept and tolerate, and encourage" evil and wickedness.

Jesus came to Accomplish a Beginning and Ongoing marvelous DIVISION...

Luke 12:
[51] Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

It's a Spiritual DIVISION.
A DIVISION EFFECTED BY the Lord God,
Changing "the HEARTS" of "WILLING" men...
That they "Spiritually" are no longer "of"
"This World", (of wicked acceptance and tolerance"), but ARE at Peace, With the Lord God.

Glory to God,
