My church sponsors an annual Eggstravganza - this will be our 13th year, I think - the Saturday before Easter. We often draw at least 3,000 people. It is entirely funded by us. Wow...praying that we make the right decision on this.Originally posted by seanD View PostI had thought about that. How potential quarantines would affect church gatherings, and how the church would respond to that.
Oh well...we'll make next year's even BIGGER!
And we have cancelled sunday school .... and our Primetimers (55 and over) are also cancelled. All until further notice.
I visited my dad at the vet's home...had to answer question about feeling sick, traveled to other countries, and I can't remember what else, and signed off before I could get in. And they won't let their residents go anywhere. It's even stricter at the convalescent home.Watch your links! http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/fa...corumetiquette

Originally posted by simplicio View PostNot sure that is really accurate, the pandemic response unit's functions have not been dropped, they have been picked up elsewhere. And I thought (not sure since I have read conflicting reports) that the particular program was a one time funding for the ebola response.
In short, Trump dissolved the White House's pandemic team because he had no idea he might need a pandemic team.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostThere are plenty of reports that say otherwise: "Trump disbanded NSC pandemic unit that experts had praised. Public health and national security experts shake their heads when President Donald Trump says the coronavirus "came out of nowhere" and blindsided the world. "They've been warning about the next pandemic for years".

I thought the White House response team was funded by Obama, a response to ebola. I see no reason to have a separate response team in the White House. The CDC has those same capabilities.
I watched part of Trump's press conference on the national emergency, as well as clips from other countries. Dr Fauci and Secretary Azar were at Trump's side for the press conference, Health professionals were part of the decision making here, as well as in other countries. Which makes sense. (Not sure I have ever known the names of head of HHS and NIH).
Yes, the comments by Trump and others were definitely mind numbingly stupid, considering that we have been treated to some new epidemic threat every few years.
