CORONAVIRUS on the move

He also is irresponsible for inserting and associating is political views with viruses. His patients, their families, and others will not take any epidemics seriously. People respect Drs. and rely on their judgements and medical advice. If the Dr. is disseminating false information, then he or she is doing harm.
 
SARS started in China in late 2002 and was recognized as a global threat in March 2003. It was pretty much done by 2004.

Does anyone know if it’s a sin to miss mass in order to avoid getting coronavirus?
 
The doctor simply posted the facts. Unfortunately one cannot trust the corporate media these days, so I stopped taking these “epidemics” too seriously. In a few weeks it will be old news, but not before billions of dollars have been exchanged. It’s usually a case of follow the money and wild stock market fluctuations. When big money owns the information flow and knows it can drive the masses like cattle, it does just that. Corruption is usually in the highest places where money is to be made. If money can be made off scare tactics, then by golly, money will be made.

As the late Fr. John Hardon SJ repeatedly reminded everyone, “The modern media is engaged in a Luciferian conspiracy against the truth”

Talk to your priest. A lot would depend on what the coronavirus prevalence is in your area, and whether you have any health conditions that put you at greater risk.
 
Having a purposefully suppressed immune system (long story), I have worn mask and gloves for nearing 5 years. It is natural for me to avoid anyone coughing and sneezing, as that is how droplets containing a virus are broadcast. I spent 6-7 months last year down with various viruses.

Even if you do not have active virus - or symptoms - you may still carry the virus and broadcast it by coughing or sneezing. We are talking about a virus that is about 1/10 the size of a bacterium. Much tinier than any human cell. Best observed via electron microscope.

The normal vector is our hands. Set aside wearing a mask for the moment. Everything we touch in the public physical world has been touched by others. Many viruses have probably been deposited there, and viruses are not technically living things (argument there) - so they remain forever. We touch and pickup the virus - think wet paint.

Our eyes itch so we transfer the paint (virus) from hand to eye when we scratch the itch. Thus, we infect ourselves. There are millions of viruses in existence, but only 3,000 or so have been scientifically identified and described. All of the others are simply unknown and their effects on mankind are unknown.

There are many corona viruses, this being simply a novel mutation of that category of virus. It was discovered in 2019, thus its name. About 20 vaccines are in development but will probably not be available until 2021. 80% of those with the virus show only mild symptoms, thus may go about spreading the virus without knowing it.

So, masks are good, but gloves and multi-times daily hand washing (after touching anything in public) is better. I have been paying attention to this, as in addition to my suppressed immune system, I have a recent tendency to develop pneumonia. Covid19 is a respiratory virus and so I am acutely at risk.

There is a British doctor (PhD/Nursing instructor) on YouTube who updates daily and is a wealth of information regarding the science of and practical means of avoiding the virus. Here is an excellent vid on self-isolating and about avoiding the virus in the first place.

He’s probably going on a “hunch” and not medic science like his Doctor-in-Chief.
 
Click on the category you want in the gray line at the top of the page. Then, click on the “blue ball” with the plus sign in it on the right side of the page which comes up.
 
I spoke with a priest earlier this week. He said it was acceptable to not attend Mass indefinitely until the virus blows over. Well, he nodded his head approvingly.
It is a difficult and personal decision.

I expect this to go well past Easter.

…will be watching local Mass for shut-ins on TV or EWTN.

This parish has gobbled up two other parishes, the church is very crowded. I am over the age where this kills you, well over it. The Governor of my State (NY) just declared a State Of Emergency. I don’t know what Card. Dolan will do, he’s just fine up there in his castle, this is no one to look to for anything at all. We don’t have a “cup” during flu season (any year) and we don’t shake hands either. I bought masks a while ago, I bought plastic gloves, I have goggles. Am I supposed to go to church like that? The Gov. says “the facts allay the fears”. The Grand Princess is filled with people getting sick and they can’t dock anywhere in CA. Is superstition greater than common sense? You think God is going to send me to hell for not wanting to die from pneumonia? This is going to be bad. Italy is being destroyed, people who visit there casually are sick now, France is also in big trouble. I don’t want to take a chance. I am alone in this world, I lost my daughter in 2011. If I get sick, I’m just going to die in my apartment. There aren’t enough hospital beds in this county for a large # of very sick people, let alone ICUs. So pretty much, I’m staying home and attending Mass by watching it on TV. Think about this: even taking the Eucharist exposes you; who is giving it to you? Who handled it before that? This virus stays “alive” on surfaces for up to two weeks. Gov. says, “Senior citizens have to be careful”. So that’s what I’m going to do. This will last for months and it will only get worse. I’m supposed to see my ear Dr. at a major teaching hospital in two weeks, something I really need to do, and I’m afraid to go there! That’s it so if someone wants to condemn me to hell and say I’m doing the wrong thing, everything in me is saying DON’T GO so that’s what I’m going to do.
 
No I don’t know. By “THEM” are you referring to a political party? The media? Aliens from outer space? RUSSIANS? I have no idea what you’re talking about and this is a serious topic.
 
It’s really unfortunate to see this coming from you, @(name removed by moderator). . . .
