I have witnessed the very mathematics of epidemiology becoming partisan Probably not our best collective moment
Americas Christian's are directly to blame for the fact that basic public health information and policies have been turned into political debate. This problem has been going on at least as far back as the Scopes trial. The church I grew up in put out a statement that they trust God to keep them safe and they will be taking exactly 0 precautions regarding Covid-19. This can be dismissed as my regular tirade against people of faith. Forget the fact that their actions will directly lead to infections of more people. I'm just a meany who was bored in church as a kid and hated going.
At the same time I know that churches and pious individuals are going to be some of the few out helping the large homeless population in my area throughout this epidemic. I get how dangerous the rhetoric from the Christian right is but I'm consistently humbled by how much churches and individuals in my neighborhood are doing for the common good.
One bad apple spoils the bunch I bet those same individuals voted Trump. My mind cannot be changed on this topic. With one hand they offer charity. With the other they pursue political agendas that directly attack the most vulnerable members of society. They WANT the homeless to be dependent upon church handouts, not cared for by social welfare programs common in every other developed country. My original point stands.
