I think this little girl may have received a heavenly message.
Less than an hour ago, as I was leaving a case and closing up for the night, my Advocate had just turned off the lights when the light on my phone lit up. I looked down at my phone and the Bible verse Psalms 91 was on my phone. At first I thought someone had texted it to me, but that was not the case.
My Advocate asked me what was wrong. I told her the verse just popped up on my phone but it wasn't sent through email or text. I was not familiar with the verse and started reading it. I stopped and read it out loud. My Advocate said she thought it was weird. She is not religious at all, so she called her friend that is. Her friend told her that it was the second time today that someone had called her and brought up Psalms 91.
So maybe God really is trying to tell us something.
"Hope and change", or "hope and faith" whichever floats your boat. Both are just ideas/concepts, not actual "people". As for myself, I've found "taking action" and "personal responsibility" to be far more effective in this world than the idle concept of "hope".
The only one denigrating a person was you with your absurdly claiming that there's "zero difference" between myself and the WBC.

Fine. What action are you personally taking to make sure this WuFlu goes away?

In the midst of nonstop Panic & Fear over Covid-19...
I offer this comforting and charming message of faith & hope from a little girl in the Philippines.
On March 8, a Facebook post by Michelle Dalida-Calayag went viral because of a vision her daughter Jahzara Bryelle saw in her dream.
While the mother-daughter pair was watching CNN News report on television regarding the COVID-19 cases, Jahzara “Jahzy” suddenly spoke.
“Mommy you know what, God told me something,” she told her mom.
The mother was shocked because it seemed like her daughter was very confident of the message she received from God. It was as if she was simply referring to a classmate or a friend.
So Michelle asked, “How? What did He tell you?”
Jahzy replied,
“I was sleeping last night and in my dream, I hear God, He told me, ‘Jahzy don’t be scared, the virus will be gone on April.'”
The mother responded, “Wow! Wait, were you scared?”
“I’m no longer sacred,” Jahzy replied.
And when Michelle asked her why, the little girl confidently said, “Because God is with me, and the Holy Spirit is with me. So I’m not scared.”

I'd like to believe her.
Let's hope a child's faith ultimately speaks louder and more true than all the many merchants of panic and fear.
The same action I'm taking to prevent monkeys from flying outta my arse... none, because neither is gonna happen anytime soon.
The WuFlu itself isn't the issue. For roughly 80% it'll be no worse than any other cold or flu. The chance of the infection rate peaking too fast, and that 15-20% overwhelming our medical infrastructure, is the actual threat. We don't want to hit a situation where heart attacks etc. are turned away because, "sorry, all beds are full".

So what happened to "physical action" and "personal responsibility"?

Just be smart to mitigate and slow the spread...

You are correct, but that 15-20% of the population is not all that would be affected.

That hope and faith you poo-poo is one of the few things actually keeping us from experiencing the exact problem you mention. Hopeless people run to help at the slightest sign of a problem because they have no hope. Hopeful people tend to not do so. You just admitted to literally fearing the very thing your words would help to bring about!

God kills a bunch of people with a virus then swoops in and says, "hey no worries the virus will be gone soon". Typical God behavior!

hey, not to uhhhh, derail the whole thing you guys have got going on here, but i've got one lil question...
if this is such an important message of hope that we all desperately need or whatever
why did god appear in the dream of one little girl in the phillipines?
why not several hundred thousand over a couple of nights?
or even just a few hundred?
surely it would be just as easy and just as intangible a proof?
instead, we have exactly the same number of girls being told personally by god that this will disappear suddenly as we have girls dreaming that the local parrot breeder is going to fortify his house and outfit all his parrots with little helmets to stand guard [i.e. one, that was the corona-related dream i had last night].
Maybe that is also ordained by a higher power?
Don't you dare denigrate my hope!

Ah, well, then. If you say so. Please, carry on with your lack of anger.
