What if...….?

That's one issue, how on earth are people suppose to pay there rent and bills and buy food if they cannot work because there jobs are shut down they have no income. Even many landlords rely on people's rent to pay the mortgage.

No work equals no money, and unemployment welfare ain't going to cover much.

Mandatory no work they should be compensated. People should still be receiving there full wage. Then again that could bust some business. It's a screwed up situation with bans everywhere.

Here in Hawai'i, the government said there will be no evictions during this crises.....dunno how long that'll last.

The worst part of this is that no one in our county or surrounding counties have this virus, but yet forced to shut everything down. If it wasn't for the vacation money we put away that we might have to use we would be hard pressed, but then again it could be more than two weeks as no one knows for sure. I'm not worried about ourselves as God has pulled us out of tougher situations, but we as a community need to reach out and help those who are hard pressed the best way we can.

IMO, this is just a taste of what things will be like that will lead others to take the mark of the beast in the end of days instead of turning to God to where their help lays.

yeah...i kinda think this makes a lot of the End Times material in Scripture seem...more relevant, I suppose.

So people don't have to pay there mortgages then because many people who rent homes have mortgages on them. They rely on rent to pay mortgage and maintenance.

This is but a small taste.

Look,
Nothing touches one of God's kids unless He allows it.
Look at Job...sure he lost it all...but he gained it all back and then some.

I've been so broke I didn't know where my next meal was going to come from...but God saw to it I was fed and cared for.

I'm more sure of that "thin air" I stand on than that solid ground of a great job with a good, steady, income.

And that assurance I have has come from being in that fiery furnace one too many times...
I'm telling you that those who put God first in their lives have absolutely nothing to fear.
Don't sweat the small stuff like food, clothing, and a roof over your head.
God can make a prisoner a prince, an ex convict a nation's leader, or the least successful preacher the most famous and heard for over 2,000 years.

He has done it before, it's a nothing to do so again.

If they would test everyone to identify the infected, they could just quarantine the infected instead of everybody. The rest of the country could go back to normal.

They can't... limited capacity for testing.
They can make the reagents but they use a machine to test and record findings...
Those machines have a limited capacity.

True, but why? We had months of warning that this was coming. Korea has tested far more people than the USA has, even though they have fewer people.

the Koreans have tested well over 290,000 people and identified over 8,000 infections. New cases are falling off:

290,000 tests versus 60,000 in the USA. Their new infection rates are getting better, while ours are spiraling out of control. China hasn't reported any new domestic infections at all for 3 days now. What is going on? Why can't the USA produce tests like other nations can?

The testing machines are complicated bits of tech that isn't easily cleaned between batches.
Like a gas chromatograph...not a simple bit of tech. Yes, they exist but need a professional to operate.

Psalms 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

Read the whole chapter as these are God's promises to all who will believe and trust in Him by faith.
