Posting a few S. Korea articles to get somewhat caught up on the SK situation:
How A South Korean City Is Changing Tactics To Tamp Down Its COVID-19 Surge
March 10, 202012:10 PM ET
“Daegu has so far been the main battleground of the coronavirus outbreak in South Korea, accounting for 75% of the country's 7,513 cases as of
Tuesday. The country has one of the highest number of infections outside of China.
Despite a national system that has a reputation for providing affordable, good-quality health care, the city's hospitals have been overwhelmed with infected patients, necessitating a shift in tactics.“
I am VERY worried about the church thing...
People need to understand what happened in Daegu...it is critical...

More from the above article:
“Daegu's first known coronavirus case was confirmed on Feb. 18. A 61-year-old woman was South Korea's 31st case. Epidemiological investigators believe she came into contact with more than
1,100 people.
Most are fellow members of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, a religious group that accounts for most of the cases in Daegu.
The disease's rapid spread through Daegu is due in part to the way patients transmit or "shed" the virus. "With this virus, symptoms are mild in the early phase, even though viral shedding is high," explains Dr.
Choi Sung Ho of Chung-Ang University College of Medicine in Seoul. "Patients may not realize they are infected and so go about their everyday lives."”

Please tell me none of these mega churches are still running. I know Joel Osteen closed early right?
If there are are any big churches running services, I’m afraid they really really need to reconsider.
Did I see Michigan earlier is allowing services of over 50 iirc?
