Rachel Maddow looks at how contact tracings have taught us that church gatherings have been a particular point of vulnerability for the spread of coronavirus in the United States, a fact not changed by Donald Trump's posturing. Aired on 05/22/2020.

Contact Tracings Show Risk Of Coronavirus Spread Through Churches | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
So your gunna have a million dead by Christmas.
@Ash Roskell You must not know what the American Dream is. Also this comment “gave away billions to charities and then put his wealth to work in search of a solution to a crisis his country faces”….just shows how ignorant you are.
vsedai : 🥱 . . . 😴
Yeah but they will be Church goers, so it’s a win-win for CNN. They even get to promote the new Germany 1940’s scheme…Contact Tracing!! Ask the Jews how that worked out for them….
Yup just like with the Spaniard came over with the flu virus
Sure seems that way.
if god is everywhere , people should be able to pray etc at home , god is not just inside a church
@Suzan Firth Those filthy rich leaders of the flocks who collect money week after week are the ones supporting Trump. They are the ones who helped him to get into office. He’s got to keep their coin rolling in or they’ll stop their support.
@Margaret Nicol Churches in NY are open this weekend. Do you know what they’re doing, they’re serving as CV-19 testing sites, not packing people into seats in the sanctuary. That is true service. Any church that is urging members to attend just to fill the collection plate is a sham. I don’t believe in organized religion, however, I certainly respect organizations that are spending money to protect their members rather than flinging open the doors in order to collect money from those who can least afford to give.
@Cynna1065 Now that’s what you can call a real church. Well done them!
New normal…Never ever get to go outside again…Unless it’s to the testing center or slave labor camp…But we will be “safe”….Until they need us to die because we are a carrier…Genocide never really ends it seems….
@Margaret Nicol i respect that but, maybe pray in smaller groups on at different sessions of the day ?
Some people just have to learn the hard way.
@Computer User This is not God’s doing. This is man’s.
Some people , like you …
Are 🐩
@fillup farkus Why do you Liberals always have to bring color in to every discussion ??? 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@Some Person Obama Administration paid to have this Virus built 🤔 Where have you been fool … 🐒
@Tim Wishart so you’re claiming Obama just hid the virus for 3 years? Jeez snowflake that’s a really dumb conspiracy theory, I’d make fun of you but it’s not fair to argue with someone of your limited mental abilities. How are those Velcro shoes working out, no more laces to tie is easier huh?😘
Yea pile in to the church’s the next time you go back it might be for your funeral . Wake up America
@Cade Cooper By whom? Space invaders?
@Andrew I wouldn’t pile into a supermarket either!
@Dem63 H You said nothing to refute the fact that you can go to a crowded grocery store but not a church. I guess grocery stores are immune to Corona, even with a bunch of random people touching all the products.
@MICHAEL JUNG No just people touching all the products you will buy. 🙄🙄🙄
@Paul Boccuti churches have poor
Ventilation a lot of them are old buildings perfect for spreading
the virus. Plus the whole religion
Thing is a lie . Bible was made up by rich kings and queens to control people. Stay safe.
Can’t they hold outdoor services for now? It’s healthier getting the fresh air and sunshine anyway.
They tried having a drive in service but people were still arrested or fined for sitting in their car with the windows up
@nightstalker1124 , that’s just wrong. There’s no excuse for that.
@Rebecca
The more you look at things the more you will realize things arent adding up. It has nothing to do with a virus or public safety
@nightstalker1124 I admit, I don’t understand how it’s okay to open shopping malls and casinos but not allow churches to even have outdoor services.
@Rebecca
They even forced a woman to shut her business completely down because she was streaming on facebook live to display her inventory and allow people to order online, just like amazon. The police showed up and told her she has to close the shop. She said didnt you see the door, we are closed. Then they said she was streaming on facebook and had to shutdown completely
Certain people are benefitting from all this while the common folk get thrown under the bus. Figure out who benefits and has something to gain. Then figure out who you are not allowed to criticize. Theyre literally banning people and taking down videos even from doctors and experts because they oppose the mainstream narrative proporsed by WHO, CDC, and the like. A person from msnbc came out and said that trumps rhetoric could possibly change the narrative and how people think, THAT IS OUR JOB. When people were spreading links for videos opposing the mainstream narrative they were deleted and said it is an attempt to thwart social medias attempts at preventing hoaxes and conspiracy theories. They claim to be the ministry of truth and anything opposing them is blasphemy. All about controlling the narrative
Malaysia – 18 Mar 2020
A 34-year-old Malaysian man who attended the event died on Tuesday, Malaysia’s Minister of Health Dr Adham Baba said, the first death linked to the February 27 to March 1 event, which took place at the Sri Petaling mosque compound.
It was attended by 16,000 people, including 1,500 foreigners.
Out of Malaysia’s 673 confirmed coronavirus cases, nearly two-thirds are linked to the four-day meeting, Adham said. It is not clear who brought the virus there in the first place.
The covid crisis in eastern France sprang specifically from a week-long Evangelical event in the town of Mulhouse. Not hundreds but thousands of deaths occurred from this.
@tritri banks
You don’t have to be there to know what happened. We have reliable reporters saying it happened. These people gathered even believe the entity nobody ever saw.
tritri banks It isn’t a theory if what you say has been falsified!
@Mette Jakobsen
I don’t agree on your statement “this has nothing to do with religion”. It was a religious event. They came together to worship knowing that there is risk of getting infected by corona virus.
It’s not virus’ fault that people get infected. It’s virus’ nature to infect people. They didn’t get together to get infected, of course. However, organizers should have enough/abundant precautions to prevent the breakout.
Everybody knew the risk. They took the risk. Now, there is the breakout.
MICHAEL JUNG. What I ment was that the gathering of people was the problem, not the religion it self. A rally, a concert, a demonstration, the festival in New Orleans, would have the same impact. But you are right in the way that religions that is based on large congregations gathering closely togeather pose a risk to themselves and the society the congregation came from. I Mulhouse they came From all around the world. It happened in the beginning of the epidemi where most of the europeans thought covid would stay in China, and they did not the risk. Today we know the risk and if anyone participate in large gatherings , they know that they could cause the death of a lot of people in their society. To days ago you had more than 93 thousands dead from Corona, today it is more than 96 thousand. So I suggest you stay out of large crowds for another while, religius or not. Stay safe
Link?
Hey, everyone! Look! Over there!!! It’s Darwin!
Not only was Darwin a product of inbreeding, he also married his cousin. You must have that sense of something in common with him.
The word congregation should tell you what you need to know! For the love of God, stay away. It is easy to watch Church service on TV.
Quiet Heathen!
The Pope accepted the facts and stopped churches services.
I’m amazed not a single case was traced to a Walmart. Walmart has been a party this whole lockdown. Going to Walmart must be the cure.
Don’t hear anything about all the Employee DEATHS from Walmart or other stores either. But they are happening!! Kroger’s Company already has over 65deaths, But No Reports for those lives Lost in the News.
@Hey it’s Ari Have you been to all the Walmart stores?
@Dawn Short Lmao have you been in one? I have, no distancing there.
Mister Hat you need to STFU.
Or at work, factories, etc.
HAPPY I DON’T HAVE TO BE IN A BUILDING TO WORSHIP GOD — DID A LOT OF PRAYING IN MY LIFE CROUCHED IN A HELICOPTER.
Absolutely! The day after the first reported Covid19 death in my area our religious service was canceled. Now we meet by Zoom. I am happy I belong to a faith that values the health of its members.
If you were in the Service while crouching in helicopters, thank you.
Linda Scott I’m confused what the heck do you guys mean by crouching in helicopters?!?!
@SoftlyX I believe they are talking about their personal experience during harrowing times while coincidentally being in a helicopter at the time. The point is that you don’t have to be in a specific building to worship God or even pray. As Linda pointed out, today’s technology affords us all fellowship without necessitating being in the same room together.
To all Christians: if you want to go where God is, I have good news, you’re already there because God is everywhere.
Dakhoth Facts!! Why risk your and church members life and health like we have technology to do service online until this gets better
@SoftlyX the OP mentioned it. I was assuming that crouching in helicopters would be something done in the army or navy, so I wanted to thank him for his service.
Interesting 🤔 We will let the USA try this out 😳 Let us know how you get on 👍 🇧🇷
If he wants to reopen churches, then let him attend them and see how it goes for him if he catches the virus or not.
It would be easier for people to stay home if the Government put a paycheck in people’s accounts! The way they did in Ontario Canada!
Bless their hearts….
rThe God who made the world and everything in it, being sLord of heaven and earth, tdoes not live in temples made by man,3
The message here? Pray at home…in order to love your neighbor!
i.e., smallpox blankets – by presidential and oil company design
And yet Trump insist they open up the churches…he’s a murderer…
So far no one worshipping in a Walmart has contracted COVID-19.
Right!
