The facts
Coronavirus lockdowns have had an unintended benefit. Satellite images show a dramatic reduction in nitrogen dioxide emissions in major Chinese cities between January and February. The visible cloud of toxic gas hanging over industrial powerhouses almost disappeared. – CNN
In the US, Democrats are using the opportunity to push legislation. Airlines receiving aid as part of the proposed coronavirus stimulus package would have to start offsetting their carbon emissions in 2025 and reduce their overall emissions by 2050. – Bloomberg
UN environment chief Inger Andersen issued a stern warning: “At the end of the day, [with] all of these events, nature is sending us a message.” – The Guardian

The visible cloud of toxic gas hanging over industrial powerhouses almost disappeared. – CNN You forgot the big benefit........ NO MORE CHURCH !!! We always have God in our hearts, our bodies are the Temple of God, and He lives there. We don't need churches to worship God; under special circumstances we can worship in our own quite ways, in our own rooms, going for a walk, mediating while we are sitting, or using the Internet chatroom communicating with others, sharing the gospel message with them, comfort them with God's words in times of difficulty.
Vietnam and Cuba friends could NOT gather to have Sunday morning meetings for 30 yrs! But they get together to have fellowship/Bible reading in the cemetery; or when they have birthdays get together, Weddings... MANY continue on for many years without gospel meetings, Sunday morning meetings, special meetings, and conventions.
Hey! more time for me to spend on the TMB! awesome... To spend some of my quality times with you folks.

You forgot the big benefit........ NO MORE CHURCH !!!where there is a will there is a way, we're not done yet.... People tend to turn to religion when there is a death of someone close. Outsiders are easy prey during those times. That's why preachers "strike while the iron is hot" and try to convert sinners at funerals. I suspect churches will not go away for a very long time, but sects within those religions will continue to come and go. The 2x2 it seems grows mainly from the internal birth rate of their believers and I suspect that's not at a sustainable level..... just a guess.

You forgot the big benefit........ NO MORE CHURCH !!!where there is a will there is a way, we're not done for yet.... Churches are broadcasting their services live using different apps. Some are also on TV and the internet. Not much different from before except watching at home rather than attending in person. Homegroups are taking place through apps like zoom and other means, they are still continuing but by different means. Everything is still continuing. Did God predict online churches such as is happening now? All it needs is is for the internet to get a world wide virus then we're all doomed.

The workers can still do their preaching from home using the same method of broadcasting they use for elderly people in hospitals to hear convention etc.

"Vietnam and Cuba friends could NOT gather to have Sunday morning meetings for 30 yrs! But they get together to have fellowship/Bible reading in the cemetery;" A cemetery sounds like a fun place to have a meeting. "Hey! more time for me to spend on the TMB! awesome... To spend some of my quality times with you folks. " Oh my God, think it is time for Redback to switch computer off, and go into complete lockdown.

I don't think you will because you are a TMB addict, you will be bored to death for sure. Your brain will shut itself you down for being so bored. You have the TMB Virus. If you decided go into a complete lockdown from TMB. It's one of the ways to RIP. Life will be boring without TMB. I have done it for over 20 yrs, it keeps my mind staying sharp and FREE from Corona Virus.

I am glad the workers see the reality, but I really find those churches I've listed above to be frustrating and dangerous.

They wouldn't dare put a ventilator on me. If I got sick enough to need to go to a hospital I'm going to have DNR written all over me🙂

It's frustrating that New Zealand has come to a standstill with a lockdown made necessary because of slack border control, while the authorities are still not properly isolating incoming travellers.
The latest excuse? Mobile phone monitoring is not compulsory for privacy reasons.
Across Western civilisation many are dying needlessly because of our political correctness and "freedom".
Is freedom from an infection not worth something?

Is freedom from an infection not worth something? Interestingly , Sweden’s kinda doing “business as usual “ and so far , their data shows as good or better numbers of infections than many countries with major restrictions. Maybe big problems ahead - just strange. Alvin www.google.ca/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/03/30/sweden-coronavirus-approach-is-very-different-from-the-rest-of-europe.html

In the USA they are still free to buy guns as they are considered essential. I would just love to see the shoot out between a semi auto and a bunch of germs.

Yes, they are mostly New Zealanders coming home but we need guarantees that they are COVID-19 free. Almost all COVID-19 cases in New Zealand are connected with incoming travelers. It's stupid shutting the whole country down and all of us isolating ourselves without quarantining the border. Look at them in the link below, standing close together in the queue while the rest of us were told to stay at least two metres apart from everyone not in our bubble. www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/simon-bridges-calls-government-quarantine-test-everyone-still-arriving-into-nz

Yes I have heard of silly stuff like that. There is also a few tourists down this way openly flouting the rules. I also hear there may be a clampdown coming soon with travelers rounded up and locked up in a hotel somewhere. Watch this space.

Is freedom from an infection not worth something? In Australia persons returning from China appear to have been capable of quarantining themselves as instructed, but not so residents returning from other parts of the globe. So Australia is now isolating incoming travellers in hotels. There are plenty of complaints on social media, but I can't say I have a great deal of sympathy!
