As President Donald Trump’s response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic continues to be criticized for America’s failure to widely test for the virus, one southern Republican suggested divine intervention might be necessary.

On Friday, Trump declared a National Day of Prayer and suggested looking to God for “protection.”

Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) thought prayer was a great response to a public health crisis.

“We need the aid of the Almighty in combating this outbreak!” Hice argued.

1. Or maybe it's God's judgement

They don't ever think of that

[cos dem]

2. Coronavirus is God's punishment of America for electing Trump.

I don't believe that, of course. But we should use it to counter this kind of nonsense from the religious right.

3. Yes but

I like “it’s god’s punishment for putting kids in cages.” Not that i believe it either but it seems more biblical

5. That punishing god is an asshole.

He himself could save the babies in cages and end the virus.

Talk about holding a grudge.. Shit.

4. Who's to say the virus isn't God's judgment on us for electing Trump? . . .

Lincoln famously declared the Civil War a just God’s judgment on the nation, both South and North, for the sin of slavery. Why would that same God not keep his covenant with us by passing swift judgment to both punish and rid of us of the sin of Donald Trump?

Or maybe it’s just a virus doing what viri do. And if there’s blame, it lies at the door of those who willfully looked the other way to protect their own interests.

6. Sometimes the answer to your prayer is "no"

So what’s the difference if I pray or not?

7. Sorry folks, God is down with a dry cough and fever....

and in quarantine, restricted to an isolation cloud for a month.

Tough shit, you all................
