Is Fate playing it's hand?

One week ago, it looked like republicans were going to force through an extreme Supreme Court nominee. Today, two republicans one the Judiciary Committee have the Coronavirus, the Supreme Court nominee attended a likely super-spreader event at the White House and could well fall ill. Is Fate intervening on our side to wreck the nomination and give the appointment to Biden and Democrats in January of next year? If so, shouldn’t we say to the religious right that at a critical juncture god intervened on our side, so god favors what we stand for?

She was in close contact with a lot of people who appear to be getting sick, and in one photo that I saw of her, she was not wearing face covering.

But is quite the string of events. Democrats should lose all levers of power to keep her out.

In cases where people became reinfected, the second time was worse.
