As President Donald Trumps response to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic continues to be criticized for Americas 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.

(15,035 posts)Lincoln famously declared the Civil War a just Gods 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 its just a virus doing what viri do. And if theres blame, it lies at the door of those who willfully looked the other way to protect their own interests.
