Christians Aren’t Helping Hospital Workers With Prayer Events in Parking Lots
By Beth Stoneburner
April 6, 2020
Christians all around the country are showing their appreciation for hospital workers… by adding to the number of bodies those staffers have to take care of.
For whatever reason, various Christian groups have decided the best way to send their thanks is by crowding into hospital parking lots, holding up signs of loves, honking their horns, and (seriously) getting out of their cars to pray.
However positive their intentions, they’re getting in the way of ambulances, creating a larger disturbance at a time when hospital workers are already surrounded by chaos, and creating an environment where COVID-19 can spread more quickly.

Well, if you consider the last 10 years as "lately", the hospital saved me from leukemia. The original diagnosis was made by my ophthalmologist. She took one look at my blood work and called to tell me I needed to go to the emergency room. I was surprised that the hospital food was actually pretty good. I was treated at OHSU's (Oregon Health & Science University) hospital.
It seems, with 'these people' give someone an inch and they take a mile attitude. It could very well be the crash of religion is leading to some real desperation and trying to shove their crap down everyone's throats. I say good as this only makes things worse, for them.

hmm; masks are mandatory, going to hospitals is not?
Any religious nutjob that gets in my way in any car park soon gets the sharp edge of my tongue.

There is nothing shocking anymore about what these crumbskulls do, or don’t do for that matter.
Obviously somethings going on in their heads that no one but them can ever comprehend.
