WHO sounds warning over upcoming religious festivals
Manila Bulletin ^ | April 1, 2021 | N/A

Posted on 04/02/2021 5:30:28 PM PDT by DoodleBob

Days ahead of Easter and two weeks before Ramadan, the World Health Organization on Wednesday cautioned against crowded indoor celebrations that could trigger a fresh surge in coronavirus infections.

“In countries experiencing widespread community transmission of the virus, virtual meetings, postponing or reducing such gatherings should be seriously considered,” said a WHO statement.

“Regardless of location, any religious service should be held outdoors wherever possible or be limited in size and duration, with physical distancing, ventilation, hand hygiene and mask use, as appropriate,” it added.

Better would be for people to mark the festivals with those they lived with and avoid meeting others — especially if feeling unwell or in isolation or quarantine, it said.

“Indoor gatherings, even smaller ones, can be especially risky.”

Experts are worried that some people may drop their guard while celebrating religious festivals, just as many countries are imposing restrictions to try to slow rising numbers of Covid-19 infections.

In the coming days, Christians celebrate Easter, while Muslims begin the fasting month of Ramadan on April 13.

I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
No, no!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

The left would eliminate all traces of religion and God if they could.

I expect nothing less than this warning from the new world order types.

Note they could only muster a colored egg for Christians in the images. That’s on par with Google-yippee!!

I noticed that as well. Everyone knows the Easter Egg is the universal symbol of Christianity.

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. But they managed to put the Star of David in the pics, which is utterly shocking given the rampant anti-Semitism in the world today, along side the Star and Crescent. Thus, they can’t even fake it.

“It’s ok for people to come over the border with Covid but, whatever you do don’t go to church.”

I’ve come to the realization that my government hates us. There’s no other rational explanation for what they’re doing.

None.

They’re sooooo skeeeert!

There’s only a small window of time for them to get their vax orders/mandates out before sheeple FINALLY realize there is no need to follow these arcane/tyrannical edits to protect themselves from the dreaded China Flu.

(Hint: large gatherings are just ONE way to do so.)

Hmmm...I dunno about hate. A parasite doesn't hate the host exactly. It certainly doesn't wish to kill the host..that would be suicidal. No, I think the parasite sees the host as a supply source.

Leftists may say they hate us, but without us they'd have no revenue of tax base. They'd have nobody to make their creature comforts. But perhaps most importantly, they wouldn't have anyone to demonized for fund-raising.

I'd say we are an irritating source of revenue and credit support..we aren't hated, but appreciated for our abaility to supply them with their needs.

Chinese and Russian propaganda art was much more interesting.

“I’d say we are an irritating source of revenue and credit support..we aren’t hated, but appreciated for our abaility to supply them with their needs.”

History shows the error of your thinking. Venezuela is a good recent example. The Left there destroyed the economy and tossed millions of formerly middle class people into abject poverty. All the while those at the top want for nothing.

They don’t need your revenue. They’ll steal whatever they want and happily kill you if you resist.

Make no mistake, Bob. They hate us. They’re screaming it into our faces. They mean it and we better start believing them.
