No, because he knows more people will die than if he keeps everything closed.
It’s difficult to make a decision to send military men and women into battle. Those men and women volunteered, knowing they could be sent and possibly die.
But in this case, the people who might die are civilians who never volunteered for a mission that could result in their death.
That’s why this is the most difficult decision he’s ever made. No President has ever had to make such a decision.
With all due respect, this is not ultimately contingent upon whether we stay shut down or not, but solely and wholly on God’s jurisdiction. Even from a secular standpoint and empirically speaking: some of the countries with the best Covid responses and lowest fatality rates have not had to shut down altogether (South Korea comes to mind ) or are lifting their lockdown orders (Austria.) We need to come to grips with the dysfunctions in our societal systems that have done far more disable us than the actual severity of the virus itself. We are way too reliant on China for example, for even the most basic of medical supplies!
From a spiritual standpoint, it’s not as though this virus is bound by laws of nature even in the way that something like gravity is. Hence why it’s confounded so many and makes many of these data models and speculations moot. Covid-19 could very well go the way of SARS and MERS viruses and dissipate without much of our ‘help.’ Or it could become something even worse! Even if we do everything ‘right.’
All this to say that in the end, it makes me wonder whether God is expecting more of His people to stand in the gap. Yes within our homes for starters, but eventually He may ask us to stand before the Red Sea and take a physical leap of faith. Perhaps this means gathering to meet again (with all necessary precaution and keeping the most vulnerable at home) - so that we fight this virus in the spiritual realms.
This is a spiritual battle. Not biological.
