Hello, my friends.

December 2019, in the city of Wuhan in Hubei province, China, people were being admitted to hospitals with signs of pneumonia, which were leading to people’s deaths. At the end of December, a brave Doctor Li Wenliang shared with his colleagues that the coronavirus was out of control and that they should wear protective clothing, and the news spread through social media.

I usually listen to Tom Swarbrick on LBC Radio, and every night the news he shared was that the virus in Wuhan was getting worse.

How it happened.

The pressure of the world was getting to China. Under pressure, China notified the WHO World Health Organisation, which couldn’t keep control of the people attending hospitals and dying from respiratory issues.

Doctor Li said he was receiving patients from the wholesale seafood market in Wuhan who were showing symptoms of SARS and had been quarantined. The Wuhan market is known for its exotic food like bats, snakes, and Pangolins (scaly anteaters). It is thought that eating these creatures may have been the source of the Coronavirus.

Like here in Scotland, lots of hill walkers get things called ticks. They latch onto the legs and suck blood, and they can pass on Tick-borne diseases. To remove them, you need a special gadget or pointed tweezers, and you need to pull them out deep in the skin.

The Coronavirus – COVID-19 could have jumped from a bat and spread to a Pangolin, snake, etc., and, when eaten by humans, made them ill with symptoms of Pneumonia, causing death, especially in weak, ill people. Many believe that the creatures in the market were injected with or contaminated by the Coronavirus by the government through a nearby chemical laboratory. It was to control the city’s people who opposed the communist government.

It is very suspicious how Doctor Li died, and many think he was injected with the virus, making it murder. The police detained him before his death to keep him quiet. This happened before in 2004 during a SARS outbreak, when Jiang Yanyong was detained for nearly two months in Beijing.

The Virus travels around the world.

The Coronavirus has spread worldwide, with people travelling and visiting big cities. With most countries banning incoming flights, it seems the UK is still taking some flights from abroad, and the scary thing is, they aren’t quarantining people for 2 weeks to make sure they aren’t carrying the virus.

I have heard that social distancing queuing systems aren’t being followed at one of the airports in London, which seems scary for the spread of this virus and its containment.

Death rate varies from country to country, with China being the worst affected. As I type this letter on 03 April 2020, it seems that the city of Wuhan is coming out of its lockdown, with the number of virus cases low. Also, I have heard that other parts of China are experiencing outbreaks of the virus, so this nation isn’t out of the woods yet.

Northern Italy has been hit badly, with thousands, mostly elderly, dead. This pandemic worsened when Chinese New Year fell, and Chinese families travelled home to celebrate the festivities. But this was when the Virus had become a pandemic, and people carried it back to Italy, where it spread. It has been amazing to see the work of Samaritan Purse helping in some of the towns and planting the seed of salvation in that nation where the Church of Rome has its clutches on the people. I was shocked to hear the Pope say that you don’t need a priest to have sins forgiven at this time. Gosh, it makes me sick how the Church of Rome has led millions to the gates of Hell.

Spain has been drastically hit with many older people dying, such a beautiful country, and I pray that the number of deaths drops and somehow these people can find Jesus in these hard times, being under lockdown. Over 20 years ago, I went on holiday to one of the Islands off the Spanish coast and took with me a dozen Spanish KJV-translated Bibles to share and give out at one of the Monasteries that has the big statue of Jesus, a massive false idol of the Church of Rome.

The USA is in panic, especially New York, with the Coronavirus running rampant through the city. I am glad the President has taken the situation seriously, and I pray he will be truly guided by the scientists and not by the media’s fake news.

Various death rates.

Depending on the governments of the countries, there seem to be various death rates. This depends on the restrictions or quarantines that countries have implemented to contain the coronavirus best.

Here in the UK, we have a similar setup to Germany, which has a low number of deaths. They have confined older people and those with underlying health issues to their homes. Germany has also introduced social distancing, which is working here in Scotland. But we see silly people in groups, and the police are quick to disperse them.

I have heard India is really being hard-handed on its people, with people who are out on the street; they are being beaten up by the police with sticks. This isn’t humane and doesn’t bring respect to the police or the government. This nation needs help, and with deep prayer, you can’t treat people like dogs to get respect.

South Korea has been on top of this situation where they have, from day one, had testing stations and are testing thousands a day, and this has helped to keep the number of deaths down. They are a nation that wears masks because of past outbreaks such as SARS.

Who is most vulnerable?

The older Person

It is the older person; they are at a high risk of death, and they need to be protected. It is because the older you get, the weaker your immune system gets, unless you’re a 70-year-old ultra-runner like a friend, Mr Vernon, who is fit.

With no treatment for the Coronavirus, only your immune system can fight this battle. My family, some of the kids are on the autism spectrum and susceptible to colds and the flu.

A few weeks back, while listening to Tom Swarbrick, I knew from the way he was speaking that things were going to get worse, and he’s been a media champion in getting the truth out to help save lives.

So, we managed to stock up on multivitamins and vitamin C drinks, and we have a chart on the fridge to make sure we have taken our daily meds. This is to help build our immune systems, so that if we get the Coronavirus, it will be mild on us.

Interestingly, teenagers and people in their mid-40s seem to get mild cold-like symptoms for a week or so. Some don’t have symptoms, being asymptomatic, showing no symptoms, but some say they get a loss of sense of smell and taste.

The older you get, naturally, the body starts a gradual deterioration of the immune system called immunosenescence. Imagine the risk of someone in their late 70s to 90s getting the Coronavirus; it is a tough battle for life, and prayer is the power in this for the person’s salvation and health.

The cancer patient.

The immune system of someone with cancer can weaken drastically if the cancer affects the bone marrow, which helps the body fight infections. But I have seen with my parents and with nursing my Uncle up on the Isle of Lewis, I have seen the treatments they have undertaken to fight the cancer, which weakens the immune system. People with cancer are at high risk and need to be quarantined for at least 3 months until this pandemic is over.

The person with breathing and heart problems, etc.

Breathing issues and heart problems are big problems here in the UK. These people need to be kept protected indoors and quarantined because their bodies will be in danger, as the Coronavirus can lead to Pneumonia.

The term high-risk issues is mentioned in the news; it comes under people who have chronic health issues, people having cancer treatment, bone marrow cancer like leukaemia, etc, lung conditions like cystic fibrosis or severe asthma, etc, taking medication that makes you susceptible to infection, pregnant women are at risk, diabetics and people who smoke because the lungs are damaged by nicotine.

Catching Coronavirus, the symptoms are fever, coughing and breathing difficulties.

Spray Droplets

When you cough or sneeze, you produce droplets, like a spray of spit. Spit must be larger than 5 microns to be considered a droplet, which carries the virus from an infected person. When you cough or sneeze, the droplets fly out in a cone-shaped spray and can cover up to 2 meters. You get infected when you inhale through your nose and mouth, and even through your eyes, via the mucous membrane.

When you sneeze or have a runny nose, you tend to wipe the snot and spray from your nose with your hand. With your hand now infected with germs, it can be transferred by a handshake or by holding hands.

Also, when you sneeze or cough, nearby surfaces like tables, door handles, gates, and keyboards. I have a local walk I sometimes go on; it’s part of the John Muir Way and the Three Lochs Way. There are a few gates about, wooden and metal. On my walks, I have seen people open them without wiping their hands or sanitising them. The Coronavirus on someone can leave the virus on the handle, and on metal, the virus can last for a few hours. People need to think, be careful, and wash their hands constantly.

Aerosol transmission

The aerosol transmission effect is dangerous, and it is happening in a lot of crowded spaces, especially in churches that are still holding meetings without a care for this pandemic. People are not following government guidelines to keep social distancing and to stay in their own homes.

People are meeting in home groups of 10 or more, and this close space is suicide, and whoever is leading this, Pastor or homeowner, should be done for murder.

Imagine the congregation sitting or standing beside each other, praying, worshipping, and sharing the Lord’s Supper. If one person is infected, consider the number of droplets they spray.

With people sitting, hearing the preaching, praying, singing, and worshipping for an hour or two, imagine the droplets being sprayed about the room.

The louder you sing, the further you will spit, and the droplets will go further than 2 meters. When a droplet does this, it shrinks, is less than 5 microns and turns into a finer spray, becoming an aerosol. It’s like a deodorant spray; it is very light and floats, staying in the air.

The Coronavirus will travel beyond 2 meters, and people will get infected. Therefore, church and small group meetings need to stop; it’s suicide.

Unless the people meeting up are wearing face masks, safety glasses, face shields and protective gloves. I’m not sure what they are trying to prove, but it is just silly.

Conclusion of all this.

Churches are being very imaginative by hosting services online, with just the Pastor preaching. People are using Sermon Audio or live streams from websites or Facebook, etc.

Bible studies are being held via online programs like Zoom or private YouTube channels.

Also, for people with no internet, a CD ministry should be used more by posting CDs or small data sticks with MP3s on them.

Be careful, folk; don’t get caught in the mainstream media frenzy; be in the Bible and on your knees praying.
