Each day they also report what's going on at the front line (the hospitals) and what our front line workers are facing. They use war-time terminology and disaster-relief jargon because there's no other way to describe what's happening except in those extreme terms.
I had to go to the grocery yesterday and was absolutely amazed at the apparent callousness of the employees and shoppers toward this disease and it's spread. There was no semblance of social distancing or protection to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus. But, that's a whole other blog post. My point is, if people aren't going to take this seriously, then the numbers and dates being projected are going to be way off.
As of today, we have 24 confirmed cases in Montgomery County (OH): (1) 0-19 years old (3) 20-29 (3) 30-39 (5) 40-49 (5) 50-59 (6) 60-69 (1) 70-79. I believe they said that for every one confirmed case, you can assume 8 unconfirmed cases (but don't quote me on that of course). The 3 cases who are hospitalized are aged 60-69. Since most travelers have returned, the spread is now through community contact. #stayhome
Let us pray and put on the whole Armor of God:
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Ephesians 6:10-20 NKJV
*********
Please join me in praying for our front-line workers; the men and women of the medical field who are treating those besieged by this invisible enemy. Pray they stay healthy and don't spread this disease to their families. Pray that their prayers become our prayers.
They are in desperate need of help, personal protection equipment, ventilators, beds, and a host of other supplies. They need those who aren't sick to stay home in order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, but also to prevent overloading the health care system.
Join me in praying for those who are working non-stop to find solutions/answers to resolve the spread and deadliness of the disease and answers to lessen the strain on our country and our world. Pray that the Lord gives them wisdom and stamina.
Lastly, please join me in praying for our other workers. Those who are risking their lives to keep our country functioning: those who work in Nursing Homes, Truck Drivers, Delivery Personnel, Grocery, and other Food and Retail Workers, Governments including the Mayors, Governors, Postal System, Jobs and Family Services, Sanitation Department, Police and Fire Departments, and our Military.
Please pray every day for their safety, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health as they fight this war. Finally, please join me in praying that this strengthens their (and our) faith in Jesus and that others will come to know our Lord and Savior.
