Advice for Assembly Gatherings During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Mar 11 · 11 minutes

This episode is going to be a little different from past episodes in that I have some advice to share with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic. The advice comes from several assembly doctors who are paying close attention to the spread of this disease and have made recommendations specifically for assembly gatherings. The Recommendations, Verbatim I am not a medical doctor. I do have a Bachelor of Science degree where I majored in Biology including the study of microbiology, but I am not going to embellish or provide additional commentary to what the medical professionals are recommending in this letter that they have provided for distribution below. The doctors who have assembled this advice are: David Vallance MD (Livonia, Michigan) Scott Yaekle MD (Livonia, Michigan) Michael Renzi DO (Barrington, NJ) Ricardo Castro MD (Santiago, Chile) Alexander Higgins MD (Barrington, NJ) Lindsay Parks DO (Indiana, PA) The Advice Here is the content of the document assembled by these doctors. The title reads, “Advice for Assembly Gatherings During the COVID-19 Pandemic”. Many assembly Christians have had serious concerns about the COVID-19 or SARS-CoV-2 (2019 Novel Coronavirus) pandemic, which as of this writing has been confirmed in almost 100 countries, 38 US states, and Canada. The situation is rapidly evolving, and public health authorities are not sure whether the outbreak can be contained by quarantine, or how long the pandemic will last. As of March 2, the World Health Organization has estimated the death rate worldwide at 3.4% (by comparison, the death rate from influenza in the U.S. is 0.1%). While there has been much confusion about this virus, including misinformation, and media hype and hoax, the physician-authors of this article take this VERY seriously. The pandemic is spreading, and we all feel that this could be very significant, AND widespread. The Christian has a resource that is unmatched- faith in the God, Who controls the universe. He and He alone is our Rock, our Refuge, our place of safety and security. His promises never fail. He knows all about this, and this has not taken Him by surprise. Prayer, trust in His Almighty hand, and intercession for those affected, should be our primary and constant priority. Nahum 1:7 “The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that trust in Him.” COVID-19 arose near Wuhan, China. It is “novel,” meaning that no humans have been exposed to it before, and thus no one has immunity to it. The infection typically begins with a sore throat, sinus congestion, and high fever (over 102 F, or 38.9 C). A deep cough from bronchial or lung infection may ensue. Nausea and vomiting are common. While healthy people usually recover, those with chronic lung disease, heart disease, or compromised immune systems (e.g. from chemotherapy) may succumb to the pneumonia and its complications (e.g. respiratory failure, kidney failure). The elderly are at greatest risk; thankfull...
