I believe that we are coming to the end of the pandemic, because of the combination of masks, social distancing, and vaccination. Fortunately, this didn't require everyone to be on board. But we did suffer heavy casualties compared to other countries, even in China where the pandemic started because they took it seriously and acted in the necessary manner to protect the lives of their citizens.
I want to address some pure folly.
And I love how Mel tries to keep up the facade of not being Hemp Jr.

Leviticus 15:16

There's more I can quote but let me just sum this up for those who seek the bible for actual wisdom and not just to cherry-pick in order to support their own agenda.
Human beings in ancient times were not advanced in science and medicine. However, they still had to survive against viruses and bacteria. They witnessed the effects of these things and saw that one person could spread it to someone else. So when it says "unclean until even" it's saying that this person needs to be isolated for at least a day because they noticed that after a certain length of time, most people weren't contagious anymore.
They didn't have microscopes to see the things that were attacking them. But they saw the symptoms and knew they were being attacked. This is not rocket science. And humankind would not still exist if our ancestors hadn't figured this out.
They knew that whatever it was that was making people sick... that was "contagious"... could live outside the body for a period of time. It could live on the skin, in the saliva, and on clothes. So obviously, if someone is sneezing and their bodily fluids are spraying into the air then the virus can spread this way. So when people were coughing or sneezing, even our ancient ancestors were smart enough to have them isolated.
