FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has urged churches across the state to cancel worship services to help prevent spread of the new coronavirus. It was among several steps announced Wednesday. Beshear acknowledges that recommending cancellation of church services is a “big step.” But he says it’s needed to help protect people. He also says state prisons are being closed to visitors. And non-essential out-of-state travel has been suspended for state employees, and he’s recommending that businesses do the same. Eight cases of the virus have been diagnosed in Kentucky. Patients range in age from 27 to 69.

Did he also shut down theaters and restaurants?
Varnel Watson
IDK but the Chinese buffet had ALL its chairs and boots out and Star War troopers were steam spraying them
The question to be asked is
would they close WAL-MART too
because that would spell a national disaster Alan Smith William DeArteaga may have the scoop on that

Does anyone know anyone that have coronavirus.
Anyone you work with? Has your doctors office been quarantine?
Schools have been shut down, concerts shut down, and even Some churches. NBA and flights suspended Now, if you hadn’t been suspicious of your media controlling by fear then you might should take a second look at it.
Lyndsey Dunn
Troy Day I doubt the media is controlling Trump by fear. He is setting forth precautionary actions
Varnel Watson
Lyndsey Dunn who do you think is doing this then
Lyndsey Dunn
Troy Day the media always exaggerates. But when leaders like trump, uncontrolled by media,are taking action there must be a little something going on

I wonder if the canceling of services would cause many to not come back.

Some would say it is Prudent to cancel services. Other would say we have a lack of faith. Our Senior Saints are precious to us. I have no problem canceling during Snow, so no one gets hurt. It’s hard for us to keep 6’ away from each other. There is always Sister I Don’t Care, Jesus will Protect Me Give Me Some Sugar.

would our KY readers have church this Sunday?

it seems USA health system makes it too expensive for citizens to be tested, so the scale of the pendemic in USA is unknown. Trump has created a dangerous climate of lies about extent of pandemic in USA. Australia’s most influential government minister, Peter Dutton, returned this week from USA with coronavirus and Dutton has since been in contact at meetings with the rest of the national government and also State Premiers. Only time will tell how many thousands in USA are infected.

actually it is worse in Australia RichardAnna Boyce
