Sharon Ng Sorry, I do not know.
Maybe until everyone is purified, then we can rejoice under God's haven? If the whole universe (think of it as - with my limited knowledge by searching "basic set notation" minutes ago - "let T be an infinite set of infinities of the universe") is only determined by energy, frequency and vibration, then I think our particles should cool down as much as we can - shake less, and put God in our hearts. Speaking from experience, my whole body shook volatilely and I had spasms when I was being "exorcised".
In conclusion, only God knows and I am just a human trying to be as honest as I could, if not an anti-Christ.

George Yes you can pray to your God, yet, still the doctors will save the World from this pandemic.

Indeed, I am not wiping out their credit but I think you know little about Christianity. It is the faith in Him that gives us strength. We do not ask for THINGS from Him like how in some traditional religions people offer THINGS to gods in return of something. Christianity does not perform that way. We ask for healing, direction and strength, etc. - spiritual guidance. We confess and ask for mercy and repentance. Nobody is always strong. Some turn to God. You may ask some Christian medics who do that. It is healing or least make the suffering bearable.
Christianity is not merely an ideology. It is a way of living, so the Church is very strict on which churches are "legal". For example, Mormons are not accepted anywhere. Cults like the Satanists of course are not welcomed.
By the way, doctors are not the only one who save the World. Do they help with the overpopulation?

Terry Folks we have to understand that we are on the verge of collapse and the following explains clearly why.


Ignoring the immediate concerns of the current virus, albeit others should also follow long-term - both the current and future viruses can be clearly tied to the core issues we face.

Overpopulation

Biosphere destruction

Resource depletion

Climate change


These can then be connected back to Adam Smith's - Wealth of Nations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ The_Wealth_of_Nations and its premise that an Invisible Hand can guide infinite economic growth in the finite context of this planet. Economics, since inception, thus chose to ignore physics, nature and the impact of exponentials. As we know, infinite exponential industrial growth is unsustainable because at the end of the day - Nature Bats Last. - and we are running out of time.

A study by MIT in 1972 affirms that we ultimately face Limits to Growth and we are on target with their models.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lim...

In the end, economists are madmen believing that their abstractions can overcome the laws of physics, mathematics, and nature. Utterly insane. But still, I believe we are not evil and it is not really our fault - as we are just simply acting in accordance with the laws of the universe - as Paul Chefurka points out in his blog post - Paradise Lost.

I make reference to Chris Clugston's recent book - BLIP - that pretty much summarizes our predicament and also acts to affirm MIT's Limits to Growth models. https://youtu.be/cdXdaIsfio8%20-

Meaning we need a new paradigm in Economics based on the constraints of physics, nature, and exponentials. whereby, it focuses solely on the - WEALTH OF PLANETS - without the absurd national interest of an "Invisible Hand" and similar economic abstractions invented and applied, since Adam Smith's original work.

Collectively these economic abstractions and constructs have set the stage - for not only, the destructive 200 Years Industrial Age, but also the possible near-term extinction of our species.
