I avoid eucharistic ministers. Just plain avoid them even if I have to travel across the church to get into the "priest line". They do not have consecrated hands. I notice several others do the same and cross lines to get to the priest.
I've been wondering if this pandemic virus scenario is an unfortunate bio weapon accident or a set up for a stronger more controlling global government. On the one hand, if I had been working in that lab and was accidentally exposed to the virus, I probably wouldn't tell anyone because they'd probably just take you out back and shoot you -- it's China after all. OR...maybe the whole thing was planned to terrorize people, to cause a global recession/depression, to ensure Trump wasn't reelected, and then to 'save' the world through new global economic policies, and stringent new health measures including a mandatory corona virus vaccine. I think the degree of evil controlling the world at this time makes something like this plausible. It's why the Blessed Mother has warned us over and over to amend our lives. I would be very suspicious of a vaccine. Those who received the vaccine developed for the SARs outbreak several years ago became more susceptible to severe respiratory viruses.
I have thought this myself. I have also thought that this caught them by surprise. They had a "scenario" but not so soon. This was an accident. They didnt have all their ducks in a row.i dont believe it was meant to hit china this way and show so starkly how dangerously dependent on china for goods we are. I'm not even sure this was the virus they meant to unleash. The timing is off. I could be wrong but it's too far out from the election to stop Trump. As far as a vaccine goes I'm not sure what to think. I've got to pray on it.
Lots of charts and abstracts here: "What Are The Odds?" - A Timeline Of Facts Linking Covid-19, HIV, & Wuhan's Secret Bio-Lab Having been permanently banned from Twitter for sharing the publicly-available details of the man who ran the show as far a bat-soup virology in Wuhan's super-secret bio-lab - which is now a common talking point and rapidly shifting from conspiracy theory to conspiracy fact - we thought a reminder of how we got here was in order... Scott Burke, CEO of crypto-related firm Groundhog, unleashed what we feel may be the most complete timelines of facts to help understand the controversial links between COVID-19 and HIV, and COVID-19 and Wuhan Institute of Virology. Want to go down a (strictly fact-based) rabbit hole? The S protein binds to the targeted cell through the ACE2 receptor, and boom, your cell is infected and becomes a virus replication factory. After the first SARS outbreak, there was a “land rush” to find other coronaviruses. A collection of SARS-*like* coronaviruses was isolated in several horseshoe bat species over 10 years ago, called SARS-like CoVs, or SL-CoVs. Not SARS exactly, but coronaviruses similar to SARS. In 2007, a team of researchers based in Wuhan, in conjunction with an Australian laboratory, conducted a study with SARS, a SARS-like coronavirus, and HIV-1. The researchers noted that if small changes were made to the S protein, it broke how SARS-CoV worked - it could no longer go in via ACE2. So they inferred the S protein was critical to the SARS attack vector. All the tested evidence here: https://www.pnas.org/content/106/14/5871
Agreed! I keep going back to Occam’s Razor - the simplest explanation is almost always the likeliest. China, in their arrogance, screwed up. In doing so, they shot themselves in the foot, and by extension the world.
And it involved the Gates Foundation and other Deep State groups as well, in the shadowy background. Imho

This link was advertised today on a news program on Fox and I thought that it might be a little helpful to post it here although I think that most of these suggestions have been discussed profusely on MOG already. Btw, thank you everyone for all of your suggestions and for your concern for each other here and our loved ones, etc. https://www.ready.gov/pandemic Pandemic Before a Pandemic Store a two week supply of water and food. Periodically check your regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home. Have any nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins. Get copies and maintain electronic versions of health records from doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other sources and store them, for personal reference. Get help accessing electronic health records. Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home. During a Pandemic Limit the Spread of Germs and Prevent Infection Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

President Trump seems to think so from his press conferences on the status of things corona here and there. I hope the info he has is correct.
I can't read that article because there's a notice saying that I have already accessed my free content for this month. See this video, starting at the 12:25 mark, where John Campbell talks about the similarities between the genomes of the virus infecting people in different areas of the US. He says that the similaries probably mean that the virus came from a common source: Could the fact that the virus genomes of the two Brazilian patients are different simply mean that they each caught the virus from a different source?
http://wqphradio.org/ Bishop McManus blesses the statue of Our Lady of America Bishop Robert Joseph McManus blesses the statue of Our Lady of America On Friday, February 28th, Bishop Robert McManus, of the Diocese of Worcester, Massachusetts, graciously received members of WQPH, who brought the custom-ordered statue of Our Lady of America which had arrived from Ecuador on the 21st. Bishop McManus blessed the statue and asked to keep it for visits among the churches of the Diocese, and also to participate in 40 Days for Life and other pro-life events. The requested was granted, and the members of WQPH expressed gratitude for playing a part to honor Our Lady with the spread of this devotion. Our Lady of America brings the promise of peace to Americans if she “is placed, after being solemnly carried in procession, in the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC” and honored there (Sr Mildred Mary Neuzil / Our Lady of America / pg 14). And she offers a remarkable grace for our children: “I, their Mother, will teach them to become pure like my Heart…” (pg 11) WQPH thanks Bishop McManus for his warm reception of our members and the statue of Our Lady of America. We mark this day as a significant sign of hope! Bishop McManus stands with the statue of Our Lady of Americ A tip for avoiding plagues from a 19th century Stigmatist Marie-Julie Jahenny was born in Blain, France, on February 12th, 1850. She received the Stigmata in 1873, and throughout her life saw apparitions of Christ, Mary, and many saints. She also had prophesies for the future and for her own times, particularly this prophesy about a beloved Pope Pius X: At the death of Leo XIII, and a few days before the opening of the conclave, Marie-Julie had the following revelation about the future Pope: “The Adriatic Cardinal is chosen by God. His reign will be that of Christ. He will not last very long and will be called Pius.” We Are Warned: The Prophecies of Marie-Julie Jahenny / pg 18 And if you are familiar with the Purple Scapular, this was a vision of Marie-Julie (Page 582). Also among her visions was a means to be protect against the plague. It’s too simple not to try! Simply write the following on a piece of paper, and swallow it with some water (if you can get it blessed that’s even better): O Jesus, Conqueror of Death, save us. O Crux ave, Spes unica! Deadly plagues: the only remedy to protect yourself: Swallow a very small piece of paper on which is written: ‘O Jesus, Vanquisher of death, save us! O Crux ave, Spes unica!’ We Are Warned: The Prophecies of Marie-Julie Jahenny / pg 574
One of the commentators, Chris Martenson of Peak Prosperity, has been saying for a week that the numbers and age distributions of the outbreaks in Italy and especially Iran are off, and he heavily suspected the virus has mutated. The two genomes in Brazil would be consistent with either mutation of the virus within Brazil, or two separate sources on infection, likely one directly from China and another from Iran or Italy.
MONDAY, MARCH 02, 2020 Communion and Coronavirus: Pertinent Law for the Ordinary Form PETER KWASNIEWSKI A reader wrote to me: I saw your article about how Holy Communion cannot be given in the hand at the Extraordinary Form. However, in a church I attend for daily Ordinary Form Mass, an announcement has just been posted that the pastor requires us to receive now in the hand because of the coronavirus. My understanding is that we can receive in the hand by permission but reception on the tongue cannot be taken away, though searching for a document stating as much has been difficult. Can you point me in the right direction? Here are four pertinent texts: Letter of April 3, 1985, from the Congregation for Divine Worship to the National Conference of Catholic Bishops [Prot. 720/85]: The Holy See, since 1969, while maintaining the traditional manner of distributing communion, has granted to those Episcopal Conferences that have requested it, the faculty of distributing communion by placing the host in the hands of the faithful… The faithful are not to be obliged to adopt the practice of communion in the hand. Each one is free to communicate in one way or the other. Response by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Notitiae (April 1999): Query: Whether in dioceses where it is allowed to distribute Communion in the hands of the faithful, a priest or extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion may restrict communicants to receive Communion only in their hands, not on the tongue. Response: Certainly it is clear from the very documents of the Holy See that in dioceses where the Eucharistic bread is put in the hands of the faithful, the right to receive the Eucharistic bread on the tongue still remains intact to the faithful. Therefore, those who restrict communicants to receive Holy Communion only on in the hands are acting against the norms, as are those who refuse to Christ’s faithful [the right] to receive Communion in the hand in dioceses that enjoy this indult. General Instruction of the Roman Missal. Issued by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, November 12, 2002; US edition 2011, n. 161: If Communion is given only under the species of bread, the Priest raises the host slightly and shows it to each, saying, The Body of Christ. The communicant replies, Amen, and receives the Sacrament either on the tongue or, where this is allowed, in the hand, the choice lying with the communicant. Redemptionis Sacramentum—Instruction On Certain Matters to be Observed or to be Avoided Regarding the Most Holy Eucharist, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, March 25, 2004, art. 92: Although each of the faithful always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue, at his choice, if any communicant should wish to receive the Sacrament in the hand, in areas where the Bishops’ Conference with the recognitio of the Apostolic See has given permission, the sacred host is to be administered to him or her. (Again, to avoid all possible confusion, all of the above legislation applies only to the Ordinary Form or Novus Ordo Missae.) I will repeat what one canon lawyer wrote to me on February 29: From my perspective, a bishop cannot require anyone to receive in the hand. Even in the Ordinary Form, the prescription is communion on the tongue, with the right to approach and receive in the hand. The norm is the norm, and it is based on the right of the faithful to choose how to worship God at a moment in the Mass that is deeply personal and not communal in nature. My opinion is based on the repeated jurisprudence from the Holy See upholding the rights of a Catholic to receive communion on the tongue while kneeling during an OF Mass, even if his or her bishop has issued a particular law to the contrary. Such laws are considered suggestive in nature and in no way binding. If this is true for a bishop’s law, a fortiori it is true of a pastor of a parish. A layman may not be denied the Blessed Sacrament unless he is a notorious public sinner. A priest who, on his own initiative, told the people they must receive in the hand would be violating the law and leading the people into the violation of it. A second canon lawyer agreed: In a medical emergency the bishop has a right to take reasonable steps to protect the health of parishioners. That being said, the faithful should do what they want and feel no obligation to receive Holy Communion in the hand. They cannot be required to do that in either the OF or (theoretically) the EF in emergency circumstances. On a practical note, many have pointed out that germs are spread as easily by frequent hand contact as by placing the host in the mouth (which, if the priest knows what he’s doing, should not involve any transfer of saliva), as Bishop Athanasius Schneider has recently explained.
