Yesterday's RCAB Conference - One Final Housekeeping Item - TRACING








I listened to yesterdays 'rona conference put on by the Archdiocese of Boston and there is one more problem that needs to be resolved.   See below email to the 'pandemic team'.

Other than this one remaining housecleaning item, there were no other concerns.  

I am reaching out to other MA diocese to confirm whether they have received similar instructions from the Department of Health.   

Expecting people with a sniffle, sneeze or cough stay inside their home - even if it comes from hayfever - is a perfectly reasonable expectation.

I have not encountered anyone in a supermarket or retail store with any kind of symptom.  I believe people are doing what is necessary to keep the public safe.  

If a person shows up at a retail store with a symptom, asking them to leave, encouraging them to call their doctor, cleaning the area - these are all rational and reasonable responses.

But the state is not requiring any other business open to the public to approach people to fill out personal information medical form to be turned over to state health official for tracking --so it is extremely suspicious they have asked church officials to do so.

Imagine the pandemonium if the Department of Health required every business open to the public to find people who are sniffling and do a medical intake for mandatory testing?  We would be getting emergency alerts on our phone every two minutes and be expected to quarantine every time we left the house.     

Aside from this violating HIPAA, every store would be shut back down by the state.

This is suspicious for a door they will use to shut churches back down.  

If you receive any instructions from your parish to do this, please reach out to me and provide materials and instructions. 

Thank you,

Ms. Sullvian

During yesterday's conference, you indicated church staff will be required to watch people in the pews and if anyone sniffles/coughs, they are  to be approached where church personnel has been instructed to fill out a form which will then be turned in to the Department of Health.

That is not going to happen.

Please direct me to the person who has given you these instructions.  

Thank you, Carol McKinley

I Smell a Rat - "Contact Tracing"

Every day we walk out the door, we come into contact with hundreds of healthy people who would test positive for COVID. We would be on house arrest forever if the Department of Public Health required us to quarantine every time we encountered someone with caronavirus. There are no efforts to 'trace' covid-positive people at Stop and Shop, Home Depot or Dunkin Donuts. What's the purpose of the hysterics at the Archdiocese of Boston?

President Trump Declares Houses of Worship "Essential" Places that Provide Essential Services

CDC issuing guidance at President Trump direction. President Trump said many governors gave exemptions to liquor stores and abortion providers as essential services but did not provide the same exemptions. The President said it is very important that governors open houses of worship immediately and if they do not, he will override governors. I'll update as soon as CDC guidance is issued. The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad Let the distance shores rejoice Clouds and thick darkness surround Him Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne A fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side His lightning lights up the world The earth sees and trembles The mountains melt like wax before the Lord Before the Lord of all the earth The Heavens proclaim His righteousness And all peoples will see His glory  UPDATE: Guidelines Posted.
