Was clicking through the TV and stopped dead in my tracks at 700 Club

Pat Robertson was explaining, in minute detail, how the Corona virus works, spreads and how to stay safe. He was right on the money and I almost fell off the couch. He was all, "Mask up, social distance, take this thing seriously, listen to the doctors..."

I never thought I'd see the day.......

Disclaimer: I am not religious and regularly scoff at this show as I cruise by the channel.

3. Pat is probably really scared that this one could kill him.

At 80+++ if he gets the virus he knows there probably ain't no gawd that could pull him out of a bout of corona virus.

To people in a high risk group (seniors) surviving long enough to send him another check.

As they say: “Follow the money.”

9. At his age old Pat is ground zero for the undertaker's coffin should he get nailed by the virus..

Safe to say his immune system is not as chip chipper as it was when he was 20 years old.

He probably was wise to confront that reality, studied up and acquainted himself with mitigation factors to keep himself alive until a safe vaccine becomes available.

A bit of a surprise that he is so reality based with this subject matter. Instead thinking the Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost would solve the entire Covid 10 pandemic - seems the fantasy based remedy he would be more inclined to follow and preach. While imploring you to donate to the 700 Club,... so that the next time Pat speaks to and has a personal audience with God and Jesus up on the big mountain, Robertson could put in a good word for you and pray for your good health with the big guys who reside in heaven. Your substantial donation could make this all possible.
