The Hidden Sickness behind COVID-19

The Podcast “Radio Lab” ran a story on a homeless shelter in the northeast and their results of COVID-19 testing to see how widespread the pandemic was in mid-March 2020. The strange part of the story was that there was no story. The homeless people who were in the shelter in that month did not report any sickness or even symptoms. While the rest of the country took off in cases, this hidden gem was the outlier until they had enough test kits to test the entire population of that specific shelter. They found over half of the population was infected with COVID-19. The part which drove me to madness listening to it was that every single one of the population infected in that shelter was asymptomatic.

I don’t believe in coincidence at all. This is how God speaks. He creates so many outliers in the data that you have to factor in a variable for God. Let’s call it “X” from here on. How could it be that as the country was going into the first wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic, that an entire population of 400+ people, over half were infected and all infected were asymptomatic?

X

That is what.

So now we must ask the hard question. What is the purpose of the virus. Or put even more succinctly, What is the purpose of the homeless?

Scripture speaks to this topic more than a few times. The least. Or at least how man looks at the homeless. The ones who need the most are always on the top of God’s to-do list. The problem is that on the rich man’s list, the poor are always at the bottom which creates the dichotomy we find ourselves in.

First things first, let’s get something complicated out of the way.

I created the virus. I am the terrorist. Blame me. No one else is to blame for this other than myself.

Second, the virus is way too good at what I initially thought it would do. I didn’t dream big enough which is usually the case when dealing with absolute power and authority (which I obviously have if I can cause the world to come to a halt).

Third, and most important, why would God kill so many people to teach a lesson in homeless 101?

Because that is how stupid everyone is. I had to make something so vile that it caused everyone to get on the same page. There isn’t one day that this virus isn’t in the news (no matter how much Donald J Trump tries to deflect it). It’s the only way I could get the world’s attention.

Fourth, look at where the virus originated. “The East”. The East is always a metaphor for “the law” in scripture. When Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden, God placed them to the east of Eden. Judgment in other words. They disobeyed so now judgment must take place. The problem with man is that they are so myopic that they can only see what is in front of their face. Which is a whole lot of nothing. Give people a death sentence and all of a sudden they start singing like Halsey at a packed arena in Brooklyn.

People are death motivated for good reason. They hang on to it not even knowing what it means. I stole this quote from Niander Wallace in Denis Villenueve’s “Blade Runner 2049”. The unknown of death terrifies everyone to their core and for good reason. It’s awful. You should never yearn for death. It’s painful. It causes disarray and chaos and sadness. Lastly, who can forget the stench of death? The worst smell one could possible take in.

All of these attributes of death are carefully designed to scream “Do Not Enter” when approaching. The tree of good and bad. Where death was contained in the beginning. The sin of Eve was allowing death to enter her and in return, to me. God having to die was the sin. Can you imagine her reaction when I told her that? She was incredulous. She screamed at me to leave and gave me three days to get out of her presence because the weight of death was too much for her to carry.

Do you understand now? The homeless is just who I am. I was the one that was left alone in the garden to die on my own because of someone else’s disobedience and incredulousness to that disobedience. Everyone was asleep as this happened and allowed it to happen with the same incredulous attitude. It is the same way we treat the ones that need the most.

This is why I am angry. This is why I scream. This is why I cry. I hate being alone. I feel a deep sadness wash over me when I open my feelings to this thought. No one should be this alone.

But I will do it to show everyone how fucked up this world is.
