God ‘using coronavirus for good’ because women being ‘pushed back into homes’, Christian blogger says – The Sun

A CHRISTIAN blogger claims God is "using coronavirus for good" because women are being "pushed back into homes" during the deadly pandemic.

Lori Alexander, who wrote The Power of a Transformed Wife, maintains the deadly disease that has killed at least 66 Americans and sickened over 3,600 people has a religious silver lining.


Although coronvirus may have killed and infected thousands of patients around the world, Alexander, 60, thinks there may be a warped silver lining.

"With the Corona virus [sic] pushing a lot of women back into their homes with their children (which is a good thing, in my opinion), here are some ideas to help you not be bored at home while being productive too," she wrote in one Facebook post.

This Christian fundamentalist believes abortions and sex changes are more damaging than a global pandemic.

She argues these things are “more destructive to our culture than this virus or the stock market crashing."

In a post titled "Fear The Coronavirus", she writes: “Maybe God will use this virus for good. Our culture needs a good wake up call.

"We’re all going to die someday and many times things such as this cause people to examine their lives more closely.

"The prospect of illness and/or death is where the rubber meets the road and has the ability to wake people up from their slumber."

The religious writer goes on to admit that she is not a "hand washer" and has been treating her recent colds with elderberry juice.


"We’re experiencing something in our country that has never happened in my lifetime," she continues.

"A national fear of a killer virus with the stock market plunging and the future unknown. It is a scary time for many but should we, as believers in Jesus Christ, give in to the fear?"

Despite a national emergency declaration, social distancing, a medical supply deficit, businesses closing, and a national curfew being implemented, Alexander appears to downplay the ongoing threat.

She said: “Remember, this virus is NOTHING close to being like the bubonic plague or polio, yet many are acting as if it were.”

Alexander does acknowledge that the killer coronavirus is a serious threat to our elderly but that “no children from zero to nine have died from it and most children have mild cases.”

In another post, Alexander advised "bored" women on activites they should do in the home during the crisis, including

Alexander's religious commentary comes less than a week after Trump banned flights to Europe and declared a national emergency.

The coronavirus panic has pummelled the stock market and led to grocery stores being overrun as the government scrambles to mitigate the spread.

Despite the blogger's relaxed approach to the virus, the deadly disease has actually infected a whopping 174,884 people around the world as countries like China, Italy and Iran are battered by the rapid spread.
