- DoreenMichele 7y agoMaybe it needs a "/s" somewhere? You would think my disgust and contempt would be clear from context, but maybe not.
- nate_meurer 7y agoIt was absolutely clear. I suspect a few of the downvotes are coming from some of those "loving christians" you mention.
- dang 7y agoPlease don't take HN threads further into religious flamewar. We don't need that here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- JauntTrooper 7y agoI agree, but my guess is the last sentence. It did become a global pandemic. Today 0.8% of people age 15-49 are infected.
- RHSeeger 7y ago> the "sinners" that most folks wished would drop dead anyway because we're so loving and Christian and all that. That is why you got downvotes, I would imagine.
