I thought we were going to see this trickle to and end soon, but it hasn't.  Here are the latest including a gem, where Tony Spell, the Louisiana pastor that keeps ignoring social distancing, gets an arrest warrant after trying to kill a protestor with his church bus!

• Tony Spell, our favorite Louisiana "Branch Covidian", sees falling numbers in people turning out for his infection parties (church services) after parishioner dies of the virus.  Say's turnout numbers are a lie.  Everything is a lie with this guy. - https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/coronavirus/article_4286c264-828d-11ea-88cd-8f46245d6a4a.html
