How many JW`s have been infected with Covid19 in the USA ,How many have died ?

Due to the high number of people that have been infected in the USA ,particulary in NY / NY State and elsewhere and the amount of deaths that have occured there ,I just wonder how many JW`s have been struck down by this virus ?

In HQ?

In Bethels ?

Among the R&F , brothers and sisters in the congregations ?

Could they claim they, as a body, have been spared from this virus ? by Jehovah / Christ Jesus ? In this time of the end being so close as they claim ?

One might ask, if not ,why not? If they are the new chosen people of Jehovah / Christ Jesus in this 21st Century ?

One final question a Jehovah`s Witness should ask themselves .

Since Jesus Christ has been ruling in the heavens since 1914 ,it is now 106 years since he took up the throne and he cant warn us and protect us from this virus ? What practical good / value has his rulership been to any of us in these last days ?

If he can`t protect any of us from such a thing as a virus that ultimately Jehovah must have created in the first place .?

This was reported on jwdotorg on April 30th ''Though Jehovah’s people have responsibly employed protective measures during this public health crisis, we are not exempt from its potential deadly effects. (Ecclesiastes 9:11) Sadly, to date, 872 of our dear brothers and sisters worldwide have died as a result of contracting the COVID-19 virus. Our fellow worshippers have been quick to support and comfort those grieving. (1 Corinthians 12:26)''

So they certainly havent had any protection by their god. They are just as at risk as anybody else.

Other than dying from Covid-19, the next worse thing that could happen to any jw is having to live the rest of their life as a jw!

just saying!

road to nowhere

I hope they can count better than the government. We are supposed to report any sniffle to the elders. I dont know what they will do then: make us quarantine zoom?

If that is what it takes to throttle the jokehovians, so be it. I would rather have the 872 jokehovians dead and have the whole religion throttled than have zero jokehovians die from coronavirus and have an extra 6 billion die from being enslaved under communism and the whole population suffering. And no, I don't see them as heroes (as I might someone that works right in the front lines, such as medical doctors and first responders who get direct exposure). I see them as idiots.

Sadly, to date, 872 of our dear brothers and sisters worldwide have died as a result of contracting the COVID-19 virus.

That means probably hundreds if not thousands of JW`s have been infected with this virus ?

It doesn`t say much for Christ Jesus reigning as King over his subjects does it ?

If he can`t protect them from this a virus that Jehovah has created , then what good is he ?

What good is his Kingdom ? and it doesn`t inspire any confidence for his 1000 year reign does it.

Can the WTB&TS be trusted to give an accurate number of the deaths worldwide by covid-19 ? or do you think they are capable of downplaying the numbers so as not to alarm the R&F ?

With the amount of infections in the USA ,I would think there would be a significant number of JW`s that would have died their .

Personally I wouldn`t put it past them ,what do you think?

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-covid-deaths-per-million

If there have been 872 deaths so far among the 8 million JW's (worldwide) , that means they have around 109 deaths per million. According to the data at the link above, they are below the U.S death rate so far but they are well above the death rate per million in Germany and many other countries. (roll your cursor over the map to see the data for each country)

Am I figuring this correctly?

How many JW`s have been infected with Covid19 in the USA ,How many have died ?
