U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams just spoke out to say that he does not believe it’s a coincidence that the deadliest week of COVID-19 yet is happening during Holy Week.
While talking to CBN News, Dr. Adams talked about the importance of leaning on faith during this difficult time. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this is happening at this time,” he said. “During this week we celebrate the ultimate sacrifice that was made for us. God sent His only son to die for us, and it was sad, initially, but then we saw salvation at the end of it.”
Dr. Adams went on to urge people to pray for those close to them. “I would tell them to pray for each other,” Adams said. “I would tell them to look for their neighbors. Social distancing doesn’t have to mean social disengagement.”
This comes one week after Adams warned that this week would be our “Pearl Harbor moment” in battling the coronavirus. “Well, it’s tragically fitting that we’re talking at the beginning of Holy Week because this is going to be the hardest and the saddest week of most Americans’ lives, quite frankly,” Adams said while appearing on “Fox News Sunday.”
“This is going to be our Pearl Harbor moment, our 9/11 moment, only it’s not going to be localized,” he added. “It’s going to be happening all over the country. And I want America to understand that.”
Adams went on to say that while Americans should be optimistic, they should also be cautious. “I want Americans to understand that, as hard as this week is going to be, there is a light at the end of the tunnel if everyone does their part for the next 30 days,” he said.
Adams then said that COVID-19 will be the greatest test of Americans’ lives. “This is going to be a test of our resolve,” Adams said. “It’s going to be the test of our lives. But I am confident that we can come out on the other side, based on the data and based on what I know about the American people.”

How sad that it takes a terrible disaster to get our society to openly talk about something that practically ALL of us either strongly or approvingly believe in..God. It’s like we’re only allowed to whisper that word or ignore God’s existence when in the public arena, so as not to “offend” 5 or 6 people (who wake up everyday looking for things to be offended by…conservative things, that is)…
What a blessing to have this man at this time. He is truly a gift from God.
Who, in their right mind, would listen to anyone who doesn’t believe in God..
Choice is not manipulation…or else you are also manipulated. Any thinking cogent person knows that there is no organization, without intelligence.
Pull your head out of the sand people- there is no god, it’s how they manipulate you
God has always existed. YOU…nor the the rest of mankind did not.
There is no God xx
This guy brings back memories of Joycelyn Elders. Great pick Trump….right from the midset that brought us Fauci and Birx (from the Bill Gates globalist troup)….and Kushner.
This America will NEVER move away from religion and the belief in The Almighty..
God will SURELY destroy the evil in the world. That includes people.
This is the most ridiculous and biased article I’ve ever read. Do not even try to compare Pearl Harbor to this. This is not just “Holy Week” it is also passover. Let’s not forget the other religions that are just as important as christianity. I’ve never read the bible, and I don’t ever intend to, but I’m pretty sure god is supposed to live everyone, and wouldn’t be killing innocent people. Let’s move away from religion and actually look at science and real facts.
Thank you!
I agree with this part of his statement.”…he does not believe it’s a coincidence that the deadliest week of COVID-19 yet is happening during Holy Week.” I do not believe in coincidence. This was a deliberately planned and executed attack on the American people by a scurrilous regime with the backing of “hate all things American” forces within the USA!
The virus was engineered and used as a bio weapon to destroy America as a nation, both politically and economically. Those who launched this attack want to see America on its knees begging for mercy!
This “faceless” cabal underestimated the indomitable fighting spirit of President Trump and patriotic Americans! They cannot defeat him or the people! America will rise from the ashes like the phoenix and will be more powerful and unstoppable than ever.
Always remember these words!
“Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”
Sing it at home with your loved ones on Easter Sunday for just as Christ rose from the dead to everlasting life, so, too, shall the people of America.
God’ promise to HIS own, ” though a thousand fall at your left hand, and a thousand at your right hand, no harm or ruin shall come near you “. Or, ” though your sins be scarlet red, they may become as white as snow “, as a world how RED have we become, now is the time to not only PRAY, but also to reflect on our errant ways as a planet, and repent and believe in the ONE sent to save the world, this is but a wake up call to each individual, nation, and planet. Shed red, seek WHITE ?
GOD BLESS, Shalom
A good man. Too bad these damn ignorant mexicans won’t listen.
Just you like to hear from those you love, God likes to hear from us. “John 15:7 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”
That’s what the liberal news does to the American people everyday
Prayer….talking to yourself and expecting something to happen. Interesting concept. If there was an, all knowing, omnipresent god, what good do you suppose prayer does? Are you trying to tell god something that he doesn’t know? Or are you trying to convince him that you know better than he and that he should change his mind about something?
That’s laughable..coming from someone that believes that everything is a big continuous happy accident….that created ITSELF from nothing. That’s what an atheist MUST believe…when it cries out that there is no God.
Tell me how, and why there is ANYTHING. Go on. Make it believable. Tell me how ORGANIZATION is accidental. How anything can exist without intelligent direction. I’ll wait.
You are so absolutely ridiculous do the rest of us a favor and pull your lip over your head and swallow maybe slit your wrist while you’re at it too
Finally someone with common sense. When are people going to realize that a book written by racist, homosexual, sexist white men who have absolutely no connection to “god” is not how the world functions and it’s time we start listening to education and science.
I’ll wait for your answer. While , I’m waiting, I’ll see how many scientific THEORIES have changed in the past year…and the past week. The Bible hasn’t changed in four thousand years.
you know what sounds like something a toddler would believe? That there is a mystery all creature in he sky that created the world! no ones ever seen him and the book we follow was written by random people but it absolutely has to be true just because we say so! even though so many ideas in christianity have already been disproved by science we still believe it anyway because we don’t know anything else! now that sounds like soemthing only a toddler would believe.
Sound about like something Adolf would write. Sounds like something a toddler would believe
This is hilarious. You would think at some point people would look at this logically and wonder what the heck they were thinking….let’s see, god impregnated a “virgin” so he could be born on earth, leaving a guy named Joe to wonder, if god supposedly made Adam from dirt, why he had to screw around with Mary. Then god as man then let himself be killed to free us from sin….sin that he allowed in the first place. Then less than 48 hours later he became zombie jesus, hung around unrecognizable for a few weeks and then floated off, never to be seen again. Interesting story there.
God wants to bring us together and bring out the best in us toward all of mankind. Not just those who share our faith and think like us.
I’m a Christian and this as nothing to do with holy week l.
I’d say presenting BOTH articles is a sign that they are NOT like the mainstream, Liberal media…but fair.
Let’s see if I have this correct. Yesterday this site presents an article slamming Democratic Governors for trying to close down churches to help stop the spread of COVID19. Today you are praising the US Surgeon General for saying the same thing. Can you be more hypocritical?
God says that homosexuality IS a sin. I will take HIS word over yours. China leaves their people no free will. THAT is demonic. Abortion is murder, murder is a sin…and life begins at CONCEPTION. Not before. A woman CAN do anything with her body. She can also sin, when she does it. We are repairing , and improving our healthcare…if Democrats will get on board. Pick up a bible…save this world, AND your soul.
Do you need help? I think you do. China is not a demonic country you racist. Homosexuality is not a sin. Why is that all sins are equal, yet I see christians wearing ripped jeans all the time — should they be condemned to? And what about miscarriages ? What about when women get their periods? Tht is a live egg with the exact same potential to become human. Why is that not a sin? Women can choose to do what they want with their bodies. The only thing cutting us off from medicine is our own government. There’s a reason why the U.K. has been constantly ranked the best health care — interesting how it’s also free.Close your bible and start reading what’s actually going on in the world. You guys need to get off these articles that publish nothing but their racist agenda. This entire article is trash.
YES, AMEN!! Exactly what’s behind this trial by satan. God allows this and other things to come into our lives t both mature us in our Spiritual walk to become like Jesus and to cause others to turn to Him as it says in the Scriptures that it’s Gods desire that no one should perish.
You can’t even get Christianity right.
What more must God do to open the eyes of his people to repent of their sins and accept Him as Lord and Savior?
God does not cause bad things to happen, that is from Satan but God does allow it to happen. We have wildfires, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and diseases around the globe. Nothing changes, the people keep committing their sins. But now we have the coronavirus, a world wide pandemic brought on by China, a demonic country, that is killing thousands of people, and has shut down literally everything in our lives.
We must break the bondages of sin of immorality, homosexuality, and abortion! God is calling the unbelievers to repent of their sins and turn to Him for only thru the Blood of Jesus Christ can the sinner be free!
America not only needs to turn to God, but also not rely on the demonic country of China for our medical needs or anything else. Our manufacturing plants must be brought back to America immediately to put more Americans back to work and to increase our economy. China is not our friend, they are the enemy and can cut us off from our most basic needs such as medicines.
Globalism is dead and nationalism reigns!
So remember bring God back to Schools and into to your lives!!!!!
Our children need to learn respect and so do voted in Politicians!
Amem God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
” When things seem hopeless in times like these, it’s crucial that we all lean on our faith, because it is God who will get us through this.”… God, and following his commandments to love, and help each other.
My faith is strong. I say, “OH MY GOD?!” every time a leftist like Mahr or Moore or AOC or a Hollyweed opens their mouth. Surely God got some people’s mouth and anus mixed up.
Black and possibly gay yet the hypocritical Left will disown and disparage him because he is a traitor. How dare he espouse Conservative principles. Daoes anyone really trust those lying communists?
Yep. Count on it. Damn sure he’s a decent individual.
Now here’s a man I really, really like and respect…
Many blessings on you General Adams..I agree that the worst of the cases will be this week is no coincidence:)
