This week there are 2 Idiots of the
Week. The first Idiot has a rap sheet with the police that's apparently quite long, and now he's added "terrorist threat" to it. This Missouri man thought it 'funny' to lick products in a walmart, as a threat of spreading COVID19.
The second Idiot has a more tragic end. It's another person (who people respected) that decided to not heed social distancing CDC recommendations and held services in Texas. He passed away. His foolish decision should be a LESSON to people.
Here are the stories;
1) Man Filmed Licking Products At Walmart Charged With Making Terrorist Threat
"By Elyse Wanshel" Huffington Post March 26, 2020
A man in Missouri has been charged with making a terrorist threat in the second degree after filming what was, at best, a very bad joke about the coronavirus.
The Warren County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Cody Lee Pfister, 26, on Tuesday after he posted a video of himself licking merchandise inside a Walmart, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
In the video (above), which has gone viral online, Pfister looks at the camera and says, “Who’s afraid of coronavirus? Don’t touch your mouth,” before licking a row of deodorant sticks on the store’s shelf.Cody Lee Pfister at a Walmart on March 11, per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned that the coronavirus could stay on various surfaces for hours or days, meaning someone who comes in contact with something that an infected person has already touched could become infected.
Pfister — whom the Post-Dispatch reports has quite a rap sheet, including burglary and driving while intoxicated — “knowingly caused a false belief or fear that a condition involving danger to life existed,” court documents state, according to the Post-Dispatch. He also acted “with reckless disregard of the risk causing the evacuation, quarantine or closure of any portion” of Walmart.

2) Another COVID19 Denier Meets a Fatal End
- This time it was a priest, who reopened his church. The church closed after his death.
A Roman Catholic church in Texas has indefinitely suspended public Masses after the death of a priest and the COVID-19 diagnoses of five others.
The Rev. Donnell Kirchner, a 79-year-old priest from Houston’s Holy Ghost Church, died on May 13 after being diagnosed with pneumonia, the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston said.
Holy Ghost Church’s website says there is a possibility that the priest contracted the coronavirus before he died.
MORE PEOPLE INFECTED- On their website, it cites more people who were infected. "May 16, 2020 - Dear Holy Ghost Parishioners, Today we learned that three members of the Redemptorists community living and working at Holy Ghost Parish have tested positive for COVID-19. While the individuals themselves are asymptomatic, they, and the other members of the community, are in quarantine in the residence isolated from the others. All members of the household have been tested and are awaiting results."
