Yesterday, a coroner's report indicated that a member of Spell's fundamentalist virus petri dish died from COVID-19. Asked by reporters about the death, Spell maintained that the man had died of other causes, something the medical examiner would disagree with. He also described the deceased as a "right-hand man" of his (and hopefully Spell shook that right hand frequently).
If you're not feeling disgust with Bible-thumping charlatans like Spell already, here's something else: this sick huckster wants people receiving their COVID-19 relief checks to donate them to him and like-minded fundamentalist hucksters. Because in their entirely worldly realm, it's about keeping the con alive, accumulating wealth, and letting the sheep they're fleecing fend -- and die -- for themselves.
UPDATE: Now the charlatan is asking his congregants to send him their stimulus checks!! Something something money changers in the temple something something.

I'm guessing there will be more deaths and infections reported soon. This case proves there was at least one infected person at one of Spell's get-togethers -- and if so, it probably spread to others during whatever event it was.

As the women say in the south, bless his heart.
