On Sunday, Pastor Tony Spell said his Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge bussed people from five parishes in for the service, assembling the 1,000-person gathering despite orders to not hold gatherings of more than 50 people.

He says he plans to hold another one on Tuesday.

As of right now Louisiana is third behind New York and Washington State in total COVID-19 deaths with 83, and seems likely to move up the the total case rankings if they have enough testing capacity. What a terrible confluence of unnecessary peril and willful ignorance.
