In this week's episode Josh and Will finish up the second of a two part look at the Coronavirus and how it is impacting both the church and average citizens. Will discusses the Reopen Rallies around the country, and how the desire for expected outcomes (confirmation biases) are fueling conspiracy theories. They have a quick moment of reflection about murder hornets and how it's such a 2020 thing to do. Then finally they end with some coping mechanisms for both secular and non-secular types.
