THOUSAND OAKS—Godspeak Pastor Rob McCoy announced a coronavirus statewide prayer and fasting call starting at sundown Wednesday (April 1st) and continuing through sundown Friday (April 3rd) in an effort that is “catching ground” across the nation.
“How critical is the church? Are we unnecessary?” said Pastor Rob McCoy. “Do we contend for the culture? Do we remain silent? Is that our role?
In a separate announcement, Dr. Robin Evans, during Monday’s “Fireside Chat” announced an opportunity shared by Governor Galvin Newsom for medical professionals to volunteer in a new initiative called the California Health Corps.
“California is preparing for an increase in the number of people who urgently need health care in our communities during the COVID-19 outbreak. To meet this moment, we’re opening additional health care sites to treat people affected by COVID-19 and to relieve the pressure on our health care system by providing care for non-COVID-19 cases.
According to Dr. Evans, the new initiative is being sponsored by Mark Zuckerberg, Chief Executive Officer of Facebook, who has given $25 million for the effort which can be found at: Covid-19.ca.gov or by looking up California Health Corps.
(Editor’s Note: Pastor Rob McCoy can be heard every day through his 7 p.m. “Fireside Chat.” Go to Godspeak Calvary to link.)

Love reading your post. Confirms methods I’ve heard of too. Gods Speed. Fasting and prayer
Here is what we are doing in our home…
Doctors are reporting they now understand the behavior of the COVID 19 virus due to autopsies that they have carried out. This virus is characterized by obstructing respiratory pathways with thick mucus that solidifies and blocks the airways and lungs. So they have discovered that in order to apply a medicine you have to open and unblock these airways so that the treatment can be used to take effect however all of this takes a number of days. Their recommendations for what you can do to safeguard yourself are …
1) Drink lots of hot liquids – coffees, soups, teas, warm water. In addition take a sip of warm water every 20 minutes bc this keeps your mouth moist and washes any of the virus that’s entered your mouth into your stomach where your gastric juices will neutralize it before it can get to the lungs.
2) Gargle with an antiseptic and warm water like vinegar or salt or lemon every day if possible
3) The virus attaches itself to hair and clothes. And detergent or soap kills it but you must take bath or shower when you get in from the street. Avoid sitting down in your home and go straight to the shower. If you cannot wash your clothes daily, hang them in sunlight which also helps to neutralize the virus
4) Wash metallic surfaces very carefully bc the virus can stay viable on these for up to 9 days. Take note and be vigilant about touching hand rails, door knobs, etc. and keep these clean in home home
5) Don’t smoke
6) Wash your hands every 20 minutes with any soap that foams and do this for 20 seconds
7) Eat fruits and vegetables. Try to elevate your zinc levelS
8)Animals do not spread the virus to people. Its a person to person transmission.
9)Try to avoid getting the common flu as this already weakens your system and try to avoid eating and drinking any cold things.
10) If you feel any discomfort in your throat or a sore throat coming on, attack it immediately using the above methods. The virus enters the system through the throat but will sit in the throat for 3-4 days before it passes into your lungs.
Which doctors? Who said this? This is false and not true and could cause harm constantly drinking hot liquids. Don’t believe everything you read on social media. Go to the CDC or DHEC website to get real information. You should always research information first before jumping to conclusions.
Excuse me, Mike… I am a Christian and I understand the fasting ritual, but won’t fasting by the most vulnerable among us…make them more vulnerable? Have we really thought this through properly?
