A priest in Washington, DC, who said people 'are cowering in fear' of the coronavirus has been diagnosed with COVID-19, prompting local health officials to instruct some parishioners to quarantine.
"When you're a priest, you literally and figuratively touch hundreds of lives and I could see all the dominoes falling," he said."And everybody in the rectory would have to quarantine. I could see huge numbers."
He also criticized protocols that have been imposed across the U.S. to slow the spread of the coronavirus. "The medical concerns arising from the pandemic are not without merit, but they are not unprecedented," he wrote."What is unique today is the collective paralysis brought on by this fear."
