Hundreds of worshippers attended services at a Louisiana church, flouting ban on large gatherings, angering neighbors and seemingly turning a deaf ear to their governor.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, explains the latest timeline and expectations around COVID-19 in the U.S. as well as Trump’s change of course.
Assistant ministers and worshippers who stood outside the front doors and in the parking lot of Life Tabernacle told news reporters to leave, saying cameras would not be allowed on the property and they had been told not to talk to the news media. They went inside without further comment. Briefly commenting Sunday in the church's parking lot, Timothy Spell, father of Pastor Tony Spell, said Life Tabernacle has a right to assembly, is not forcing anyone to attend services, is not breaking any laws and will continue to hold services at the church.
People who violate the ban are being selfish and “grossly irresponsible,” Gov. John Bel Edwards said Sunday afternoon in New Orleans. They"take the time and attention of first responders and make it much more likely that this disease will continue to spread,” he said.
