Jehovah's Witnesses with covid-19 - announcement at Bethel

[Anna]

"Morning worship announcement at Bethel.
In the United States, 9,000 of our brothers have contracted the Corona Virus, 2,500 have recovered, 563 are hospitalized and unfortunately 219 have fallen asleep to death.
This was mentioned April 14, 2020 in the morning worship in New York's bethel.  It was asked that this be shared with the brothers so that we continue to pray for the entire association of brothers and understand the reason that the governing body has taken the measures that have been taken so far.  Cheers!"

By the way I am just quoting someone. This info is not from me personally.

They will remain in our thoughts and prayers. So sad.

I am not 100% sure but I am assuming it would have been the HQ at Warwick. I received this info in another language, from the CO in that country. I cannot verify the accuracy of it, but from experience these things are usually correct.....

I also got it a few days ago but no one seems to be able to verify it.  So although it is information we would wish to share, I did not share it.

I wonder if all the Brothers and Sisters at Bethel, NY, are locked down, and have to stay in their dorms ... not  even going to the cafeteria to eat, etc.

I think I heard that they were instructed to stay in their rooms a few weeks ago.

Update on that: this morning (during zoom meeting for FS) our group overseer gave us new numbers from our CO. This is from April 17th, so just two days after the report I posted earlier. Over 1000 are infected and 250 dead in the USA. Of course these numbers are not going to stay constant unfortunately, so today the numbers may already be higher. 

This is not special or privileged information by the way. Circuit Overseers have obviously been asked to share this.

scusa Anna, ma se non sei sicura perchè la pubblichi?...non sarebbe meglio aspettare che la sede centrale lo scriva sul sito ufficiale?...saluti a te

Questo non può essere pubblicato sul sito Web perché i numeri cambiano ogni giorno. Saluti!

Yikes .... restricted to a dorm room for several weeks!

Perhaps for "the duration".

... and no .. I am not going to mention pillows.

... probably not nearly as much as the Bethel videos that inspired the recollection.
