What will they think of next! I guess if we are "buying," they will "sell." It is totally unclear to me as to how this is going to "help" anyone - it is the age old problem of us feeling the need to "know," like Eve in the garden of Eden. Many will buy into this thinking that knowing where the virus is will save them - but it will not. Only the Lord saves. We can not save ourselves.
