Pastor Glenn died of infection due to social distance:
The Virginia clergy who ignored social distance to prevent many people from joining the shrine due to a Coronavirus infection in the US did not know they would die from Kovid-19. 66-year-old Pastor Gerald O. Glenn has not lived in this world due to this epidemic. He is also paid tribute to Pope Francis. In fact, Virginia's Pastor Gerald Glenn has also been among the same religious preachers who took the Coronavirus very lightly and keeping religion paramount, believing that no disease can survive to a human being following religious rules. He had said that till I am not in jail or hospital, I will not let the resolve to continue teaching.
Many people are saddened by his death. Especially Bishop's wife, 65-year-old Mother Marisa Glenn, was also confirmed to be infected with the virus test. At that time her follower, Ms. Crowley, had said that my father is on a ventilator in the hospital, so I request people to take seriously the epidemic.

He is known as a great religious preacher in America and people listen to him with great attention. He had also dismissed the appeals issued to close the church worshipers. He was arrested last month along with hundreds of worshipers from a Pentecostal megachurch in Florida.
God is bigger than this virus, not a threat

On March 30, eight days after this sermon, he was ordered to live at a residence in Virginia. Subsequently, they were confirmed to have corona infection.

Patients can spread infection three days before the symptoms of corona appear: study
Coronavirus patients can infect many people just two or three days before symptoms of the disease show. It has been claimed in a study. According to a study published in the journal Nature Medicine, taking control measures after symptoms appear can prevent the disease from spreading to a large extent. However, there are several factors that can affect these measures. According to researchers at the University of Hong Kong, the study found that if the period between exposure to the infection and the symptoms is short, then the infection can spread even before the symptoms appear. Temporal patterns of viral shedding of 94 hospitalized patients in Guangzhou, China were assessed.
These patients showed signs of coronavirus two to three days after taking a throat swab. According to the study, 414 swabs were tested, which found that these patients had a higher infection load before the onset of symptoms.
