1. "This is a difficult time for my family, but we know that God is with us always," Rapert said.

I think the line that "God is with us always" is hilarious when someone is lying in the hospital maybe dying with Covid and claiming they're being protected by God. Perhaps she momentarily stepped out of the room and that let Covid in?
