An Idaho pastor who held services at his 1,200-member church, telling the congregation they did not have to wear masks, is now in ICU battling COVID 19. Paul Van Noy was hospitalized after opening Candlelight Christian Fellowship in Coeur d'Alene for in person services in May. I have Covid and some of my friends have Covid now but more seriously my husband is in critical care in ICU with Covid and it is serious. Van Noy said Monday: 'Having been in the ICU now for 11 days…and counting, I am really starting to turn the corner—for the better.' At a vigil for Van Noy outside the hospital last week many of those in attendance did not wear masks.
