2) There are 3 positive cases reported so far at GCC. If another 256 people tested positive, that would bring GCC up to the average for LA County, per their own numbers:

3) Information that's not included in the article but might be useful in follow-up reporting:
--approximate ages of the infected
--confirmation if they'd actually been in church over the last 14 days
--whether or not they were in contact with C19+ people OUTSIDE OF the church.
4) It could well end up that the virus was transmitted during the church service, and if so, there will be more positive cases. But if we're talking about a single day, there's no way that the entire church was infected in one go. Even the CDC wouldn't claim something like that.
5) So, for those who are wanting to spike the football here, I'd say hold off until the data proves that these folks got sick because of GCC's policy position.

And those wanting to dismiss this as fake news should wait, too, because it could take a turn for the worse.
