The cessation of Mass is “so unique and serious” that it could be a “divine rebuke” for fifty years of Eucharistic desecration and trivialisation, Bishop Athanasius Schneider told RemnantNewspaper.com (March 27).
Schneider opposes the closures of churches as long as supermarkets remain open and public transportation works.
He urges priests to disobey their bishops if prohibited to anoint the sick, “Christ didn't give a bishop the power to forbid visiting the sick and dying.”
Schneider observes a “quasi-pathological fear” that has overcome “common reason" and a "supernatural vision.”
According to him, the coronavirus is a “divine intervention to chastise and purify the sinful world and also the Church.”
He doesn't have “absolute certainty” that the coronavirus is a divine retribution for the Vatican Pachamama events last October, but calls such a possibility “not far-fetched.”

Quote from Schneider, The current situation of this “fiery ordeal” (see 1 Peter 4:12) must be taken seriously by the Pope and bishops in order to lead to a deep conversion of the entire Church. If this does not occur, then the message of the following story of Soren Kierkegaard will be applicable to our current situation as well: “A fire broke out backstage in a theatre.

If this does not occur, then the message of the following story of Soren Kierkegaard will be applicable to our current situation as well: “A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.”

The man seems to be getting ahead of himself. As @mattsixteen24 has mentioned numerous times already, this "firey ordeal" is eclipsed every year by deaths from influenza. And nobody flips out over that ordeal.
