                  BE HUMBLE, NOT ARROGANT ABOUT COVID

  (Mr. LIEU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)

  Mr. LIEU. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the people on this floor 
and the people watching on television a very simple question. Do you 
know if I am carrying the COVID virus?
  In fact, do you know if the next person you meet is going to be 
carrying the COVID virus?
  And the answer is, you don't know, because we cannot see this virus 
with our naked eyes. And you don't know how this virus is going to 
interact with your body if it comes in contact with you. Don't act like 
you do know.
  Over 680,000 Americans have died. Millions more have been 
hospitalized, and many more are still suffering the effects of long 
COVID.
  In Matthew 4:7, Jesus said: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.
  God created the laws of chemistry and biology. God is not going to 
make an exception just for you for this biological virus.
  So please be humble, not arrogant, and talk to your doctor about the 
best way to protect yourself against this virus.
