Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves has claimed that people living in the state are 'less scared' of COVID-19 because they believe in 'eternal life' - despite a surge in new infections and hospitalizations.
Reeves delivered his remarks to a group of Republicans at a fundraiser event in Eads, Tennessee, last Thursday, according to the Daily Memphian.
'I'm often asked by some of my friends on the other side of the aisle about COVID … and why does it seem like folks in Mississippi and maybe in the Mid-South are a little less scared, shall we say,' Reeves said.
'When you believe in eternal life — when you believe that living on this earth is but a blip on the screen, then you don't have to be so scared of things,' he said.
Reeves added, 'God also tells us to take necessary precautions. And we all have opportunities and abilities to do that and we should all do that. I encourage everyone to do so.'
