Dad not listening about this virus, depressed me for a bit

I called my dad in southern cali. He is in mid 70's and so is my step ma. I told him about the seriousness about this virus, and suggested he pick up extra supplies/food before he loses the chance as this thing is going fast.

He told me, "Oh well, god will take care of us."

(It is nice he believes in the lord, but it is not good to be lazy or ignorant of the circumstances
His one-size-fits-all answer did irritate me)

I then asked, "Is your faith that strong?"

He answered a firm yes.

I then asked, "Then why did you get a flu shot late last year?"

He was silent for a long time and I broke the silence by asking him to please be safe, as if god doesnt think it is (dads) time to go, then he's gonna appreciate having things to hold through the coming tough times.





This depressed me a few moments, but I realized it is his choice as I have my choices, too.

I would just like to have him in my life a lot longer.
