The World Health Organization announced that Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) officially a pandemic after its detection in Wuhan, China. From a religious point of view, most churches announced a suspension of all liturgical activities. Church practices have been altered in an effort to contain the virus. In this article we will enumerate the lessons applied from Christianity to behave in such pandemics. Introduction On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that the COVID-19 officially a pandemic after barreling through 114 countries in three months and infecting over three million people [1]. It's comprehensible that people tend to use religion to deal with a crisis or explain the tragedy by reference to an Act of God and seeking a church to receive spiritual support and healing during such traumatic events. Nonetheless, all over the world, liturgical services are being suspended [2]. Several million worshipers have been deprived of the existential comfort of attending religious rituals in a moment of critical vagueness and confusion.

The article analyzes the scientific foundations set out in the book by V.E. Pashkovsky 10 lectures on autism. It is noted that the author expresses his own point of view on autism and does not agree with the position of the World Health Organization and the world psychiatric community on the diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies for autism spectrum disorders. If on the issue of the peculiarities of diagnostics, the authors arguments can be recognized as admissible, since the diagnosis in modern psychiatry reflects the consensus of specialists, then some provisions of V.E. Pashkovsky on the topic of the validity of the use of antipsychotics (neuroleptics) for the treatment of patients with autism should be considered as undocumented and misleading specialists.
