It will be fine.
All over by then.
We will be busy with blaming Trump and economy and ignoring China.
Ramadan.

Any mention of the word Islam has a real weird effect on some of you guys.
I imagine we’ll find out in 10 days.
I know all the mosques near me are closed.
Have the mosques remained open or are they closed?
What is the percentage of Muslims in the USA? Are there more Muslims than Catholics in the USA?
Do those of the Jewish faith celebrate Easter?
they are supposed to remain closed
Seems to me that the decision to congregate should be with Pastors and his flock with consideration of local circumstances. I don’t believe any Pastor or person WANTS to spread disease, but a one size fits all ruling from the government isn’t right or necessary.
Some businesses are allowed to stay open because they are considered “essential.” Grocery stores for example, yet in my local stores, including Walmart, not only do I see way over 10 or sometimes over 50 people inside, many are not wearing masks or gloves. People still have to pass close by each other, sometimes move carts that someone has parked in the way, not to mention handling items on the shelves that others have handled. If we say that THIS is necessary, then why are hardware stores allowed open? Is that box of nails or bag of top soil really essential right now?
If we trust people to assess the risk to themselves and others to go to Menards for something that really isn’t essential, then why deny people the same latitude in judgement about church? Small congregations especially can sit distances apart and people can (or not apparently) wear masks equally at church as any other place that’s open, they don’t check their common sense at the door.
Out church has remained open for all services. Out Pastor is live streaming, but the doors are open for those who wish to go. MOST people are CHOOSING not to attend, as my wife has several health issues that put her in the high risk category, I have not gone either for the last 3 weeks. Watching a live stream is not the same as I’m sure everyone else who regularly attends their own services would agree.
This is an unnecessary over reach by government. IMO.

Let’s see what happens in 10 days.
By then the crisis will be so far behind that ramadan will be good to go.

My dear brother, how much do you know about the monotheist traditions of Judaism , Christianity, and Islam? How much do you know about Polytheistic traditions of Buddhism, Hinduism? How much do you know? Maybe then there can be some discussion?
