In New York, where the COVID curve has un-flatted in parts of the state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently instituted new rules that limited in-person worship services to as few as 10 people (or 25% of capacity, whichever is lower) in the worst-hit places. Those areas, which represent nine different zip codes, saw a COVID test positivity rate of 5%, compared to 1% in other parts of the state.
Since there are areas in New York and other place where certain religious groups live who do insist on worshiping in large numbers, maybe just maybe they should be able to do so, however if they do, how about building a barricade around them and leave them to their prayers.
Another power-mad Democrat governor. Better be on the lookout for militia.
(Please note- this was a sarcastic comment. I think he's being utterly reasonable myself. But then, I'm apparently a nanny-state Democrat who's too afraid of COVID to go around without a mask on in public. Biggest mask you've ever seen.)
Pandemics aren’t convenient for anyone, you need to do better than religion issues to get my sympathy.
Now if you couldn’t vote or get food or protest I might give a damn.
