A lot of new information is coming out now that they have been able to study how this virus spreads. The virus trackers have taken actual cases and followed them through to see exactly who ended up getting sick whether it was in a restaurant, choir practice, or a call center. We always thought the grocery stores would be a problem, but it's actually the churches.

Folks are usually in and out of the grocery pretty quickly, with little interaction, and grocery stores are fairly open spaces.

A church, singing spreads more virus, more time is spent there, the place is enclosed, more socializing.

So it's distance, time spent there, interaction with others, and airflow with being outside the best. Call centers are also in the high spread category because people are close together talking on phones all day.

Was in my local grocery store today..noticed a LOT of the employees have replaced their masks with face shields. I asked the cashier was it mandatory. She said nope we had an option and the shield is so much more comfortable than the mask. She said she takes it home and disinfects it every night. My daughter (nurse) said yes, the shields are very effective. But a lot of folks think they look stupid 🤷🏻‍♀️

@SeaMaiden -

I think that is probably true.

@bmorechick -

I don't know that the shields look stupid but I don't care. Based on a posters recommendation here, I did order 4 from Amazon-one for me and 2 for my daughters and one for my sil.

They won't wear them but I will!

I do think they cover more, including your eyes. I also think they are easier to breathe in. Maybe people will get used to them too.

My nurse daughter thinks they won't protect as well, only if you wear a mask with it.

i think they do cause they cover the eyes.

I read too that churches opening up are "petri dishes" for this virus!

There's a gym a few miles from me, on their facebook page they tout health and wellness, internal as well as external. But they refuse to stay closed, They said they'll go above & beyond with the guidelines, and people compromised should just stay home. Last I heard they had 4 citations. It's so hippocritical, what do they not get about the spread and their business being a petri dish?

I've heard for awhile- it's a 6 ft minimum. Chris Cuomo's wife was never within 6 ft of him when he was battling covid19- and she ended up testing positive.

@on the bay Virtual services are an easy solution- minus the communion wafers. Synogogues have been holding them since March!

@Ibby114 -Mine has had the virtual ones as well for several months and are palnning to continue for some time.

@on the bay Yes I saw them on amazon and im considering ordering them. I would wear them too. I get hot in the mask and need cool air! My nurse daughter said try wearing an n95 all day with eye goggles that dig into your face and then tell me how hot you are, lol. And yes she agreed they are much more effective with a mask, but for general folks, the shield does cover a good portion of the face. Continue to stay safe...

I guess liquor stores/pot shops and PP are not, but churches are? Hmmm.

@SeaMaiden

I have seen/heard anywhere from 6' to 30', wonder if they measure this in an airless booth or in the Nascar Wind Tunnel? Who knows they may come up half a mile apart soon. Of course that depends on the heat and especially the humidity. Like to see the Protocol they use for measuring these things, or wonder if they even have one!

The Archbishop of my Catholic diocese is opening our churches in early June, in a very careful way. The public may attend a mass on week days only, limited to 50 people per church. Social distancing and masks are required. There will

be no literature in church pews, and communion will be in host form only. He has also encouraged the elderly, and anyone with underlying health concerns, to stay home.

With all the virus victims in our state, I anticipate people to agree to this thoughtful start of attending services again. Of course, we have always had access to televised masses, and I personally can find God anywhere I am.

@hckynut -

Yep, they all are! -stores and all..hmmm-

Actually all sarcasm aside, it makes sense for anyone with common sense!

If people are crowded into a large space, singing, breathing, talking, no masks, still perhaps shaking hands, whether a protest, a restaurant, a bar, a church, a picnic, a parade, a sports arena,

The virus doesn't care what place it is. I think we all know this.

And of course there are safer as well as irresponsible ways to open up a church or anything else, or continue virtual services which my church and many others are doing or very safely like @PamfromCT stated.

Still I am happy right now with any virtual, pick up groc etc.

But for those that would like to turn this into some kind of conspiracy thread against churches or something, that is off base.

Isn't it?!

To simplify, I can't EVER recall being enjoined to sing extended pieces of music in a large group when buying a bottle of wine or having my cat's claws clipped.

I realize that it is difficult to embrace this concept, but these are difficult times.

I think I would prefer to wear a shield rather than a mask. Has to be easier to breathe.

As far as churches it will be quite awhile before I attend a Sunday mass. Fortunately, we have daily masses that are a lot emptier and no problems keeping "social distancing."

I am sure you rely on experts all the time. And like this new pandemic virus we are lucky that they have our best interest. Some recommendations never change, but others do because we are learning a lot more about this virus.

It will be the "experts'' who will develop the vaccine.

it has nothing to do with what the business is and everything to do with how much time you stay there and how many people you interact with. I don't go to the liquor store to socialize, I don't spend an hour there singing, I'm not sitting right next to people for long periods of time in a liquor store.
