[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just bringing the topic back into the thread. Here are few examples how some religious communities are dealing
with the corona virus to protect themselves and others from spreading the virus. This is an example of understanding
that sometimes certain practices might spread/prevent  epidemics for one..

and one example when it was too late..

Perhaps in the spirit of prevention our local religious communities could look into some measures that could be implemented
for the time being to proactively limit possibility of infecting others. After considering how much touching hands and sharing
wine or wafers is happening in the church perhaps it could be a good measure since we live in the area where many
cultures cross paths and oz of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Whatever could be respectfully done without compromising the respect for the religious services, maybe it is time to look into
it to avoid situation like the one in Korea?

The Korean example was a cult where people are afraid to admit being sick. Not the same as your average American church.[/quote]

and where they sat closely together on the floor[/quote]
