The opening of a JT story from yesterday.
There was also a recent HuffingtonPost article about 3 Covid19 deaths as a result of a single church service.
And I remember an article about most of a church choir ending up with Covid19 that traced back to one member who was presymtomatic at the time he attended practice.
But the most important thing to note is the comment of one of the attendees at a church that refused to suspend services because of Covid19, even when ordered to. She said that 'the blood of Christ' would protect everyone in attendance.

Nutshell. The virus has shown it's not 'just another cold/flu/hepatitis'. Many odd health effects are associated with it. It's also shown it's not a Bubonic Plague. But caution should still be taken.

Baptist church opened after ease of lockdown in Germany resulting in over 100 new cases.
Expect the virus to flourish in the USA. Sad news,
