The thing about social distancing "hawks" vs "doves" is the hawks are just being *consistent* The virus is a physical thing, it follows physical rules, if you're within six feet of another person you're at risk of inhaling microscopic particles of spit they exhale, that's it

The virus doesn't actually care about this either, which is why we have a steady march of people CONTINUING TO GET INFECTED AND GET SICK at supermarkets, at warehouses and processing facilities, and at hospitals

I don't even understand why they consider church so important. didn't Jesus supposedly have very specific things to say about people who insist on only praying where other people can see them?

I heard a piece about a church that met at an old drive-in movie theater-folks sat in their cars, pastor spoke thru a speaker set up & everyone honked their horns at the end to greet each other! Even religious fellowship can be done safely for crying out loud.
