Two different groups of people defied the city/county health and met last week to have a pachanga and spread the virus. 12 diagnosed. What the mayor didn't mention is now every single person they came close to, things they touched and public spaces are compromised and those people, friends and family near them need quarantined and people near those people need to self quarantine. A family friend had too because her coworker insisted on visiting a family member who had the virus (I don't know if one of the party goers the mayor mentioned).
Your 1st Ammendment rights are not violated because masses and services are online and ABC 6 is even broadcasting Diocesan Catholic service at all its parishes. Your church is hurting financially, "I guarantee it", so give them a tithing and stay home and skip the backyard festivities this year. This will blow over because research is going really well but scientists need to finish tests and it will take months, not weeks.
If you ignore this the virus will linger, spread more and if no improvement by fall we're f'ed going into the cold season.
