DeSantis, governor of Florida bans bars, and nightclubs for 30 days. But he doesn't ban religious organizations from having the church meetings (yet). Will he be fair or does he think COVID19 is some kind of sin disease? Well, maybe it's a case of cutting off the nose. It follows that religious orders would bear the brunt of the virus if they are allowed to meet in their vast numbers.

Mostly, people are running around in blind panic over a handful of cases. It's probably not going to change until enough people have had it and recovered from it.

People are spooked enough to be drinking at home, maybe they're spooked enough to pray tha hangovers away at home.
This stinker isn't just killing people my age, young people are getting stuck in the ICU, too, I imagine the ones brave enough to pub crawl are under about 23 or so. Tip jars will be light.
They're seeing a steady 5-7 cases a day here, which doesn't sound like much, but this is a low population state.
I have a real advantage in this, I'm a total introvert and I don't give a rip if I ever go out as long as the power stays on and I've got something to eat. This is going to be pure hell on extroverts, churchgoers foremost among them.
