Why do so many people on FR forget the "self" part of "self-isolation?"

It's not like congregants at a religious service or kids on spring break go back home and forcibly invade the nursing home next door, is it?

Yeah and none have family. Or go back to school or to supermarkets.

You’re too smart to send such a weak answer.

I replied only because it’s you.

I think you are correct, no matter the vitriol against you.

1. We ought to be able to worship where we want, when we want (1st Amendment).
2. We ought to be able to travel freely, where we want, when we want (Articles of Confederation, and subsequent).
3. It’s the old liberty/safety argument (Ben Franklin) and it should be up to each free citizen to decide for himself/herself.

In my opinion, not only are there constitutional rights/ideas here, but the church is not just “any” place in the world. I believe they are special places that are made up of not brick-and-stone, but of spiritual beings who are trusting God.

Lastly, there’s a lot of screeching from people who will “endanger” themselves to go to the grocery store or the hardware store or whatever if they make that decision for themselves.

But hey, the church is an easy target.
