“If your mom told you not to jump off of a bridge would you jump off of it anyway just because you have rights?”

There’s almost never a need for Catholics to receive in both forms. This practice was abandoned in the first millennium, for good reasons. Its resumption was never supposed to become the normative practice at parish masses.

One the one hand, nothing wrong with getting together, meeting together, speaking and listening together, but too much human-to-human contact has to have circumstances that do not contain risks with it, at least when you know risks are there.
On the other hand, we never felt that way during any flu season, the worst of which was not much different than the Wuhan Virus illnesses in scope and deaths.
And why not, or why now?
Now, after this report, when will the media follow up and report on the medical outcomes of the persons mentioned as infected. How many stayed asymptomatic? How many fell ill? How many had to go to hospital? How many died? THOSE are the important questions, not the infections, because we know, by the numbers, most people who get infected do not die.

So, I say go for it. Open everything up and help spread herd immunity, which is all a vaccine does, anyway.

I could go ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ON and ... but you get my point.
Solution: be like the Swiss: BUY SWISS, even if it costs more.
