this little "practice" as you call it is the foundation of all that Catholics believe and its not some quaint little thing that means nothing....
this could have happened just as easily in a diner, or at a store, etc....
lucky for you that you may continue to hide under your bed.

I really get it. This particular form of communion is REALLY important to Roman Catholics. I’ve had to give up important things for this pandemic to save people I love and care about. Catholics and the Catholic Church could be responsible return the favor to the rest of us until this is over.
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.
That said, readers should know that priests are required to wash their hands thoroughly before vesting for Mass. The risk of disease transmission through reception of Holy Communion in the form of bread is considered to be extremely low.
