General prep stuff is discussed regularly.

Schools will generally have a plan (online classes, for example).

Church? Unless you have six feet between pews, I would stay home. But that’s just me. God isn’t interested in making me sick...and he doesn’t want to meet me face to face this week. :-)

“General prep stuff is discussed regularly.”

Yes, but a concise list that can be easily replicated would help some, particularly the people that haven’t been taking this seriously. If some essentials are not easily found, perhaps discussion of alternatives would be useful. I have already prepped for my family to isolate for several months; this is not for my benefit.

“Schools will generally have a plan (online classes, for example).”

Yes, but some people may prefer to start homeschooling since that is what is likely to happen at least temporarily for some. In my state, all I have to do is notify the school district Superintendent and maintain core requirements. Some other places might be much more complicated.

“Church? Unless you have six feet between pews, I would stay home.”

Exactly. We’re working on a way to stream services so that my mostly old-people congregation is not at risk. I’m wondering if other people are already working on similar solutions and what obstacles they’ve encountered. You know very well that some people will insist that they are protected by their faith and we’ve seen how well that works for the rest of us.

If it gets into our nomad/hobo/vagabond/beggar/homeless community a roundup would be necessary.

Churches will have to adapt, might have to set up something like those old Drive Thru theaters. They might have to set up a stage outside the Church and broadcast the service through a small power FM signal that people can get from their car, and have all the cars park in the same direction toward the stage. Best for churches to set up a goto fund on line to take in tithes and offering instead of handling possible contaminated cash.
