    What about bar owners, strip clubs owners, etc?  Maybe they should be held accountable.

    "Covid" is fake.  We don't wear masks or "social distance".  If you are terrified, you can hide in your house with a mask.

    No. They can hold the service, but the people do not have to go.

    No.  No one is forced to go to church.  If they go, they know the risks.  And parents are responsible for their minor children.

    Since so many churches are now live-streaming their services and have offered special dispensations for folks who can't come out due to COVID-19, I would say that any idiot preachers who insist on live services should be taken to sea and keelhauled.

    Normally, or course not.  If they follow normal health precautions, they can't be blamed for ordinary transmission of illness.  

    Now, during the pandemic, of course, bars and restaurants and mostly peaceful protests are permitted to do their thing while churches are restricted.  If churches are restricted, other gathering places should be kept to the same standards.  If 500 protesters can crowd the streets without social distancing, then why not church members in a building rated for 1000?

    Attendees do have the option to stay home, but I do think religious services should be held remotely and that religious leaders should absolutely encourage and facilitate that.
