I personally think this is asking for a spike in cases.  However, if people want to go let them go.  I wouldn't go anywhere near a house of worship right now.

    sorry T-Bone to slip into your line of work

 

The story goes......"

A pious man, the preacher goes to heaven. After a while he gets an interview with God, and he asks the Almighty, "Lord, I had unwavering faith in you. Why didn't you deliver me from that flood?"

God shakes his head. "What did you want from me? I sent you two boats and a helicopter."

If you can pack people in the big box stores, allow liquor stores to be open,  then leave the churches be.
