Florida at long last orders a shelter in place.

I worry that the delay will have jeopardized thousands of Floridians.  As of yesterday, they had over 6500 cases and 85 deaths, and the case numbers were growing at 15% a day.

Unfortunately (for controlling this virus), attending church is considered an essential activity.

France and South Korea already have had mass covid-19 spreading events associated with churches.  I assume it's just a matter of time before we get the same in the US (though our testing is so shitty that it may have already been going on without authorities being aware)

Edit: I think there were a bunch of cases in an orthodox Jewish community in NY. Not sure if those were related to a temple service specifically vs other types of social contact.

Edit x2: My county (Sacramento) says 1/3 of their confirmed cases are related to churches. One church that's had a bunch of cases is still having in person services.
