Below is a chart I made up from Wikipedia of a portion of the plagues, pandemics and epidemics that have hit since the third century. About half lasted a year.

A few days ago I sent out a list of when quarantine started and which were used in which outbreaks. So, we see quarantining has always been a practice.
You will notice above that about half of the epidemics/pandemics lasted a year. Of the many I went through on Wikipedia, over all half lasted one year.
Does this mean perhaps some organizations and churches might think about year-long alternative arrangements to meeting inside their building. Drive-in theater method? Pews with spacers? Zoom? What? Does anything substitute for seeing each other in person, even at a distance?

The difference is you quarantine the sick not the healthy. You can’t keep people from working and supporting their families.

Okay. Now we need suggestions for the church reassembling. Some will think it’s okay to mingle and touch again. Some will feel uncomfortable doing it. Two services?

The church board you posted here says it all, the Church is not a building, it’s the people who are the Church.
