However the Supreme Court has made it clear that ANY state interference with religious activity of any kind is subject to strict scrutiny. The state must show much more than just a rational basis.Their reasons must be compelling AND they must show that there are no alternatives. Most , maybe not all , but most state regulation of church services fails the test.

Oh wait, that's because these conspiracy theories have been largely debunked.

It also came out that the fired purported "data scientist" was a data input analyst with degrees in Journalism and Communications and had some mental issues that previously put her in criminal proceedings.
Eagle, you really need to find better sources than Kronos and Puffpost, lol. <3.3 GPA journalism majors from C schools are not usually reliable sources of data analysis. Just sayin'. ;)

When American Indians were arrested for smoking an illegal substance during a religious ceremony, the Supreme Court upheld the arrest. If states can legally ban certain substances from being smoked in religious ceremonies, they can certainly prohibit religious services when there is likelihood that a deadly virus will be transmitted at those services. As I said before, over 30 pastors in the Bible belt, who held in-person services, have died from the virus. Why would you want more of this?

COVID-19 is far more contagious than cholera. Cholera is transmitted through human waste. COVID-19 is transmitted through breathing or talking. There are no treatments that are 100% effective. If there were, there wouldn't be thousands of people dying every day.
Controlled tests have shown hydroxychloroquine is not only not effective, but can be deadly. What is your evidence that these studies are flawed?

Then why are so many people wearing gloves ? Especially every health professional ?
Please re-read what I posted. Then look up the literature. When hydroxychloroquine is given to patients with mild to moderate symptoms it works. As much as 90% of the time. With zero to no side effects. If you LISTEN to doctors who actually treat covid patients they will tell you much better than I. They ALL prescribe it. The studies saying different like the V.A. study were skewed to have a much older than average patient group. And it included a LOT of patients with PRE-EXISTING cardiac and/or pulmonary issues not to mention circulatory and immune issues. In short the patients studied were VERY unhealthy to begin with.
There is a laundry list of drugs in common usage that were never subjected to double blind testing that are used safely and effectively today such as penicillin, sulfa drugs and the polio vaccines.
If you observe sensible spacing it is very, very hard to be infected with anything ( including covid ) outdoors. Italy got infected by an influx of covid positive people from CHINA !
I am not afraid of Covid. Neither is Bill Maher or Michael Moore.
One of the problems with assessing where we are and then deciding where and how we ought to go ( and WHEN ) is the stats have been put into a figurative blender and then poured out. We have stats for positive viral tests ; for anti-body tests BUT at least 65% of those people are NOT sick. They have no symptoms.And NEVER did.
Having a positive test AND actually being treated for Covid are two different things. So is testing positive and being told to self-quarantine for ( now ) 10 days. It was 14 days but now the consensus is 10 days WITHOUT symptoms. The death numbers ; the ICU numbers ;the hospital admission numbers ( except for Alabama ) have all been going DOWN. The shutdown was sold by the CDC ; by Trump ; by our governors as a necessary evil to keep our hospitals from being overrun and overwhelmed with Covid patients. Except for Montgomery, Alabama that is not happening anywhere in the U.S. NYC came close but the situation now is like day and night. The Javits Center is closed and the Comfort has sailed away. Testing is way up. Especially antibody testing. All that tells you is whether or not someone was exposed to Covid. In dense urban areas like NYC it is possible that half of the total population was exposed. Afaic that is meaningless. What matters is whether or not you have active virus ; whether or not you are infectious.
If you control for old age, pre-existing conditions and immune suppression the death rate from Covid is LOWER than that of the flu . California and Florida were very pro-active in protecting the elderly and locking down nursing homes and adult care facilities. Cali also used a very strict and comprehensive lockdown , Florida did not. Their covid numbers are comparable. Whether you look at overall death rate ; hospital admissions ; ICU stays ; any metric you like; their experiences have been comparable.
People from the Bronx can travel. They can also go Upstate and out to Long Island ; both of which are opening up so your point is what ? We should quarantine the entire Bronx ? For how long ? Will that include the Yankees ?

Re: As states reopen, here’s how you protect yourself from the coming surge
One farm in Tennessee distributed Covid-19 tests to all of its workers after an employee came down with the virus. It turned out that every single one of its roughly 200 employees had been infected.

Sadly, you are right that the Supreme Court upheld state and Federal drug laws interfering with Native American use of peyote in their religious ceremonies. Ignoring how during Prohibition sacramental wine was permitted. So what ?
I am NOT advocating for carte blanche. I AM saying that religious ceremonies can occur with REASONABLE limitations and protective measures.

I don't have a problem with people staying in their cars. Approximately 90% of churches have stopped having in-person services. If they're able to do without it, I don't see why the rest aren't. I know people whose churches have online services and I know people who had their Passover Seder online. It's 2020. There are many alternatives to doing things in person.

Re: As states reopen, here’s how you protect yourself from the coming surge
Please READ your own link. They were infected i.e. EXPOSED to the virus. As in every other meat plant where at least one worker came down with SYMPTOMS. No surprise given the working conditions , lousy sanitation and lack of protective equipment. It does NOT say that they are all sick or that they all came down with symptoms. In fact it says nothing of the sort. It does NOT say how many have active virus i.e. are INFECTIOUS i.e. can expose someone else and make them sick.
I am not trying to minimize this and other legitimate concerns. Afaic the whole plant should be shut down , deep cleaned and sanitized. All the workers ought to self-quarantine for at least 10 days BUT assuming that they live like many illegals and/or low income workers that will be difficult to impossible.
Even if I had my druthers and most of the country reopened tomorrow with sensible measures taken and within sensible limitations there will be further outbreaks and hot spots. Which we have dealt with and can continue to do so. I am arguing for balance between self-protection and vital economic activity necessary to begin to repair the severe economic damage this country has suffered. One quarter of our workers are unemployed. That is unsustainable.

I am very sorry but WHO ARE YOU to dictate how people get to worship ? More to the point , where do Governors get authority to make those decisions ? The language of the First Amendment is very clear. There is no exception for war , fire, flood or pandemic.
While you might be somewhat tolerant too many governors think they do have the right to stop ALL religious services and activity. Including drive in and/or drive by worship.

Re: As states reopen, here’s how you protect yourself from the coming surge
"Infected" means they have the virus and can infect others.

(of a person, organism, etc.) affected with a disease-causing organism.
All 200 workers were tested and all 200 were infected. Not everyone who's been infected has symptoms, which is why so many precautions are necessary. There's no way to know who has the virus.
-
Re: As states reopen, here’s how you protect yourself from the coming surge
Your link does NOT say that. But let's assume that it does. If true , they should all be quarantined. However given how the terminology has been mixed and matched so far , I have my doubts that all 200 are infectious. Possible but more likely they were all exposed. Infected and infectious are two different things. Your link does NOT say if they received anti-body testing or active viral testing.

There are limits to how far freedom of religion goes. For example, human sacrifice is against the law. It is not protected by the First Amendment. Holding services in a crowded church during a deadly pandemic isn't much different than human sacrifice. Again, over 30 pastors have died, and probably countless parishoners. Just one single choir practice in Washington with 60 people, led to 53 hospitalizations and 2 deaths from COVID-19.
One reason why church services could be especially deadly is because a disproportionate number of church attendees are elderly.
Nobody is trying to stop all religious services and activity, only what is not safe.

No it isn't. A higher percentage of flu deaths occur among the elderly than with COVID-19.

Re: As states reopen, here’s how you protect yourself from the coming surge
RN notes on exposed vs infected:
You can be "exposed" with OR without becoming "infected".
You can be INFECTED without showing SYMPTOMS.
Another way of saying this is, infected does not necessarily mean they are showing symptoms, but they ARE CONTAGEOUS.
So if 200 were infected, that means they were both exposed (meaning the point at which the virus makes contact with the person's outer boundaries, in this case mucous membranes) AND then that it got deeper into their body and started producing more virus, which is contagious WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOW SYMPTOMS.
There's a lot of confusion about the virus, but one thing that is well known at this point for certain is that you can have the virus present and replicating in your body while feeling totally fine AND being able to spread it to others at the same time.

Then explain how and why 80% of Covid deaths are among the ELDERLY !
Then explain Florida ( more elderly than N.Y. and N.J. and less than 2300 deaths ) Georgia ( no jump in deaths or new cases ) and Tennessee . All have similar numbers to California which did a MUCH stricter and more comprehensive lockdown than they did.
Asian countries like Japan ( with a heavy elderly population ) have death rates of less than 1 per 100,000.
In Europe Germany( 10.1 ) has a lower death rate than the U.S. ( 29.8 ) . Most other European countries have much higher rates than we do : Belgium -83.7 ; Spain -58 ; Britain 55.8 ; Italy 54.5 and France 42.6. All according to the Washington Post citing Johns Hopkins University. All have lots of elderly people.
Btw, is anyone else appalled by the reactions of "blue state" mayors and governors who were heavy handed with any business that tried to reopen early but are now permitting mass demonstrations without masks and social distancing ?

There are people questioning how accurate FL and GA's figures are. Even so, both have higher death rates than CA, especially GA. GA's death rate is close to twice as high CA. Even though GA and FL re-opened, there are many businesses that remain closed and many people are continuing to shelter at home.
Britain delayed shutting down longer than any other major European country, and now has more deaths than any other European country. Greece was the first or one of the first European countries to shut down. So far, Greece has had 179 deaths. Britain has had close to 40,000.

I'm not sure what their official policies are, but there's not much they can do if tens of thousands of people are protesting. I didn't see anything being done when a smaller number of people were protesting against lockdowns either.

Re: As states reopen, here’s how you protect yourself from the coming surge
There you go again ? There is the percentage of flu and Covid deaths i.e. what percentage of dead people were elderly. Then there is the death rate per 100,000 people. By either measure the overwhelming number of dead , regardless of where they live , are ELDERLY.
Those states like California and Florida that locked down their nursing homes have much lower total deaths and much lower death rates than states like N.Y. , N.J. , Illinois and Pa. 80% of ALL Covid deaths in Minnesota and W.Va. were IN nursing homes. N.Y. says that 5,000 to 6,000 people died in nursing homes BUT they do not count nursing home patients and staff who died from Covid in hospitals. If they do then the total deaths of nursing home RESIDENTS would be 11,000 to 12,000 plus nursing home staff people who got infected in the nursing homes and then died in a hospital.

You don't know ? ROTFLMAO ! Are you serious ?
Name one , just one mayor or governor who has even tried to enforce social distancing and break up groups larger than 10 or 25 or 50 among the demonstrators ? The same ones like DeBlasio and Cuomo and Pritzker and Grisholm who viciously shut down and persecuted any business owner who tried to reopen.

Oh come now. You know me better than that. We've bantered back and forth for years in a civil manner.
Btw, it is often YOU who personalizes first. I don't mind . I can take it.
As for the word "infected " it can and does mean different things depending on the context. It can mean "sick" ; "exposed" and several other things. It is important because as YOU WELL KNOW , many people EXPOSED to Covid -19 do NOT have any symptoms. They can be and often are INFECTIOUS , meaning they can transmit the virus to others. I'm sorry , but I thought we AGREED about this.
As for the hypocritical attitude of many Blue State governors , it is a fact that they have hammered any business that has tried to open without their imprimatur despite all the precautions those businesses have taken. Yet these same folks are blithely permitting mass demonstrations without distancing or requiring masks. My point is a simple one - If we can have these demonstrations when groups are supposed to be limited in size then WHY can't businesses with strict sanitation , distancing and other precautions reopen. Likewise , they have had little to no sympathy for business owners and their employees but seem rather tolerant of looting those businesses. Looting and arson are destroying mostly black neighborhoods .
I could be patronizing and ask you whether or not you see any disconnect or inconsistency between the two policies but I don't want to insult you. I respect your intellect even when I strongly disagree with you.

Re: As states reopen, here’s how you protect yourself from the coming surge
Idiots here congregating in large groups Memorial weekend, high risk business rushed to open, plus some protestors waltzing around with no masks so there is a surge in cases here.
The city leaders here are likely to mandate people wearing masks in public until numbers go back down.
