Hi Nancy!
BM>> Somewhere in here I said Illinois was allowing small gatherings such
BM>> as weddings and funerals of up to 250 people. That number should have
BM>> been 50.
NB>> Yes, 50 makes better sense... in NYS, houses of worship have been
NB>> allowed a certain percentage of capacity (maybe 25%) with proper
NB>> distancing and protective measures (sanitizing and masks)... Our
NB>> sanctuary could hold over 300, but our usual attendance has been far
NB>> below that... since our reopen, we've been having about 40-50 there,
NB>> and could easily handle 60 or more, but not everyone is ready to risk
NB>> being indoors, or can't manage the mask for the whole time indoors...
NB>> This is a temporary phase on the way to getting back to normalcy... :)
BM> Right: there is still a risk when gathering. One thing when gathering with
BM> family and close friends, another with a semi-random group like
BM> at church. Distancing is only a part of the health equation.
NB> Our church is small enough it's more like close friends... but
NB> each has to decide how to manage the risks and the details... We
NB> do have options available, the service inside (with all the
NB> restrictions), the service being livestreamed still for those who
NB> can't or don't feel comfortable to come in person, and in the
NB> middle, we have the service broadcast on a close range FM
NB> frequency to listen out in the parking lot... I've been starting
NB> inside, and then go out to my car for the rest of the service...
NB> :)
Makes sense and seems to accomodate all options. Only thing missing is to
broadcast the video to an outdoor screen in the parking lot!
