I heard a good valid reason. The Bishops are afraid of the liability and getting sued because
someone at Mass comes down with COVID-19 because of an another person near them was coughing
and sneezing. All they need is a Doctor say the illness is coronavirus related,
Even if the person recovers the church still can be sued and into millions of dollars. There are lawyers
looking for cases to enrich themselves. And the judges most likely go along with it because they also
get a piece of the pie.
