My reliable sources tell me that you're wrong
Just saw a video going around of Rabbi Shiff, the Ruv of Antwerp regarding Covid19. If someone could post a link here would be great. He acts like a classic "Shtat's Rav" and takes responsibility for his congregants.
There are so many rumors from "ultra super duper reliable sources" that I know first hand to be untrue.
I guess your source is a Sooper Sekrit.
אלעס גייט אהן ווי געהעריג אין ב.פ. די וועלט איז אונגענצען איינגערעט און מענטשען זענען געווארען גוט משוגע איבער דער נארישקייט. See you all in SoFL this weekend! #ThankYouCovid19

His claims are perfectly valid. Instead of calling him names. If people are shopping in packed stores (THEY 100% ARE) Going to restaurants and weddings (THEY 100% ARE) there is no reason to close a shul (assuming people can wash hands and there is an abundance of soap)
1. They will not be going to restaurants anymore and most likely not most weddings either2. Stores are not the same rsk level since it is not sustained exposure.3. מי שאכל שום וריחו נודף, יחזור ויאכל שום אחר ויהא ריחו נודף?
True. However how many people were first to drop minyan before going to restaurants. And people are still going shopping regardless of how many people are there.
