For people like these, davening was always a cultural thing, G-d never had anything to do with it.
Kinda like the people who have chometzdike matzah-balls on the seder night because the seders got to have matzah-balls.
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

There was one person who I was surprised that his family was there.

Overalll there are I think four types of people by these minyanim
1) the smart-alek type that think it’s not dangerous and no one knows what they are talking about.
2) the people that feel this is the only way they are Jewish.
3) the people that need to socialize.
4) the people that don’t care too much about others.

3) the people that need to socialize.

That is a big problem. Many people are going out of their minds....

Love it. I bet most of these types during regular times will miss minyan for non-essential needs (e.g. travel for pleasure)

You know there's a saying that says vote early and vote often.

@CountValentine  I believe that's from Chicago.

Early intervention and constant hand washing making it a force of habit is the key.

I feel like these days I wash my hands as much, less sanitizer, more gloves but rarely touch face.

You got to be practical 65% of Americans did not wash their hands after going into the bathroom before this pandemic started.

I'm not sure what anybody in the right mind would use a gas pump. Even gas stations offered gloves 2 years ago saying how hundreds a day touch the pump.

I'm happy I could raise an early cry. Im not hysterical by nature but I saw that we needed to stop!

Do you know how much tzaar this is? Accross from my parents, one rabbi lost his father, down the block, another Rabbi lost his father and mother.

Couldn't be more wrong. I was educated by @yuneeq and in turn many people I spoke to influenced others. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that lives were saved from this forum
