It probably is that I just do not understand why this is happening and why churches feel they have to meet.  So much simpler to play RPGs online...which I did tonight.Can't catch a disease from portal or messenger.  Was only about 2 hours long though.  Pretty focused on the game.  One of the current players is a doctor.  He mentioned before we began about seeing when this will all settle down, but that it may be a while before we can see each other in person or hold sessions in person.  He is probably more religious than I am, but he was pretty critical of people ignoring science.  I'm not sure of what is happening as he didn't go into detail, but as things are heating up in my area (pandemic wise) I think he may be experiencing something or some stuff at the hospital that he isn't really talking to us about.</blockquote>
