Our church has taken as many precautions as we can while still remaining open for in-person services.
* Offering live streaming.
* Reducing capacity for services to one-quarter capacity and having our ushers enforce 6-foot (4 seats) separation between family groups.
* Constant "wear a mask, please" signs and reminders.
* Reducing childcare room capacity to 6 children and 2 adults per room.
* Opening every window and door possible.
* Keeping the ventilation system running to circulate air.
Our city fire marshal recently threatened us with fines for keeping the interior doors open to improve ventilation.

It is unbelievable that this list of behaviors does not include airing out or ventilating indoor public spaces.
Here in sunny California, where the weather in the Bay Area has been mild and warm through December 3, I find myself walking into shops or offices every day that have operable windows and doors: all shut tight.
Many of these spaces could be indistinguishable from the outdoors in terms of fresh air flow. For reasons I cannot fathom this simplest (and healthiest) mitigation is not practiced.
