Just lock the doors of the church after the mass starts and quarantine all the attendees. ;P

Well, if you genuinely believe in an eternal afterlife in paradise, and that Mass & Eucharist are a requirement to get there, then indeed it’s logical to take some risks with your finite earthly existence. Better to risk dying early on earth and make it to eternal paradise, than it live a little longer here but burn in hell forever.
