I'm not sure if this belongs in another thread, move it if it does.
So, I am in Amish County, PA, surrounded by farms, mules and the old order Amish. I've got a zillion Amish relatives, as my mom was Amish until the family left the faith to be Mennonite.
My neighbors, dairy farmers, have assured me I will not go hungry!!! Lol, It would not hurt me to go hungry.
So in PA, the Amish ive talked to think this is all political. (?). They have complied and cancelled church (they meet in homes with about 50-75, and tons of children. Each church member has a turn to host). My neighbor told me the bishops met and decided church is resumed on Sunday. I'm not sure if this is for the whole county, or just this group. They've compromised by not having the huge meal afterwards. Sundays in Lancaster county have many buggies, with Amish dressed in their best enroute to homes. I expect this will not end well.
If the Amish were in charge, they would've shut nothing down, buried the dead, maybe gotten herd immunity, and said it was Gods will. Remember how they forgave with the Amish school shooting..one of which was a relative of mine.
So dont bash the Amish, but how is your area dealing?
