I do not recall seeing any reports of churches defying the feds during the 1918 pandemic. Why be different now ?
Having a church during a pandemic is like serving potato salad to members at a potluck dinner that was left out and spoiled. Expose members to contaminated food and leave risk management to God. It is our right and tradition.
Is the risk worth it ? Who is responsible for needless deaths ? Will the credibility of the local church suffer in the eyes of the community ? What are the legal liabilities ?
Turn the other cheek and wear the mask. Put others first and practice social distancing.

So much error in the post above.
1) The credibility of the church in the eyes of carnal man was always in question.
There is always a point where the church has to decide it is doing the will of God even if it doesn’t please man. “ Whether we ought to obey man rather than God”
...and the church( not carnal man) has to decide where that point is.
The 1918 pandemic did not get its momentum from internet social media and MSN media hype. People witnesses with their own eyes mass death. They were not reacting on here say or a news report .
There is a place where it’s better to die in faith than to live in fear at the expense of faith being cast aside.
Heb 11:35 - Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection
