This Good Friday was not very good to many people across the nation due to social distance policies enacted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In some cases, it was rather the opposite.
One man was forcibly dragged out of a Philadelphia Transit Bud by police for not wearing a mask in public, and is on a viral video circulating on many social media platforms.
Another viral video shows a man sitting in his car, receiving a citation from a police officer in Greenville, Mississippi for violating social distancing laws. He was alone in his car, attending a Good Friday service with many others in the parking lot of their church.

The most widespread account of this now Black Friday comes from Gov. Beshear of Kentucky. He has threatened that if anyone attends a mass gathering, their information passed to health officials. They I turn will visit these individuals at their home with orders for a fourteen day quarantine.
Yet, we the people have been on lock down for weeks. Many are frustrated by the constant hoarding of basic necessities. Many families can not come together in this time of agony and ecstasy as they are concerned they may be carrying the Covid-19 virus and will pass it to an older or high risk family member.

Yet, there could be a solution literally staring us all in the face.
Matthew 28:6-8
“He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
“And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”
So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. There were no cars, telephones, or social media. There was only word of mouth traveling from one to another by foot.
The Solution
As in the first Easter, Mary and Mary Magdalene went from the tomb and told the Disciples what the Angel said, and that the tomb was now empty. And the news began to spread from Disciple to one person, and another, and still continues to spread to this day.
If you are concerned about being exposed, exposing others, or are being intimidated by local officials over violating social distancing restrictions simply keep the word spreading.
Go outside and greet your neighbors with the news. Tell the people in the car next to you in traffic. Post a short video on social media. Most importantly.
Keep the word that He Is Risen moving forward, for all time.
