I love going to synagogue. I go regularly. Don't go to synagogue right now. Don't go to church. The restrictions are temporary. And it is not a violation of law or morality to stop all gatherings above a certain size, including religious gatherings.
And by the way, if you're a religious person of any stripe -- Jew, Christian, Muslim, anyone -- and you are insisting on communal events in a time when those events are a serious danger to human life, you are involved in what Jews call hillul Hashem, or desecration of God's name.
This is not just my opinion. It is the opinion of virtually every major rabbi, pastor, priest and imam of whom I am aware.
