We witness that the religious denominations took into consideration changes without precedent in their dogmatic history in regard to the actual threat of Coronavirus. While spreading wide-world COVID19 makes changes in many social departments of our society on levels we never thought about. We see for example the RomanCatholic Church that suspended all masses here and there https://qz.com/1808390/religion-is-at-the-heart-of-koreas-coronavirus-outbreak/, banns the crucial gestures in rituals [ https://abc13.com/5976098/ to suspend the distribution of Holy Communion from the Chalice, to distribute the Eucharist preferably into the hands of the faithful, and to avoid the physical contact from a peaceful handshake, to forego ash crosses on forehead, to suspend placing water in holy water fonts at the entrance of churches, that the churchgoers “refrain” from kissing or touching the cross for veneration, or even cancellation of masses ] Buddhist temples and Protestant churches around Korea have also suspended religious gatherings. Orthodox Romanian Church did the same thing https://basilica.ro/patriarhia-romana-masuri-sanitare-si-spirituale-in-timp-de-epidemie/, but only in the first place, because after 'recommending' for its believers not to kiss public icons in Churches, but their indoor ones, and receive Holy Communion with teaspoons for single-use, same Church reconsider these recommendations and withdrew her decision [perhaps at the pressure of civil fundamentalists].

How can we qualify these measures and moreover the withdrawal on behalf of religious believers, as weakness, populism, diligence, assuming the human limits, or...something else?
