This is really a Due Process issue

Cuomo and de Blasio Church Lockdown Orders Knocked Down by Federal Judge
An order by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio to limit the size of church services has been struck down by a federal judge.
The preliminary injunction pointed out that Cuomo and de Blasio undercut their claim that lockdown orders were "generally applicable" by encouraging large protests against police brutality while discouraging large church gatherings.
"The State argues, in overly-simplistic fashion, that the challenged laws only incidentally impose a burden on religious exercise, and they are neutral and generally applicable, and therefore, only rational basis need be shown, which is self-evident: preventing the spread of COVID-19," District Judge Gary Sharpe wrote. "The State was silent with respect to the mass race protests."
Cuomo and DaBlosio are not quite as stupid as Newsom who specifically set a rule for churches.  I am still pondering the  stupidity of the man.

 But DaBlowsio and Fredo set a general rule and then began making exceptions based on politics. That requires a review, a Due Process.  The judge gave it on religious grounds, but this will apply in general for all those groups who get cheated by DaBlowsio and Fredo
