Sacrament meeting probably not. But I kind of don’t see why not though. We’ve been blessed with this technology so why not take full advantage of it during these circumstances? But for Sunday school, RS, priesthood mutual and so on maybe.
Let’s just hope and pray this doesn’t last very much longer.

I have not. Many years ago while in a bishopric I was asked to specifically observe to see if an individual did or not, but only report, not interfere. He did not partake. I would think protocol would be for the bishop/SP to talk to the individual privately if they have asked them not to partake and they did.
I personally find it very unfortunate that bishops and state presidents take their callings so personally. Yes, it’s important they observe their responsibilities, but they must not let this artificial power take over their human decency. Slapping the sacrament tray out of someone’s hand is out of line. Isn’t the sacrament representative of the atonement and sacrifice of Jesus Christ? Therefore, what say does any man have over Jesus concerning the worthiness of an individual?
My Dad was a SP for 10 years. Quite a bit of his calling involved having to train bishops and other priesthood leaders to knock that crap off.He’s no longer SP anymore and sadly that’s very rampant in the stake again
Lots of people in these callings unfortunately let it get to their head. It’s so sad. What’s worse is when you get this boys club attitude going. It’s very bad and does a lot of harm sadly. Sorry to go off tangent a bit.
