They should just quit giving the communion cup, which isn't part of the Latin Rite anyway. (It's an option which has somehow become standard.)

In terms of gatherings in public places, for heaven's sake, people, trust in God. If it's your time, it's your time. Make your peace with God and go to Mass.

Furthermore, the flu is not the Black Death, which in any case was not spread by going to church.

Yes, well.....I'm STILL staying away from crowds. Maybe it's not the Plague, but I still don't want it.

Well, that's mighty thoughtless. If someone has the flu, or flu symptoms, or is even just getting over the flu, they should STAY AT HOME AND NOT GO TO MASS!!

This is a severe strain, and exposing other people to illness is just plain rude.

And when one of my daughters has to be hospitalized because you "Made your peace with God", it will make me feel so much better /sarcasm off/ How about if you think of someone besides yourself? God gave you the knowledge of the spread of illness, a sneeze onto a pew that my three year old touches then rubs her eye, for example. Time for those with flu to use the brains God gave them. Stay home and pray.
