There's a parish in East Orlando, FL - St. Joseph's. Visiting that area I attended an N.O. Mass- with an Altar rail ! No Eucharistic ministers... It was definitely a pleasant surprise - a hybrid N.O. Mass- even with some Latin interspersed... very nice Mass indeed... so yeah...those parishes are out there... not many though...

The biggest issue now, as I see it, is with the Eucharistic ministers and the lack of understanding embodied in the decades old now watered down doctrine of the Priest's representation of in persona Christi....

If my neighbor Carol down the block (albeit a nice person) is the one giving me Communion, why am I concerned with in the hand ??
Its already gone through hers....

Don’t receive from so-called EMHCs. Set yourself up so that you only receive from the consecrated hands of an ordained priest. Switch Communion procession lines if necessary to avoid non-priests. If the consecrating priest has completely delegated distribution of the Most Holy Sacrament to others (say, to a deacon, or to one or more EMHCs) out of concern of contracting COVID-19, and there is no concelebrating priest distributing the host, it would probably be best to refrain from receiving at that mass. Better to do that than risk offending God the Father Almighty by arguably desecrating the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of his only begotten Son.

So two wrongs do make a right?
