Probably because they're too busy saying that the whole thing is a hoax.

will actually be experienced by all those left behind.

During a livestream last night, televangelist Kenneth Copeland cured coronavirus.
Its gone now. He just held out his hand, asked viewers to touch their screens to meet it, and somehow coronavirus is no longer a thing. Who knew.

And they're magically immune!
The Church of Cyprus, an independent Greek Orthodox church, has no intention to stop serving wine and wafers during communion despite the threat of the novel coronavirus. Even though the ritual requires contact with the same vessels, theyre not afraid because they insist God would never let the virus transmit that way.
So I guess thats settled.
The Orthodox Times has the statement in English:

The Orthodox Times has the statement in English:
Regarding the offering of the Holy Communion, the position of the Church is known. The Holy Communion does not symbolize but it is the Body and Blood of Christ. It would be blasphemous to think that Christs Body and Blood could transmit any disease or virus. Based upon the centuries-old experience of Christianity, there is no evidence of such transmission. The priests who served in infectious diseases hospitals and administered the Holy Communion to those patients, in the end, received the remainder of the Divine Communion themselves by using the same spoon. No priest was infected in these cases.
