Yes, they can watch Mass on ewtn, assuming they have cable. Some cannot afford or don't have cable...which btw, a reminder: lockdowns hurt the poor more than anyone
Catholics say the actual, tangible Presence of Christ abides in their churches 24/7 (except on Good Friday)
I cannot find the words to explain the difference between being at Holy Mass and not...words fail..
Most governors don't know the 1st thing about Catholicism
Where do Catholics say that Christ is present in their churches but not in their homes?

Jesus is a just a prayer away but there is nothing like being in the Real Presence.. nothing at all
It's not possible that there would be an 'actual tangible presence of Christ' anywhere, even in a church, unless of course someone is referring to the euphemistic 'body of Christ' that resides in the tabernacle in every church.
I went to Catholic grammar school. I taught CCD classes. I attended Bible study. There's one lesson I learned in first grade taught by nuns and that is "God is everywhere". We don't have to be in a house of worship to pray. We can do it while mowing the lawn, doing laundry, in a supermarket or watching television. Any time you what to 'connect' with Him, it's possible, no matter where your physical location is. I've been at the bedside of many dying people in my nursing life and one of the last things the majority of them have said, no matter what faith or denomination they happen to be is, 'please God, help me'. And yes, I believe he did.

You can believe as you want and I will know as I want

Did you mean "Eucharistic" rather than "euphemistic" (I hope)?
Well, that's exactly the definition of 'faith'.
Essentially, you're claiming that only people that are able to sit inside of a religious structure can receive God's blessings, simply because they're physically sitting in 'God's house'. If that were true, do you understand how many human beings in this world would be excluded? People like you have forgotten one of the primary teachings of Jesus Christ, and that's humility.
I could but no, I meant euphemistically. The Eucharistic host is not the actual 'body of Christ', it's a thin wafer made of rice or other grain. It's only symbolic, representative of something. It's a substitute for the real thing.
Wrong
We believe certain things and that is faith
Then there is knowing..
Of course Jesus loves us more...way more than we love ourselves
and so he knew how best to get us from Believe to Know (Sacraments)
Wrong
This is contrary to centuries of Catholic teaching...
I like rdg the words of the Saints on the RP

In your opinion. But it's almost impossible to believe that you ever taught Catholic religious classes if you're unfamiliar with transubstantiation.:roll:

All that I'm saying is that anyone, Catholics, Baptists, Jews, Mormons, whatever, can still practice their religion even if they're living 869 miles from the nearest church or unable to gather in groups because of a deadly pandemic virus. The OP also suggests that people that have no access to formal religion can't be a part of God's plan or receive his graces because they live in the Amazon or on a deserted island or remote part of Alaska. It's just outrageous to state that a person cannot communicate with God or Jesus Christ without a roof over their head, pews and a priest at the altar. That's pure hogwash and if you are indeed a Christian, you should know that.
That's NOT all you said. My post is a specific response to your post stating "[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]The Eucharistic host is not the actual 'body of Christ', it's a thin wafer made of rice or other grain. It's only symbolic, representative of something."
Again, that is your opinion, and again, my opinion is that your claim to have taught CCD simply beggars belief if you are unfamiliar with transubstantiation. This is Catholic 101 (and also High-Church Anglican).[/FONT]
The Eucharist host is the bread in a ritual. That's all it is.
