That is somewhat helpful of the 2K position that VanDrunen espouses.
As I indicated however, it is not the 2K that people like John Calvin espoused and which Sam Waldron pointed me to research.

VanDrunen's view does however seem to be the view that the Gospel Coalition Canada embraces and who condemn Churches that stayed open during lockdowns. Pilgrim did a good job of critiquing that aspect.

As for 2K vs 1K, in some ways there appears to be extremes on both sides and sometimes when I look at the 2K of Calvin and the 1K of many, is practical working out these things, it seems like semantics.

I have a good Reformed Baptist friend, who says he is definitely 1K. How he explains his view and how it should be worked out. In many ways, reminded me of a sermon by Sam Waldron on Romans 13 and Sam Is definitely 2K. So go figure.
