Singing in church has been shown to be a major cause of superspreader events. There have been a number of them in South Korea, one I know of in Germany, and 1 in Washington State.<br /><br />Singing (and shouting in demonstrations) efficiently creates aerosols of the virus, and those aerosols stay aloft longer than droplets and infect people nearby.<br /><br />As for the First Amendment - all rights are conditional on compelling government needs (or however the courts word it). But, the restrictions have to be both necessary and non-discriminatory. The California restriction goes too far in that it doesn't exempt churches that can keep the singers from infecting each other and others via distancing and appropriate ventilation.StormCchaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998174514362089471noreply@blogger.com
