    Don’t get me wrong. I’m for opening up as much as we responsibly and safely can. But that requires responsibilities on everyone’s part.

      Why did the men in WW2 think bravado would protect them from a virus?

      I'm guessing it was because they were idiots. Or possibly it was the Germans who felt that way?

      The Nazis weren't big on choirs, that I do know. Maybe in their incredibly evil way, they'd stumbled upon a great truth. God hates fucking choirboys. [Insert priest joke here]

      I was only joking

        White House and CDC remove coronavirus warnings about choirs in faith guidance

        The Trump administration with no advance notice removed warnings contained in guidance for the reopening of houses of worship that singing in choirs can spread the coronavirus.

        Last Friday, the administration released pandemic guidance for faith communities after weeks of debate flared between the White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those guidelines posted on the CDC website included recommendations that religious communities “consider suspending or at least decreasing use of choir/musical ensembles and congregant singing, chanting, or reciting during services or other programming, if appropriate within the faith tradition.”

        It added: “The act of singing may contribute to transmission of Covid-19, possibly through emission of aerosols.”

        By Saturday, that version was replaced by updated guidance that no longer includes any reference to choirs or congregant singing and the risk for spreading virus. The altered guidance also deleted a reference to “shared cups” among items, including hymnals and worship rugs, that should not be shared. The updated guidelines also added language that said the guidance “is not intended to infringe on rights protected by the First Amendment.”

          Works for me. Give people the information and let them decide. Some will have choirs, some won't.

          Some people will be comfortable with mitigation efforts for their worship service, some won't. The individual churches will have different responses and the people attending them can decide whether to go or stay home.

            What's the age distribution of church attendees in the US?

            Only non-witches get due process.

              You have the right to make your own decisions. You do not have the right to put me at risk.

              That's the problem with "opening back up." I work in an open office floorplan. No walls, and everyone's very much closer than 6 feet. Oh and I work with a lot of boomers who think this virus thing is a big hoax because they don't know anyone who has it. We've already been told that management is chomping at the bit to get everyone back in the office, and there's not going to be an option to work remotely.

              What kind of contribution to the economy can someone make in the ICU?

              Please love yourself.

                I agree with this from Aqua.

                I understand that for some people, the church is a tremendous part of their life, and that is okay. But you cannot have blind faith. Sometimes the needs of society outweigh the wants of an individual person.

                  I'm not sure. Walk in one and see for yourself. God is good and you probably won't need a hardhat.😄

                            What is that should be published? Is it just this or is it for every public spread. I think I’m missing the point somewhere.

                                        The point is that some believe the interests of the state override the practice of religion.

                                        The point is religious pandering and the irresponsible practice of religion by the few are endangering the health of the general population.

                                          The problem is lack of consistency.

                                          Hair salons are open. Swinger gay sex clubs are open.

                                          Churches are closed.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
