CA Governor Newsom Bans Singing In Houses of Worship!

Nothing quite uplifts our devotion to God like a song. 

That must be why California Governor Gavin Newsom is banning singing in houses of worship. 

Sure you might be able to scream into a megaphone and threaten to burn down Los Angeles in Newsom’s state, but please, sit down and shut up when you go to church.

From CNN:

While you can still attend in-person church services in California, you can’t sing.

The state, to curb a rapidly worsening pandemic, has temporarily banned singing and chanting in places of worship.
                                                                                                                                   “Practices and performances present an increased likelihood for transmission of Covid-19 through contaminated exhaled droplets and should occur through alternative methods like internet streaming,” the state’s Department of Public Health announced in an order Wednesday.
                                                                                                                                   California has had more than 24,000 coronavirus cases. On Tuesday, it announced 6,367 cases, the second highest total for the state since the pandemic began. This has prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to tighten restrictions.

Singing at services has proven to be one way to spread a virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
                                                                                                                                              The agency studied how coronavirus spread from one member to 87% of the singers at a Washington choir practice and said in a report:
                                                                                                                                              “The act of singing, itself, might have contributed to transmission through emission of aerosols, which is affected by loudness of vocalization.”
