Singing in church is now illegal in California

Gavin Newsom on Twitter: "In the absence of national leadership ...

Californians are still free to attend their house of worship. But they’re forbidden from singing or chanting.

Updated COVID-19 guidelines issued Wednesday by the state Department of Public Health require churches and other houses of worship to “discontinue singing and chanting activities.”

In previously allowing religious organizations to reopen in late May, the state merely said these institutions should “strongly consider discontinuing singing, group recitation, and other practices and performances.”

Health agencies such as the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say shouting or singing can spread the coronavirus just as easily as coughing or sneezing.

California’s health department agrees, and as Gov. Gavin Newsom begins tightening protocols during a resurgence of the pandemic, it now says singing and chanting are outright banned.

“Activities such as singing and chanting negate the risk reduction achieved through six feet of physical distancing,” the state said in its new guidelines.

  • What about praying out loud in a chant? Like the Rabbi's and Orthodox Christians do? 

  • Demo-socialists, by whatever excuse, have eliminated God from all aspects of their lives and without God to guide them, they readily succumb to EVIL.  Leaving them morally bankrupt, as well as ever more sinful and wicked with wrong actions stemming, from their debased and perverted character.  (Note, a “D” added to evil = Devil) Evil creatures that only thrive on chaos, turmoil and misery; even their own.
    Remember in November – Worthless politicians are elected by apathetic citizens who don’t bother to VOTE.

  • Socialist demand they are in control, thus an order and illegel.   Gov. violate the first Amendment, free speach.   However, your heath department could inform people 1) significant fration of people with Covid-19 do not have symptoms, they do not know it.  The reason for masks to to prevent them from spreading the virus.  So if you do not know who THEM ARE  an approach is to assume everyone could be transmitting the virus as the breath shorter distance, speak softly short distance, sing farther distance, cough much farther distance, in a group singing in the same direction much farther distance.  Suggest churchs wear maskes and sing with the masks on.   For the respect of others in the congregation that have not had Covid-19.    

    As far as young people that will not be significantly effected by Covid-19 I find it stupid to try to prevent them from getting it.  My guess is that herd immunity is around 80% of the community have recovered from Covid-19.  The first anti-body test screening found in NY City ~ 20% were recovered and rural ~ 5%.  My guess today the cities are about 50% and rural area ~ 15%.  Thanks to the protest in the cities , opening up of businesses, and summer activities.  We will get a vacine but the effectiveness is timing is unknown.  Herd immunity is a proven solution.   

    Death ratio for Covid-19 not seem to be the same as the flu.  We do not shut down the country for the flu.  The death ratio for the flu is with vacine. Both are air borne transmitted.  similarity would suggest vaccine effectiveness will be similar.   Each year the changes in the flu result in herd immunity starting over.  Same situation we face with Covid-19.   Schools are open even though children death ratio is much higher for the flu then for Covid-19.  The death ratio for the ealderly for the flu is high even with a vaccine.  Likely Covid-19 with a vaccine would be similar.  

  • You REALLY can't make this shite up, what a world!

  • WHAT!? This has gone way too far. Fight back now. The left has lost it's flipping mind. They cannot silence the church.

    • If there's anything worth fighting for, this would be it.

       

  • First off you need to understand who these "paramecium" are!! brown was/is a "ZEN" budist ...........................  newsom is the nephew of pisslousie...

    • You mean it's genetic??

       

  • 6555063690?profile=RESIZE_584xThis is a direct assault on the plain language of the First Amendment, applied to the States by the 14th Amendment.  The First says that government "shall make no law" restricting the freedom of religion.

    Nothing in the Constitution is plainer than that.

    The Founders were well aware of contageon but made no provision either in the Bill of Rights or in the body of the Constitution (for example, the Habeas Corpus clause) for any contageon exception.

    If the Left can get away with silencing prayer and praise in churches, there is nothing remaining of Constitutionally protected expressive association.

    If this is not worth fighting for, what is?

    • Can a legal challenge be once again put together for Federal Court?
