Epidemiologists fear that singers may be 'super-spreaders' of COVID-19. In May, the CDC had issued guidance on limiting choir activity. But over the weekend, Mike Pence attended a campaign rally at a megachurch — where about 100 people sang unmasked.

a report on a 2 1/2-hour indoor choir practice in Skagit County, Wash., that took place in early March and was attended by 61 people. Afterward, 85% of those singers apparently contracted the coronavirus, with 32 confirmed and 20 probable COVID-19 cases. Three of the singers were hospitalized, and two died.

That month, the CDC posted guidance regarding singing for leaders of faith-based organizations, advising that they suspend or at least decrease use of choirs and musical ensembles as well as congregant singing and chanting.from the CDC website by the end of May. NPR reported that an unnamed federal official said that it was taken down because it had not been cleared by the White House.

Trying to be silly?

So church bad yelling at protests good got it.

Next thing they're going to say that's why Trump doesn't go to church. Well, only to the outside, on a Monday night, to hold up a Bible he doesn't read, for a photo op.

What about 100000 shouters at the protests?

If people can’t raise their voices together in song and joy. If people are not free to assemble and worship. If we can’t visit relatives and spend time with our communities outside as we please. If we can’t earn a living. If our children can’t go to school. What is the point?

The Spew Crew.

Leftist logic: burn a church and you are a hero. Go to church and you are a criminal.

Pence is gonna Pence.

There was 1000% no singing at any BlackLivesMatter protest events. And if there was, NPR would have told us.

No one ever said VP Mike_Pence was the sharpest tool in the box

They sang unmasked, never heard this tune!

Blessed be the fruit.

Let Darwin's theory play out.

Yet thousands of Antifa and BLM rioted and ruined people lives.

Why you might ask......because he is an idiot or covidiot.

Must not be that serious then even Trump doesn't wear a mask, wishy washy not consistent, a cover up a way to murder people and get away with it

'choir activity' lol

Hahaha lol

Screaming protestors? Spitting protesters? Singing protestors? That seems to be ok

Y'all pro-lifers are really starting to wear me out. Don't know how long I'll be able to keep up with all these thoughts and prayers.

Why always piss at leadership! God you hate these people! Time to defund NPR, they clearly are biased and have thrown journalism out the window!

How convenient

Not if you're singing along to Diana Ross at home alone...

If the church hosts a campaign rally, shouldn’t that church pay taxes?

“Against stupidity, no one can fight and win.' -Albert Einstein

They’re also super-spreaders of super-BS.

😂😂😂 singers

From now on, hymns will only be hummed.

They will stop at nothing to confine us into prisons. FIGHT BACK!!!

Cancelling music next... 🤣🤦

See Mount Vernon, WA choir practice.

Yesterday was lowest US deaths since March. How about less BS scare stories?

Are you a super-spreader?

Seems like a mixed message?

*fingers crossed*

The Latest: VP Mike Pence says BLM wants radical left agendaVice President Mike Pence says 'all lives matter,' and that he doesn’t want to say “Black Lives Matter” because he doesn’t agree with what he believes is the political message behind it. The only black lives that matter to BLM are ones that fit their political narrative. Marxist organization bent on burning America. Part of leading is being able to speak directly to individual groups. Pence fails here. It's like being asked if you think pizza is good and replying with 'mash potatoes are delicious'. Pence should say proudly 'black lives matter' because they do. Help heal our country. I wonder if- next weekend - during the 4th of July celebrations - All Countries Matter?

Pence says young people are contributing to spike in COVID cases"Younger Americans have been congregating in ways that may have disregarded the guidance that we gave on the federal level," Pence said. Says the man who keeps telling us every thing is just peachy. Infections are infections. ICU beds are ICU beds. Deaths are deaths, depsite lower rates for younger victims. Maybe set an example and wear a fucking mask?
