| Newsom Bans Singing In Houses Of Worship After Downplaying Spread Of Coronavirus At Protests |
| 2020-07-04 |
| [DAILYWIRE] Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has issued new restrictions limiting the reopening of the economy in nearly 20 counties across the Golden State. One of the more controversial measures introduced Thursday will ban singing and chanting at houses of worships, which are already restricted to allowing 25% of guests or just 100 worshippers (whichever is lower). The Sacramento Bee reported that in late May, Newsom simply encouraged houses of worship to “strongly consider discontinuing singing, group recitation, and other practices and performances.” The outlet also reported that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that singing and shouting “can spread the coronavirus just as easily as coughing or sneezing.” |

| #8 Very good idea to avoid singing in closed spaces. You should remember the choir practice in Washington state (after which many died) and the funeral in Georgia (ditto). I'd be out of there in a heartbeat. |

| #3 Clearly he hates the protesters and wants them to die horribly, while cherishing the lives of church-goers. Someone should ask him about that at a press conference. |

| #2 Maybe he should try banning the Muslim call to prayer. |
