4 people....looks to be about 6 feet apart....what's the deal?
"Per the order, there can only be four people recording from one place and “no singing or use of wind instruments, harmonicas or other instruments that could spread COVID-19 through projected droplets shall be permitted unless the recording of the event is done at one’s residence.”

California County Bans Singing During Online Church Services, 'Abortions Are Essential, But Singing in a Streamed Worship Service is Just Too Unsafe' | The Gateway Pundit | by Cassandra MacDonald
Mendocino County in California is being criticized for banning singing while churches are recording their online services, unless the people are singing from home.www.thegatewaypundit.com
California is reportedly considering a whole list of other actions to outlaw due to COVID-19:
Blowing Bubbles
- Gum or sudsy child entertainment devices
Whistling
Blowing out birthday or other celebratory candles
Laughing 'boisterously'
- Chuckles, guffaws, snickers, and 'golf claps' are encouraged
Emojis or Emotes that might cause 'boisterous' laughter
Farting
- Especially in Public
wait.... during ONLINE services? How do you spread corona by singing.... ONLINE?
You don't. This is where the headline immediately becomes suspect. First thing I checked was to see if this was satire from Babylon Bee or sump'm. Second thing was to check the source URL. And there is was, wasn't it.
So I looked up the issue... and it does appear that....
What they said was true. So many churches have been doing online church services. These include a half dozen people, on stage singing, usually spread extremely far apart on stage, and playing instruments.
The ban specifically says, no singing or playing of instruments.
Page 8, sub section C:
No singing or use of wind instruments, harmonicas, or other instruments that could spread COVID-19 through projected droplets shall be permitted unless the recording of the event is done at one’s residence, and involving only the members of one’s household or living unit, because of the increased risk of transmission of COVID-19
This is too far. Sorry, but this is too far.
Now even when the entire church is completely empty, and you have a whooping 6 people on stage, and likely six people in the church that have been together the entire time regardless.... and you tell them they can't even sing into a camera?
Then we need to ban the White House press corp too. We need to ban all the people at the restaurants too. Heck, we need to ban anyone from being within visual distance of each other.
No, this is ridiculous now. Sorry, but this really is too far. This is over reach. If feel sorry for anyone left in California. What a hell hole that place has become.
Organ is a bit out of fashion. I haven't been to a church that had an organ since I was a teenager.
That said, they were concerned about instruments that involve blowing into with your mouth.
Still an over reach.
