Holy hell: More than 100 choir singers performed without masks at a Texas event for VP Pence.

Nearly 2,200 people attended the "Celebrate Freedom Rally”. Half of didn’t wear masks.

Do we never learn? Pretty sure there CDC warned about choir outbreaks. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Hope their local hospital has a few available beds, because they are about to have a big jump in cases after this.

I sing in two different choral groups. It kills me that I can't sing with them, but NO WAY! SMDH

But I’m not stupid.

All these folks just took part in an experiment. And they have no idea how it is going to turn out. Best of luck to them; they will need it.

will piss off those who are ringing the alarm bells. There is simply no need for a 100 man choir in these times.
I wished someone would ask them how many lives could have been saved if they hadn't politicized wearing masks and had instead been role models in that regard.

It’s sort of ironic that the choir put their masks on after they did their super spreading.

Better than nothing I guess.

All of us have been so worried about the fall and what we can or can't do. We have been scouring the internet every day for any data about singing. Studies have been few and far between.

Looks like we will now have real time evidence....
