Just re-found this @ayjay essay in an old tab.
The question I would ask churches that are re-opening without masks or distancing, but with lots of congregational singing, is: How do you think infectious disease works, exactly? How do you think COVID–19 is transmitted? What’s the theory you’re operating on?
I still know people using an incoherent mix of, well, all of these:
- There is no real pandemic.
- It’s a Chinese bio-weapon.
- Masks (etc.) don’t work.
- There’s easy and effective treatments.
