is this really so outrageous? it wasn't uncommon in pre-covid times for choir singers to periodically come down with colds after a performance or practice, the germs of 50+ people being projected all over each other for hours while they sing. it wasn't a big deal in pre-covid times, a little more of an issue for some people since. singing with a mask might not be fun or work out so well, but it is what it is.

Far more effective would be to test everyone before the performance but that would get in the way of the virtue-signaling.

That would be a good idea. But since that apparently wasn't going to happen, there were people who didn't feel it was worth the risk.

Why is it so hard to accept that people make their own choices, including people who may be immunocompromised and more vulnerable than you. Isn't that the way things should be? Why mock them?

Doesn't say anything about testing in the article.

This anti-vax US choir should wear N95 masks if they're that worried - others wearing masks would add little further benefit so no need to demand it.

Obviously, after the performance they would all be mingling to eat and drink anyway because they're human beings.

You're smarter than that, Mixed. Why do you bother clogging your brain with twisted logic?

Presumably you boycott any gigs in which the band aren't masked?
