A prominent German virologist is urging a ban on singing in church at Christmas during the COVID-19 pandemic
A prominent German virologist, Alexander Kekule, is urging a ban on singing in church at Christmas to prevent the release of coronavirus-carrying aerosols.
He also warned that it would be better if the Creed and the Lord's Prayer were prayed in silence.
"At most, saying the 'Amen' at the end is OK," he said told the weekly magazine Focus.
"If everyone is wearing a mask in church and there is a maximum of one person per five square meters, then worship services at Christmas are justifiable. But only if there is no singing," said Kekule, director of the Institute for Medical Microbiology at Halle University hospital. His remarks from the interview were reported by the German Catholic news agency KNA.
In his remarks to Focus, Kekule called for more guidance from the government.
"We shouldn't be leaving the churches on their own," the virologist said. "The fear that we always must keep in mind is so-called superspreading."
Karl Lauterbach, health affairs expert for the Social Democratic Party, agrees, KNA reported.
"There must be clear rules for church visits. Distances and hygienic rules must be strictly observed. There should be no singing in church.

Oh, shaddup
Is a flash mob at the mall okay, but not the same song in church?
What is it about word formation that the words of the Lord’s Prayer are bad, but “Amen” by itself is okay?
We all know it’s hate - they hate God and they hate His people. There is no science behind their attacks on us.
We’ll be singing to the rafters in our church.
They had the chance to tell the truth... They should not have lied about where it came from, how it spreads, HCQ, Vaccination timeline. effectiveness of treatment, & everything else they have said so why believe anything they say now?
The best part of Christmas (after remembering “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us”) is singing the hymns to worship the newborn King.
These “experts” are total quacks.
Germans have been known to ban singing at synagogues
If the self-appointed “experts” are for mandating it...then I will be doing it even more zealously than I normally would. FU Commie!
Love it - Perfect!
If anything,2020 reaffirmed my pure hatred and distrust of government. Government is the root of all of this evil. Of course let’s not forget the people who give government all of their power and energy.
They hate any power greater than their l own!!
Screaming at a protest, however, it highly recommended.
Just for you Alexander Kekule!
“Fa La La La, go get Phucked!”
