I know people want to socialize. A distanced porch party, a walk together outdoors, even an outdoors restaurant are much better bets, and allow people to see one another with a much lower risk profile. Extended indoors contact in crowded, confined settings is much higher risk.

An Oregon church kept holding services where large numbers of people gathered without masks, over time and in close contact. Now there is an outbreak. 356 people were tested — 66% tested positive and five are hospitalized. https://www.lagrandeobserver.com/coronavirus/covid-19-explosion/article_feb41198-af5c-11ea-b466-9bb49be5644c.html … and https://apnews.com/b2d7a8af05e862dc3e1d1c3d0cf0afd0 …pic.twitter.com/zBdohXYDkG

Given that the Oregon church is likely a close-knit community it's plausible that some seeding was done earlier (they moved outdoors on April 12) and some of this is secondary or tertiary attacks at households, but also some outdoors: prolonged talking/singing? without masks.

Outdoor church may be plausible but not like what this church has done. It should, at a minimum, have masks, minimal talking at close range between participants, distance, special care for vulnerable populations (like the elderly), limiting crowd size (staggered gathering)...

Aye, she nailed it with the “out of sight, out of mind” bit. News has shifted, so now COVID19 no longer exists in some people’s minds. I’ll keep wearing my mask, thanks.
