I realize these restrictions were already eased but... I don't see how any locale can restrict religious service if it has indoor dining or bars open. If anything, the former can be done with masks. That said, it should be noted that singing/choir indoors is especially high-risk.https://twitter.com/stevenmazie/status/1331838731893043201 …

Also as far as I know, there are zero movie theater cases from February or March. I think quietly sitting indoors, especially with high-grade masks, may well not be that risky. I would still advise anyone higher risk to avoid it but... It appears that talking/singing is the risk.

Agree! Movie theaters remaining closed has felt arbitrary (and it's just a bummer). I'd never argue NY's rules are ideal, even if I feel safer in the city than I would in lots of the US and Europe. But one thing they have clearly not done is unduly impact religious practice

Hi Dr. Tufekci do you have a thought on LA County restricting outdoor dining (now takeout or delivery only)? Public health argument which makes sense is even outdoors there's close out-of-household contact, talking, no masks. But I wonder if adds to legitimacy issues
