California has gone over the deep end, once again. The state has released mandatory guidelines for Thanksgiving. Not for big organizations, but for everyone in the state. For people who don't want to click on the link above, I saved it as a PDF below. Now, what kind of restrictions did the enact, you may ask?

Gatherings that include more than 3 households are prohibited. This includes everyone present, including hosts and guests.

Gatherings that occur outdoors are significantly safer than indoor gatherings. All gatherings must be held outside. Attendees may go inside to use restrooms as long as the restrooms are frequently sanitized.

People at gatherings may remove their face coverings briefly to eat or drink as long as they stay at least 6 feet away from everyone outside their own household, and put their face covering back on as soon as they are done with the activity.

Thankfully, they graciously allow people to remove face masks for medical reasons.

Face coverings can also be removed to meet urgent medical needs (for example, to use an asthma inhaler, take medication, or if feeling light-headed).

Gatherings should be two hours or less.

And the pièce de résistance:

Singing, chanting, shouting, and physical exertion significantly increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission because these activities increase the release of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols into the air. Because of this, singing, chanting, and shouting are strongly discouraged, but if they occur, the following rules and recommendations apply:

• All people who are singing or chanting should wear a face covering at all times while singing or chanting, including anyone who is leading a song or chant. Because these activities pose a very high risk of COVID-19 transmission, face coverings are essential to reduce the spread of respiratory droplets and fine aerosols;
• People who are singing, shouting, chanting, or exercising are strongly encouraged to maintain physical distancing beyond 6 feet to further reduce risk.
• People who are singing or chanting are strongly encouraged to do so quietly (at or below the volume of a normal speaking voice).
