You should really put a note in your post titles when the story is from the Babylon Bee or some other parody site.

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). Instrumental music is allowed as long as the musicians maintain at least 6-foot physical distancing. Musicians must be from one of the three households. Playing of wind instruments (any instrument played by the mouth, such as a trumpet or clarinet) is strongly discouraged.
At this point, I'm beginning to genuinely wonder if this is all some sort of elaborate plot by the Grinch to steal Christmas.
Most of the lefties I know are already canceling the holidays. A lot of them don't have kids or a spouse, so this means literally no Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's of any kind. That's some next level cultural/family atomization. What happens to people when they're isolated to this degree? I think we're about to see an historic uptick in suicides, domestic violence, and violent crime.
This will mostly happen to leftists because conservatives are saying fuck it and having their holidays anyways. So if Trump wins, and the lockdowns continue (because they are almost entirely political), on top of the immense lefty depression brought on by the victory of literally Hitler, we could have a real problem in our hands.
You're right that it's only slightly a joke. I wouldn't call it atomization, I would call it isolation and dependency on their ideologues for emotional affirmation.
