Alyssa Pointer/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP, Pool Dr. Anthony Fauci predicted Monday that church services by mid-fall should resemble pre-coronavirus worship. That projection depends on at least 70% to 85% of the population getting vaccinated. Churches have been the sites of super-spreader events, since the virus spreads easily indoors when people are speaking loudly or singing in close quarters. Dr. Anthony Fauci predicts church services — with hugging, praising, and music-making — will be able to resume safely in mid-fall if the US vaccinates people "appropriately, effectively, and efficiently." Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made the projection Monday during the Choose Healthy Life Black Clergy Conclave, an online convening of more than 100 Black clergy, leading public-health officials, and corporate and scientific leaders who are working to boost COVID-19 testing and other resources in the Black community. It was led by the Revs. Al Sharpton and Calvin Butts.
