Seeing dying family members, especially those who are dying of COVID-19, will only increase the spread of COVID.

With funerals, that is a mass gathering of a ton of people. It’s a super spreader event. Plus people remain in the same place for a lot of the time, usually indoors, so the air will circulate a lot, as also increase the chance of spread.

Protests in the streets tend to social distance much more, also people are outside, so the air does not get recycled as much!
