At least the protesters understand that they have to wear a mask. Shouldn't really make light of anything going on with the Floyd protestors. It's very serious stuff that they are protesting.  I dont remember you making light of the anti mask protesters.

Let me say it again...

...making light of the people who think you are more susceptible to the virus if you are having fun.

I will patiently wait for people to go ape poo a week or so from now about how the protests killed people's grandmother's.  Anxiously waiting, waiting, waiting...

I find irony that these rioters, protesting authority, are all wearing masks.

I'm grateful they are wearing masks.

Saying that the protests are over something as generalized and non-specific as "authority" is uh something of a mischaracterization

Italian doctors are now say COVID-19 is losing it's punch.  While still transmittable, not nearly as lethal as the early/original strain.

It’s either weaker or it’s already killed off those most susceptible. 
 

If it is weaker, it’s not surprising. The same thing happened in previous flu pandemics. The weaker the symptoms, the more biologically successful the virus is.

Lets be real. The riots made covid weaker. And that just means the main stream media has wayyyy to much influence on people. If these riots ever stop, watch the liberal main stream news push covid back on us. Sad part is there are people that believe it. 

COVID19 is real.  It kills people.  All over the world.   It also is new.  

If COVID would have been a massively lethal virus? We would all be dead.  Because COVID highlighted just how horrific we handle actual pandemics in 2020.

I was making light of the people who seem to only care about gatherings when people are having fun.  They will be silent on any flare ups after this.  But they'll be all over the next pool party.

I daresay a protest carries a much greater urgency than a pool party, presenting an argument for non-equivalence, and as mentioned many protesters seem to be masked (reasons can obviously vary but the net effect is the same).

In SC we are down to 6 deaths a day from 10 at the height of pandemic statewide several weeks ago.   Still too high, but at least the numbers are going down despite no vaccine being available.

We averaged more than 6 per day last week.   I know the record in a day was set last week at 20.  Had another at 13.   That was just 2 days.

Wow what a stupid post. Did you go to App because you couldn’t get in to EZU?

There's a reason why I turned down a full ride at App even though I love Boone.
