Still no stories about Covid spread due to protests

@brenda said in Still no stories about Covid spread due to protests:
Must mean the masks are effective!
BTW, I agree it's way too soon to see cases pop up from the riots. With these being outdoor events and many wearing masks of various types, perhaps not much of a spike in new Covid cases will occur. Of course, the rioters may become asymptomatic carriers, and spread it to their family and friends, who can then spread it some more.
At least the rioters who came here from other states can take it back home again. A gift that keeps on giving!

My slant was really about main stream media ridicule of those who don’t abide by the lockdown and states where the lockdown is easing and what that means for spread and how not wearing masks is causing round 2. So here we are with super spreader events all across the country and the media is struggling to tell us a story of why these protests are important.
I mean WTF.

Deviating from this particular narrative is a huge, huge no-no. You have to believe in ACAB or you hate minorities. Sadly that's where we're at right now.

Well, @Loki now we have the Associated Press writing about
“Massive U.S. Protests Raise Fears Of New Coronavirus Outbreaks”,
and it’s carried by the Huffington Post:https://www.huffpost.com/entry/protests-raise-fears-coronavirus-outbreaks_n_5ed3966bc5b6535fe4b8b3ca
“Health experts fear that silent carriers of the virus who have no symptoms could unwittingly infect others at protests where people are packed cheek to jowl, many without masks.”
Now that we’ve got this one covered, maybe you can go find another topic on which to blame the press of bias.
Oh, shame on Trump‘s CDC for not publishing any public health guidelines on how to safely protest/riot during the COVID-19 pandemic.

That’s the worst part. No true and effective change can be effected without addressing the root of the problem. Unfortunately, the racist theme WILL carry the day, and all we can do is watch in astonishment and dismay as they proceed to make things worse.

Yeah. You found an article. I actually don’t believe you believe it proved your case so why would I?

Dude it's going to take about 2 weeks to see, that's the lag time.

What's the epidemiological lesson if we don't see a spike? It seems silly to wait for data when we already think we know good vs bad practice.
Education is extremely important.

Nothing. If no spike, it'll mean mostly that more protesters than not were wearing masks.

And Seasonality, and being outdoors, and...Everybody will be able to see what they want to see. No worries.

Am I right, @Loki ?Very few protesters are 80+ years of age. However if such a protester existed, I would be thrilled to see a long form CNN story written about their inspiring story of courage. Maybe RBG can make an appearance.

Where Trump’s CDC fell short, NYC’s Department of Health stepped up:

That’s what they mean by ‘use hand sanitizer’.

It does seem inconsistent to ban beach going but be fine with the protests, from a virus-standpoint. This pretty much means the lockdowns are over. I guess we will know in 3 weeks of outdoor mass gatherings of young people with most wearing masks is ok virus-wise. If this is ok, outdoor concerts and sporting events should be ok, no?
