    @jon-nyc said in Still no stories about Covid spread due to protests:

    Is that true in Texas even now?

    Phase 3:

    For outdoor events:

    "Individuals should avoid being in a group larger than 10 individuals (including those within the individual’s household).
    ...
     Local approval for large outdoor gatherings (those with an estimated attendance exceeding 500 individuals) is appropriate in this instance because a statewide standard is unable to take into account the various factors needed to ensure such a gathering in varied locations is safe and will minimize the spread of COVID-19. Further, business parity is not an issue at large outdoor events.

    So the first rule sounds like 'no' and the second rule sounds like 'yes, if you get permission'

    Yeah, I don't get it. You have to get "local approval."

        But the blame game has been permanently altered. Let’s see who stays in now that blame isn’t a good reason.

                  I would say there is a GKSR for that but I don’t think there is one for blithe unawareness.

                                  ‘South Carolina racial justice activists said they would postpone future demonstrations or move them online after at least 13 people who took part in previous protests tested positive for the coronavirus.

                                  As the number of cases across the country continued to climb ominously Monday, organizers of “I Can’t Breathe” protests in South Carolina urged participants to get tested for the virus.

                                  In a video posted Sunday on Facebook, organizer Lawrence Nathaniel said demonstrators who marched in Columbia, S.C., between May 30 and June 17 had tested positive. He said four organizers were confirmed infected, along with three photographers and six protesters.
“We need to do our part,” he said. “Go get tested. Don’t come to a protest until you get tested, okay?”
                                  ...’

                                    I confess part of me wants the protesters to get sick, especially those that desecrate statues, burn businesses and break the backs of those hard working people that have their lives invested in their businesses.

                                    I hope they get real sick. And, lots of them.

                                    Ax, I'm ahead of your "what about Trump rallies" question, which I'm sure would be coming.

                                    No, I don't want any patriots to get sick. Frankly, after watching the Trump crowds, I might suggest Jenny Craig so they don't get sick later in life. I think pound for pound, Trump rallies have the street protesters beat.
