‘... South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) said Monday that the thousands of people planning to listen to President Donald Trump speak at Mount Rushmore this week will not be required to practice social distancing.
...’

Not sure if the event will be held outdoor. If so, hopefully being outdoor will mitigate the risk somewhat.

Did you express your concern about this regarding the "protesters"?

Be curious to hear the Trumpists explain this one away. Is social distancing TDS?

[Copper]

That's a good question.

But more to the point is the value of social distancing determined by politics?

Are they going to be inside a building? NO????? Tell me - since when has anyone said you have to stay 6 feet away from everyone when you're standing outdoors???????

My town has a walking trail along the river. There are signs at the beginning and end of the path saying that "Proper social distancing of 6 feet is required along this path."

Photos tomorrow, if I remember to take them.

I did and still do. We could restart the thread in my name if you prefer.

I do. Why wouldn't you? The sunshine's not going to kill the virus.

I also said the protests were really bloody stupid.

One group of people acting like idiots doesn't mean it's OK for a rival group of people to act like idiots, too. The virus isn't keeping a log.

Here's the thing - the anarchists have been talking about their plan to deface mount Rushmore, but instead of a discussion about that, we're discussing who will stand where.

Just because Trump doesn't plan on requiring it doesn't mean people won't do it. Pay attention to what actually matters instead of wasting time on shit the media tells you to talk about, or you'll we'll find ourselves standing 6 feet apart watching the mountain explode.
