    It's too early. The riots have been going on less than a week.

    +1.

    I'm tracing weekly growth rates of the top 20 states.

    Minnesoooota already leads the pack. We'll see what happens in 2 weeks time.

    Only non-witches get due process.

        My guess is the impact will be material. Though it helps that it's all occurring outside.

          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.

                All of America's dumbest cultural ideas are around race. They exist because everybody is terrified of being seen thinking about anything beyond the sharp good vs evil outlines the narrative has painted.

                Education is extremely important.

                  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.

                            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.

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

                                    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.

                                    Education is extremely important.

                                      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.

                                      How about she tosses a Molotov cocktail at a capitol police vehicle? I’d pay to see that.

                                      Only non-witches get due process.

                                        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. 👿

                                          I notice they don’t mention not throwing Molotovs...
