Good thing they were isolated. That's the biggest worry by far. A conference in Boston earlier this year may have led to 20,000 cases (eventually over time). That's what we're trying not to do here.

No the boycott continues.....Many Americans are finished with the NBA. Spoiled athletes that are the most 'privileged' people in this country.

Well, I guess if some of the Republicans die of covid, they'll "vote" for democrats.
It's odd how things like huge mobs burning and looting are fine with Democratic covid-worriers but legitimate legal protected activities like church and political conventions are absolutely awful.
There is a reason why Trump is gaining, especially among independents like me. Democrats are incredibly hypocritical idiots.

^Not true. COVID worriers were very worried about how the protests were going to increase cases. It turns out, however, that that didn’t happen overall because 1. The protests were outside and 2. Masks were worn, and most importantly 3. Many people in the same city as the protests stayed home (i.e., isolated), countering the effects of increased transmission from the protests.
At least the protestors usually wear masks. Very few people did last night at Trump’s rally. It was outside, so that helps. We’ll see what happens.

Lol^, heard a number democrats say protests (and presumably looting, burning, etc.) were more important than covid lock downs and many more said nothing, but just happen to relax lock downs when the protests started. And it just so happened that's when covid cases went through the roof. And lol at protesters wearing masks. I saw plenty who weren't. (Of course, criminals like those dirt-balls, have been wearing masks for centuries. ) And I suppose you'll insist they were all properly registered as part of a clinical trial, right? Lol If someone got covid, my understanding was you couldn't even ask them if they took part in a protest! Now I'm sure you'll quote some phony liberal academic's study about not one covid case can be attributed to the riots.

^you’re no independent, so don’t pull that bullshit that independent people that may have been thinking dem are going to Trump.

"1. The protests were outside and 2. Masks were worn"
You're far too partisan if you believe the shit you post, NR.
Reload your bullshit and try again
All of us saw the protests and riots and know for a fact that many protesters and rioters did not wear masks.
And, there was definitely a bump up in cases after that shit went down.

We have been on lockdown by Emperor Newsom for nearly six months and still have tons of cases. Only morons think you can actually hide from this virus. It isn't going anywhere and getting it doesn't mean you are going to die. You can choose to hide in fear or you can choose to live your life and face the consequences.

Use the link and scroll down to the graph "Daily New Cases in The United States" Click on the 7-day rolling average, which makes it easier to interpret. What do you see? The daily average is on a downward trend in the latter part of April, May and into June. The States started opening in April and the trend continued downward. At the end of May and for 3 solid weeks (and continuing to this day in some places) there were protests, riots, and marches in cities large and small throughout all 50 states, with close contact, yelling, screaming, coughing from irritants in the air, few masks, etc
Lo and behold the 7-day moving average began moving up on June 9th. It doesn't take a scientist to surmise that hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people out in close contact, for an extended period of time, was likely the major cause of the second wave of corona virus cases.
Even if their cause was commendable and worthy, doesn't mean we should look the other way and/or ignore the obvious evidence in front of our eyes. Even if out doors it may be more difficult to transmit, it still can be, and those infected went home to spread it to family members, and on and on.

"legitimate legal protected activities like church"
Churches are the biggest racket.
Maybe you should ask your imaginary god to get rid of Covid-19 so you can go back to church.

Hey DrHed, That is completely a spurious and bogus argument. You need to show a correlation or link between the increase in the 7-day MA and the locations where the protests (probably the largest ones) took place. Not the 7day MA for the U.S. but the specific areas. For example, there were major and ongoing protests in NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis, Washington, DC, Detroit. Portland, Seattle and, or course, Los Angeles. Except for LA, there was not a major explosion of the 7-day MA in those cities. I will have to relook at the LA statistics but my gut feeling is that LA also did not see a significant increase. Based on what I have read, the large increases took place all across the South and some Southeastern states: TN. AL, MS, KY, GA, FL, TX, AZ. While some of those states did have large protests, it seems to me that it is more reasonable to say it was due to the opening of bars, gyms, etc., and the lack of mask wearing.
In terms of the Democratic party leaders being hypocrites about the protestors, I don't find this argument very convincing. Unless I am mistaken, I never heard the Dem party leaders getting on TV or social media and telling folks to get the fuck out of their house and into the streets. The protests were spontaneous and I don't think the Dem party leaders could have persuaded anyone to not participate. There is a big difference from saying to protestors, "please wear masks if you are going to protest" and having indoor events with large numbers of people not wearing masks or encouraging folks to "liberate" their state, which is a codeword to go back to normal and don't take any precautions.
When you go to vote, please remember:
-Worst public health crisis in 100 years - Donald J. Trump, President
-Highest unemployment rate in 90 years: Donald J. Trump, President
-Largest number of unemployed Americans ever: Donald J. Trump, President
-Wholesale destruction of several industries - airlines, hotels, restaurants, tourism, brick and mortar retail - Donald J. Trump,President
Harry Truman is famous for saying "the buck stops here". You guys may fantasize about the left turning America into a socialist state and anarchy in cities but the things above scare more a lot more.

Can't vote in person, but can rally in person. Bad RNC Convention for gathering, but protesting in mass is okay.
|
|
|
Yeah that rally with all those people was a bad idea even though it looked like most of them were wearing mask. The people at Trump's rally this afternoon and last night at the Whitehouse weren't wearing mask at all. Both events were stupid in the time of covid.

Churches can't hold services with masks, but there can be mass rallies. Cities provide exemptions to their 14 day quarantine for the protesting. I acknowledge there are a lot of masks, but not all. Can one definitively say there will be no Covid-19 cases from this rally? If yes, then churches can hold services and Citizens can vote in person. Why did the protest need the exemption from the 14 day rule? Better yet, why does the 14 day quarantine exists? But bad RNC Convention? Just like the initial mass protests, the post Covid-19 spike was due to restaurants, bars and gyms opening, not the protests, looting and rioting? All of the protesting and rioting that are currently being allowed to "continue" in the cities, can one definitively conclude there are no Covid-19 cases from them? Bad RNC Convention? Interesting!

People were also protesting having to wear face coverings. The Republicans didn't seem to complain about these protests though. These people were complaining about government infringement on their rights, yet the real government infringement is on the right to choose.
Also, in Michigan a store security guard was shot for telling a customer that her child had to wear a mask to enter the store. The customer yelled and spit on the security guard before returning with her husband who shot the and killed the security guard. There have also been other threats/incidents of violence and physical abuse directed at businesses/employees over mask policies.
Does conservative media even report on these issues? Or do they just spew propaganda to fire up their base with misinformation.

Sturgis.
460,000 showed up
102 positive cases.
Is that what we call a super spreader event?
|
|

@physicsguy, In a free society it is a matter of personal choice, but as you correctly stated, the emperor has been ruling by decree under emergency powers for 6 months. Just how long are emergency powers supposed to last?
|
|

It’s still early for Sturgis, but yes it is the start of super spreader.

lol Americans are not going to boycott shit. we're weak minded as soon as your team starts winning people will jump back in the bandwagon.

Quat, I presented evidence and data that was overwhelming and straightforward. You would have to be dense and/or obtuse not to see that hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people rioting, protesting, marching for weeks on end, during a viral pandemic, would be a huge contributing factor to spreading the virus.
But if you're more comfortable living in your partisan fantasy, so be it!
