    Howdy,

    So, the Leftstream media was crying about staying at home and "social distancing" and now they have no problem with people gathering in tight spaces, breathing in each other's neck and risking COVID-19 infection, eh? Oh, the hypocrisy! o_O
    I recon if there is a spike in infected people, the Left will :roll: :roll: :roll: and play like it's has nothing to do with them and their protests.

    What say you? You can check 2 options in the poll. :nod:

    P.S.

    Clearly, we are going to get more cases.
    At the same time, a lot of the country is starting to open up, which will also lead to more cases.

    This isn't a result anyone wants. But if you know how to go back in time, you could make some serious money.

    What does the media have in anyway to do with people congregating demonstrating rioting or looting????They in no way encourage it or cause it, they 0nly report on it AFTER THE FACT!!!!!

    i find it hard to believe that in this day and age anyone can be quite this ignorant concerning the role media plays in our society. from the questions they ask and how they ask them to the stories they choose to run to the way they word their articles, it is the media that decides how our largely ignorant populace is informed. they are selling you a product. you may not directly pay for that product, but the popularity of their message directly affects their advertisers and their bottom line. fear drives ratings. spreading the message that someone else is to blame drives ratings. allowing the mindless masses to believe that they are abused and deserve something better drives ratings. when the media spread the news that a black man had been killed by racist cops long before anything more than death and police involvement were confirmed, the stage was set for this fiasco. the media, far more than any elected representative, sets the tone for what happens in our society and they know it. drama sells. the notion that we are all in danger keeps the viewers waiting for the next shoe to drop. riots keep the viewers on the edge or their seats and, more importantly, tuned in for further developments. feeding the frenzy is in the best interests of an industry that thrives on chaos.

    People that come out to demonstrations aren't normally in the Corona-vulnerable demographics. They're usually asymptomatic if they catch it at all. They might cause an uptick in positives if there is a lot of testing but I doubt even that.

    The RW plague advocates will, of course, seize upon this as proof positive that the entire corona plague was an anti-Trump hoax and the thousands dead were all actors hired by George Soros.

    Well we know that in Brazil, a country that ignored the virus, they have gone from 10,000 cases a day to 30,000 cases a day
    in just one month (as of yesterday, the 5th of June).

    By the way, Brown University just put out a study showing that if you're a male, and balding, you have about a 40% higher risk
    of getting a severe case of Covid. Something to consider.

    You are under the mistaken notion that 'the left' is only one mind.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but we are not guppies.

    Yes, for example, Governor X says "shelter - in - place' is the rule.

    That doesn't mean "stay at home at all times no matter what".

    It means 'as much as you reasonably can'.

    So, you can leave your house as you deem it appropriate. Not everyone has the same mind and some people are not going to wear masks.

    but, let's observe some right wing groups and compare which groups, right versus left, are wearing more masks and are therefore more concerned about public safety. I'll bet the left will reveal more people wearing masks.

    Your OP is simplistic.

    I'd say it would be more than we would have otherwise had, but we don't know what we would have had. Even these young people will come into contact with vulnerable people. But Summer approaches. Cold and flu decline in this season so I think COVID will too.
    But States are opening up so, there will be some increase relative to what there would be otherwise.
    So, there will be an increase but it will be hard to tell.

    I say probably not. Because the Media is so bias I think their info they put out portrays everything at the worst for the purpose of overturning the 20 16 election. I say probably because there is so much proven disinformation that if one does not do their own "studies".....it is impossible to determine.
