I mostly agree with you. On the topic specifically of whether protests over the summer were a significant factor in spreading the virus, I haven’t seen evidence that’s true. This article is from August so practically ancient history now, but it describes an analysis concluding the protests weren’t a major factor. If there is evidence to the contrary I would love to see it.

- blhack 6y agoIf that's true, then why don't we start outdoor music festivals back up? A good portion of my friends all lost their jobs because they work in event production. If that data is true, then they should go back to work tomorrow.
