those health officials couldn't bring themselves to offend the protesters by pointing out that the protests were cesspools of shedding virus. even though the protests were cesspools of shedding virus.
- NationalPark 5y agoDo you have any references for that? I’ve read a few informal attempts and nobody had compelling evidence that the protests caused increased transmission. Seems unlikely since they were outdoors, which is now known to be relatively safe right?
- rStar 5y agooutdoors with a 6' halo is fine in most cases, even with an unvaccinated population. The protests were not that in many cases, but health officials refused to tell people to stop, for whatever reasons they had. I believe the reasons were personal cowardice and dereliction of duty in the face of being scared of being called racist.
- rStar 5y agoit only seems unlikely if you don't understand how covid works. covid-19 is an airborne illness that is passed through moisture between humans. humans radiate moisture when engaged in activities that increase heart rate. protest involve a lot of marching and yelling at each other, which, spread moisture through droplets, perspiration, breath etc. many protestors were mask averse, to put it mildly. so, no, not now known to be relatively safe right?
