Its bizarre to maintain a pretend concern about Covid after these massive protests. No, its too dangerous to maintain a minimally viable small business, but by all means, crowd the streets. Yes, you'll go to jail if you attempt to attend church or the park with those not in your household. Its weird how they are ranking aspects of 1A.
Shrugging at thousands of people congregating to protest makes me wonder why we can't just fire back up the sports leagues.

Masks strongly suggested when not imbibing and boomers prohibited? (For their sake, high risk group)

Indoor Arenas might be trickier. We'll have to relocate the hockey teams to somewhere with permafrost.

Take the NBA to the street. Build out some grandstands. Easy peasy.

"Shrugging" is a massive over-simplification of our Governor's response. He and his Director of Public Health spoke at length about the risks undertaken by the protesters, how they vary from the risks of an arena crowd and how they don't, howthey should be protecting themselves, and the importance of protecting the first amendment rights of US citizens.

It's probably no coincidence that the Venn diagram of people complaining about the response to these protests and the people standing behind the Re-Open NC protests is very nearly a circle.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

A majority of protesters are wearing masks, as well. If you can get basketball players to wear masks while playing then maybe?!

Also, businesses are beginning to open up. So, just chill till the next episode

God, I would love to have someone stitch together a split screen of Trump talking and the protesters getting nailed with pepper balls with matched up time codes. It'd be great to see them getting blasted at exactly the moment he was calling himself an ally to all peaceful protesters.

I'm still really worried about what's going to happen in the next few weeks. The protests are outside, and the weather is warmer, which are both things they've speculated could make the virus harder to transmit. And having seen one of the massive NYC marches firsthand for a brief period, it seemed like the overwhelming majority of people were wearing masks.

So while it's definitely different and likely better than something like a convention in an arena, I still wouldn't be surprised if there's an uptick in the next few weeks. Or it could be longer than that, as it may get worse when protesters bring it back to individuals they may be living with.

It's pretty ridiculous to ascribe responsible social distancing and hygiene standards to thousands of people running around the streets at midnight getting gassed. They weighed the risk and decided it was more important to take a stand. We don't have to do mental gymnastics to pretend a lot of people aren't going to get sick from it just because it would make us feel good.

I still think the most absurd part about him is the unwillingness to let anything go by, no matter how ridiculous doubling down sounds.
