During the Spanish Flu there was a large Liberty Bond parade scheduled in Philadelphia. Liberty Bonds were treasuries sold to raise money for WWI. All the medical experts said "do not" hold this parade. Politicians blew off the experts and held the parade and 1000s were infected.
Same deal as Trump's convention/rally IMO.
add on - the flip/flop from medical experts re: crowds and protesting is ridiculous. protest if you want but accept the fact that gathering in large crowds during a pandemic is not safe for you or others.
mask isn't for me; it's for you
Stop comparing this to the flu!
...mask wearing morons
Its not safer - dont think anyone is making that comparison but you.But 1000's cramped on streets shouting/spitting slogans and chants is different and "safer"?
What makes this any different than a parade or rally?
That is a good screen for selfishness.mask isn't for me; it's for you
difference is I care; you don't
So those freedoms/rights are not equal?Its not safer - dont think anyone is making that comparison but you.
the difference though is that people are risking their health & protesting for basic human decency vs. people risking thier health, going to see Trump spout out lies for no other purpose but to feed his own ego.
C+ maybe?The selfish person can't imagine wearing a mask so others don't get other sick.
But 1000's cramped on streets shouting/spitting slogans and chants is different and "safer"?

The mask is good for me because it reminds me to stay away from people.Masks at this stage are mostly security blankets for those on either side of it.
That is all you think these protests have been? Three weeks of virtue signaling?Some virtue signaling is more valid than others?
