So would you be willing to contend that these "protests" did not coincide with massive amounts of looting, burning, assault, murder, arson, etc.? Would you be willing to make the case here and now that none of "peaceful protestors" engaged in violence, looting, arson and rioting?
Yes, there was a lot of looting. Yes, there were peaceful protests. I wasn't there. I don't know who did what. But I did see both groups. I know the ones who got attacked by the military in DC were peaceful.

For sure, wearing the masks and all that nonsense gives people a false sense of safety and it gives them a sense of self righteousness. That they are the good, moral, smart people, who are saving the world by wearing a mask or by going to a protest. It's what you might expect from those long on emotions and short on intelligence.

Now that said, I'm not opposed to wearing a mask, I wear one literally every day that I work and for the longest time I wore one when I went out. I still got COVID-19. Thankfully it's not ebola or any kind of legitimately deadly virus.

Oh yes we will.

We can say we lived it!

Here's what we saw!

Covid 19 is a racist politically motivated and scientific disease that can infect 300,000 people going to a Trump Rally but spare a bunch of "peacefully" protesting, looting, arsonists and rioters and cop-killing punks who go destroy and cough on each other for weeks and weeks!



Happy Voting!

Apparently the people around you did not wear masks?

More than 100,000 people and their families would disagree with you on its legitimacy.

And yet going to the Michigan State house with weapons of war and dressed to fight wasn't. GMAFB. Talk about hypocrisy.

since the 7 day peak seems to have been 21 days ago at ~23, I'd like you to connect me with someone at IHME for a public wager. I'll give them great odds.

Do you have a link, estimates in the middle of a pandemic are usually an under count.
This needs to travel its course but you are ignoring the stress on the health care system for people that recovered and many who sustained long term damage. Although its mostly above 60 many healthy people also had issues although not fatal. A rather large number of people recovered at home but were out weeks.


This disease spreads so easily and can quickly overwhelm a health care system even putting aside fatalities.
