That includes protests! Correct?

humm another deep thinker and well educated person among those that know the real story.

Focusing on one area only ?
 
How about all the protest not social distancing. It’s a problem everywhere. You can’t complain unless you include all areas.

Using this rational, then all pools, golf, squares, restaurants, churches etc. and anywhere people gather, should also not be allowed. What really is needed is a dose of common sense.

+1

I guess people in Tulsa would think that there was some kind of magic pixie dust in the arena if they didn't see stickers. Of course, never mind that they had to sign a release that they wouldn't hold the campaign liable were they to contract the virus. Yeah, no one would have made a connection to risk doing that. They received masks, hand sanitizer and got temperature checks upon arrival.

Here's a guy sitting in the upper deck at the rally. Take a look at the spacing between seats - even with an empty seat next to him. There's no way that's anywhere near 6' of distance between every other seat.

Look, I wouldn't go to a rally like this now, myself. And no, I don't think it's wise nor prudent to hold an indoor rally right now. People made their choices. And obviously, notwithstanding some digital hacking, many people opted not to go.

I also wouldn't be marching around with thousands of other individuals during this time, either. But hey - we all know that's more important, so a pass is given -particularly in the media. Cue the "but they're outside!" mantras. Well, if that's the prevailing point of view, then to be consistent people must necessarily agree that outside political rallies are fine, too.

Please, no more protest.
 
All gatherings need to stop NOW. We are killing our own people. For God sakes the only way you as an individual are going to make any change at all is to get yourself registered to vote in November. Change out all of the leaders who have fought against common sense rulings. The Constitution was NOT written by our forefathers to cover mass killings. It was however written to let its' citizens protect themselves and their families from danger. Danger my folks is here. It is your responsibility to wear the mask so if YOU have the virus you don't give it to someone else. I would love to grab some of these wise mouth people and have them bring their parents, grandparents, aunt, uncles and close friends into a room. Then the unmasked person would be told that they had the virus. At that point that person would need to decide which one of their relatives or good friend they want to give the virus to because there is a very good chance that relative will die from it or get so deathly ill they wished they had died. You may be the next mass killer in our state. PS: I have a friend who died from this virus recently and he died all alone and never heard or saw his family and friends again. How awful is that?

Well, it's called "survival of the fittest". Those who don't have enough grey matter to adhere to the recommendation regarding social distancing will eventually be thinned from the herd, leaving a better life for those with enough common sense to follow the guidance.
Let them do as they please, and good riddance. Thank you Mr. Darwin.

You are so correct. All of these riots and marches here in the central part of Florida (especially TV) have really done us in. I think that the marches and burning of buildings last night was the worst here yet. How about our government not doing their job and protecting its' people. Cover your darn mouth because you may be a mass killer in disguise.

Careyjan 06-28-2020 07:36 AM

And no protests should be allowed during a pandemic!

boobear51751 06-28-2020 07:38 AM

Distance?
 
Viruses don't know distance. It knows how to kill. Work in the science field and learn the facts before you open up your mouth. Should any of you have the virus please by all means keep it in your family and leave the rest of us alone. You decide which of you family member will contract the virus from YOU and you must tell them to their face you are looking to pass it on to them. Smile, you just took down your mother. Are you happy now?

No protest should be held during a pandemic either. To think a protestor can not get the virus but a rally goer can is about as biased as one can get.

billethkid 06-28-2020 08:15 AM

I wonder if it is a clue that the latest spike in the numbers is from the younger crowd.

Hmmmmnnnn.....beaches/protests.....younger people.....no masks....no social distancing.....younger people.....

Maybe when enough of them bring it home to their Mom or Dad or Grand parents they might wake up.......nah......that obviously does not matter to the radicals.

Hey look! There’s seat in the nose bleed section, let’s sit there!

Sorry, but common sense doesn't exist. If it did, we would all be on the same page on this issue and all others as well.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Everyone has common sense. The problem is so few use it that we are headed for another lock down, or partial one. Bars are already being hit. Those who won’t wear masks or social distance (the ones who are causing it) will be the loudest complainers about it too. Go figure.
