On a side note... if new Covid cases don't jump up big time the next 2 weeks in all the cities rioting... Then Governors everywhere are going to have a hard time saying people can't gather in Amusement & Ball Parks, and large outdoor Event gatherings in general. Especially if people standing elbow to elbow rioting, & throwing water & beer that they have been drinking on everyone else in the area.... doesn't spread Covid.
So what behavior exactly in your eyes spread COVID then pre rioting?
Are you thusly implying, if there is no outbreak in two weeks, COVID has flown the coop?
Did you toss that one out there just to be contrary???
The "POWERS THAT BE" told us a million times that: "IF YOU DON"T FOLLOW SOCIAL DISTANCING, YOU WILL GET COVID" Well "The "Rioters" sure as hell are NOT following Social Distancing guidelines in any shape or form. Other than the usual mask wearing to hide their identity... but half of them weren't even doing that. Plus drinking from a water bottle, & then deciding to "toss the remaining water at cops"... isn't exactly germ free activity.
So yes.... if there is not a big jump in those area's, then one of 3 things is likely occurring. 1) Covid doesn't spread the way we've been told, and they destroyed the economy for nothing. 2) Covid is still out there, but has mutated into something that doesn't spread as easily, or is less deadly now. 3) Covid doesn't effect young people period... and they should have been at work & in school the whole time.
The riots have been without a doubt the LARGEST & densest gathering of people in each of those cities, since covid began. You would have to be a complete idiot not to look at it as a good "real time" test of the Social Distancing Guidelines theory. And whether or not it still applies in warm weather.
And for those that want to toss beach & boardwalk openings out there as equivalents... I have not seen a single pic of a beach or boardwalk with people standing shoulder to shoulder & belly to butt 100 people deep.
Although any Home Depot & Lowes probably have similar distancing to the looters inside the Target. At least looters carrying a 65" TV out the door have to maintain 3' of distance while dragging it home.
