    sure they do...you let your guard down and they'll invade your body and make babies..they care like Trump cares..to the extent you bend over and submit...beyond that they don't have much attention span

    BS...there's not enough chlorine in water to kill germs/virus...otherwise, hand sanitizers would be totally unnecessary.

    ...but hey, keep spinning.

    Yeah, viruses and pandemics don't have the ability to care one way or the other. Unfortunately, people need to go outside to protest for a change in a hundreds year old oppression. People dont need to go to the bar or the club, etc.

    Totally wrong. Widely understood that the right doesn’t give two shits about science. See: Covid. See: the environment. Why are all the people against the mask Trumpers?

    Trumps OWN FUCKING COVID TEAM of scientists is saying wear a mask and social distance etc and people won’t do it. Because they are Trumpers and righties who can’t fathom science and think Gods got this.

    I'm not against masks.

    The science also says that mass protests when we were beginning to flatten the curve were a dumb fucking idea. People seem to ignore the science when it suits their agenda.

    People don't need to go outside in order to change hundreds of years of oppression?

    Yes, they do. Otherwise change won't happen

    In the middle of a pandemic we were getting a grip on, yes, they need to stay inside.

    I was ready to be on lockdown all summer, to be honest. But when you normalize breaking the rules, you really can't enforce them anymore.

    Protesting during a pandemic is never a optimal time to do so, especially when we were working to flatten the curve. But, the time to act is not always convenient. It just so happened that was when things finally hit the boiling point with a time bomb that has been waiting a long time to go off.

    No, like going to war or any other historically changing moment the time is never convenient.

    You sound like many others who are resentful because they had to stay home/on lockdown.

    i would add that the pandemic might have been the icing on cake and without it, protests may not have happened, resulting in more time spent in the dark as a nation, ignoring the inequalities that should have been fixed kong ago.

    i dont necessarily agree with the protesting during the pandemic, but i cant condemn anyone for fighting for thier rights, no matter what situation we are in. Pandemic, war, peace, none of it matters if you feel hundreds of years of oppression pushing you down.

    The pandemic was definitely a fuel source on top of hundreds of years of oppression. George Floyd was the match.

    This is 100% false. I work with 3 very liberal engineers who refuse to wear masks, they are extreme left. So your anecdotal, this is how the world is, isnt at all absolute.

    Local man who spent years chanting 'burn it all down' is upset that it all got burned down.
