Anyone worried if Corona virus keeps spreading the gyms will shut down?

I was just watching spongebob with my daughter on Nickelodeon. A commercial from blm came on encouraging protesting.

Who pays for that? I don’t know how organized they are, but how are they funded? I’ve heard George Soros but I don’t know details of how that works.

Well, despite him hating every minute of what has been happened for months, I think we can all agree that Trump has been rather diplomatic with his response thus far. It’s definitely a sensitive scenario for him to intervene when racial agendas are in the mix, but obviously we have far exceeded a breaking point.

My feeling is that people will be deterred now that they know they will be held accountable for their actions. Either way, I would rather see us stand up for the security of our country and see more backlash as opposed to doing nothing at all. We shall see!

Well, I will embrace one step in the right direction at this point. If we can at least downgrade one national crisis, maybe we can get ourselves back to making our best efforts to handle our health crisis. Masks would have been ideal for sure, but I will take what I can get.

Ummm, so now it’s being called a white supremacist event. Were people of color banned from attending? I think not. Pathetic...

What do you mean “you will take what you can get.” There was hardly any masks or social distancing. COVID has already killed 120,000+ people in the US. That’s 6x more deaths than the total number of homicides in the US in all of 2019. Comparing tearing down statues to COVID as a natural emergency is really dumb. We’ve had single days where more people died from COVID in the US than people were killed in 9/11. This isn’t some trivial matter, and not only is Trump NOT helping, he’s actively hurting the issue by being so intentionally lax about masks and social distancing at his rallies/events. And up until recently, wasn’t Pence telling people not to wear masks around him in conferences? It’s asinine.

 

[muscleupcrohn]

I find it interesting that all the media sites I’ve seen are condemning his speech and gathering because of COVID (and of course because, you know, racism), but they had nothing but positive things to say about the protests. Lemmings will be lemmings.

Because the President of them US shouldn’t be held to higher standards than a bunch of random protestors? Are you really saying he shouldn’t have tried to enforce masks and/or social distancing?

Wait, didn’t the NYPD reduced budget literally just get voted on? Like a few days ago? I’m not saying I at all agree with that decision, but it hasn’t actually taken effect yet, so it can’t possibly be the cause of increased shootings in NYC this year.

Also, the couple with the guns on their property displayed a fundamental lack of proper firearm safety. The lady had her finger on the trigger the entire time, pointing it all over the place. She’s lucky she didn’t accidentally shoot her husband in the head:

All groups should be practicing social distancing and wearing masks. I don’t care if your lefty, righty, or amby. Just do the right thing for your fellow man. But major news sources that literally just heralded all the protests without mentioning anything about masks or social distancing should also be above reproach. They could at least attempt to hide their hypocrisy
And anyone who’s actually using critical thinking skills knows the truth about all this current anti-racism/anti-cop noise. Again, I point out medical doctors killing a lot more than 13 unarmed black people per year. And doctors make 2-3 times as much money and work a fraction of the hours. Protest them.

Oh, don’t get me wrong ALL news on BOTH sides are MASSIVE hypocrites.

Also, your example of doctors killing black people, is that through negligence or malice? Because people are mad about police malice, not “just” negligence. Neither is good, of course, and dead is dead, but surely you can admit that when officers act maliciously, the departments shouldn’t try to cover it up. Hell, even in the protests in response to one police killing out of malice, we’ve seen some “overly enthusiastic” cops way to eager with “less lethal” weapons.

And are you really suggesting to protest doctors in the middle of a literal pandemic? Lol, good one buddy.

Wrong. Grand master Fauci said they don’t work, then next they do, then next they aren’t needed in protests because the smart virus doesn’t target protestors. And remember, it is not spread through human to human transmission because almighty WHO said so.

But, feel free to wear yours. I encourage it. Enjoy your autoerotic asphyxiation.

Hey, moron, Fauci actually said protests were risky:

"When you get congregations like we saw with the demonstrations," he continued, "that's taking a risk.”

Dr. Fauci voices concerns about coronavirus spreading amid nationwide protests

Dr. Anthony Fauci talks to ABC's "Good Morning America" about concerns over the virus spreading at protests and whether states and cities are reopening too fast.

www.google.com

"You know, it's a danger to the people who are trying to control the demonstration," he said of the recent political protests. "And it's a danger to the people who are demonstrating. So at the end of the day, it is a risky procedure."

Fauci tells ABC's 'Powerhouse Politics' that attending rallies, protests is 'risky'

Dr. Anthony Fauci tells ABC's Jonathan Karl on “Powerhouse Politics” that attending rallies, protests is "risky."

www.google.com

And he said if you must go out and protest, you SHOULD wear a mask.

"If you're going to be in a situation where -- beyond your control there's a lot of people around you -- make sure you wear a mask," he said.

It’s like you don’t bother to actually check the s**t that spills from your brain to your keyboard...

Not any of the years when the Crusades prevented what Jesus stood for, masquerading religion as a means to gain more power and land? Ok...

Asphyxiation - “condition of deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from abnormal breathing. An example of asphyxia is choking. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which affects primarily the tissues and organs.”

You genuinely think thats happening from wearing 3 pieces of clothe sewn together, a surgical mask, or an N-95 mask over your mouth and nose? Come on bro...

Lets play a game and say youre correct that it was engineered & released from a “level 4” lab (which id argue it probably would be classified as a BSL-2 or 3 agent & thus wouldn’t be in a BSL-4 lab so youre already showing a lack of fundamental understanding of what youre talking about). Does that make it any less of a public health concern? Why dont we contain the fuggin disease first and then deal with where it came from later?

He’s an idiot. Surgeons can wear masks for hours on end day in and day out, and a lot of them are old and sedentary. But someone on a fitness forum can’t manage to wear one for half an hour to go grocery shopping without literally asphyxiating. That checks out...

I work as a labourer on a building site and can sometimes be doing hard physical work for an hour or more wearing a mask, how these housewives on youtube can be in the store arguing they can't wear a mask for "medical reasons" i will never understand, especially since they can breathe well enough to stand there screaming the whole store down about their rights

Exactly. Also, if you genuinely can’t wear a mask for medical reasons, stores will have alternate options in compliance with ADA, such as online ordering and curbside pickup. You are not entitled to walk around the store with no mask. The business has to provide a reasonable alternative, you don’t get to pick whatever you want to do.

Why didn’t we contain it first? Because it was an agenda. WHO/China say “everything is fine”, pelosi says “go to Chinatown or you’re a racist” (this is all MONTHS after “first” case), Fauci says “no masks needed”. Trump shuts down borders and is a “racist”.
I’d say we all lack fundamental understanding. And decency?! That’s out the falling window. Everything is an ipse dixit and everything hearsay in this age of information.

Was it stupid as hell? Yeah. Did it cost lives? Also yes. Does that mean that we ignore everything he ever says after? No.

Also, he’s not the only one stressing the value of masks today, pretty much every country in the world is.

People who avoided Chinese restaurants in America for fear of contracting COVID are sort of silly. Most Chinese restaurant owners haven’t been to China in years, if ever lol. But people did criticize Trump trying to restrict travel from China, which was a good move on his part. Both polar extremes in politics are idiots.

But all we can do TODAY is go on what we have, and Trump is doing a bad job of not encouraging people to distance and wear masks.

But, just in case someone else doesn’t, negligence vs malice...lots of deaths by doctors because they don’t care about black people vs. a few deaths by angry racist cops? Obviously one is sexier than the other. On the other hand, the way I just phrased that...I better shut up before that catches on too and it will be the next protest...
