Why is it ok to mob the streets protesting shoulder to shoulder, but not to have a dinner party? Absolutely ridiculous. I haven't had a party, but after seeing all the protesters and the support they've received, I'm tempted. Why not?

It is a little rich to be haranguing “the rest of the country” for their carelessness when we and other cities had tens of thousands of people jammed packed together for days on end.

Let’s not pretend it is only the “bumpkins” in Arkansas who are ignoring Covid risks.

+1. I watched some of the Floyd funeral. Indoors at the church where some people were maskless and lots of hugging. 1000’s of people.
The start of many of the COVID wildfire in the black community was, wait for it- funerals and churches!!

That was OK, because it was for the "right" cause. Isn't it nice that our liberal masters can tell us which gatherings are OK and which aren't?

Has making things up out of thin air some you can agree with yourself always been a Right-wing "debate" technique, or is it a newer thing?

DP. How on earth can you dispute what the PPs are saying? We all saw it with our own eyes. Don't try and gaslight us (to use a favorite liberal catchphrase). It's apparently ok for certain people to gather together but not others. This is beyond absurd.

Yep. Funny how no one will acknowledge this.

It is deadly if you catch it in a non profit pool, a playground, or in a school.

You want international support for a dinner party?

Oh, PP. I'm sorry you're so incredibly dense.

Have your dinner party. Maybe the changes coming will seem less threatening when you entertain your fellow Klansmen over some boxed wine.

If you like your distance you can keep your distance as I am.

Do you not understand the difference between being indoors and outdoors??? I think we are learning that outdoor transmission is less likely, but large gatherings indoors are risking.

So you believe schools should remain closed but protests are okay?

NP here. I would refer to the earlier question about understanding the difference between indoors and outdoors. You understand that school takes place indoors, right?

Why do so many people on this board assume that all the people who object to reopening everything and pretending this isn't happening were out at the protests? There are a lot of us who avoided the protests for the same reasons we avoid dinner parties.

https://www.sacbee.com/news/coronavirus/article243376046.html

“We have found as businesses begin to open up, for some people there was a sense that things are OK now, and they began having gatherings in the home and birthday parties,” Kasirye said. “That is most of the exposure. They are multi-generational. They have people with higher risk.

“You have people together for an extended period of time” not observing six-foot social distancing, and often not wearing face coverings,” she said.

The increase in Sacramento, officials said, is attributed to a small cluster of activities, including two large birthday parties held in private homes, one funeral and a church gathering. Church gatherings, with reduced attendance, are now allowed. But parties inside houses are not yet permitted under state and local stay-at-home orders.

But can’t the same be said of large protests?

We get it; you hated the protests.
