Doesn’t change peoples personal freedoms were being suppressed people were frowned upon for continuing their livelihoods. Events that happened once in people’s lives were cancelled and they’ll never get it back. If the virus was so deadly why was it okay for people to riot in mass in the name of George Floyd
I never condoned any sort of violence or destruction of property, so that’s a weird response. COVID may have spread at the protests but between most people being masked and the fact stuff was outside, it wasn’t a superspreader like having a house party or sitting in a classroom. There’s plenty of research showing that it spreads far more when there’s no air circulation
I mean we can have a nuanced view of this. I personally think the government went a bit too far on some of the restrictions given what we knew about how Covid spread. How combinations of being outdoors, having good air flow/filtration indoors, covering your nose and mouth, or spreading out basically reduced the risk of transmission to 0. I’m sure people contracted covid at those protests but I also doubt it was that many
