It's a military installation and is prepared for everything.

Your assumption makes light of the capabilities of that compound.

You know nothing about Walter Reed if you think this was even a minor inconvenience to them.

Fair enough, but I'm sure he is probably safer in the White House. Maybe not. I will defer to your experience with the facility.

George FLoyd was killed on May 25th. Cases in Minnesota actually declined through the month of June.

There were very large protests in NYC. Cases did not increase and actually decreased through June.

DC was another epicenter of protests. Cases went down through June.

It must really suck when there is evidence to disprove your preconceived notions.

Is your argument that something contributes to the spread of COVID only if case counts in a state rise for the month said something happens?

Are you going to ignore the states where protests coincided with spikes in infection rates? What about the protests in Houston, LA, Miami etc? Is that evidence that BLM protests spread the virus profusely?

You're going to argue about Florida and Houston who basically said "screw it" and opened everything?

SOrry bro, good try!

OK, so here's Alvarez09's method of figuring out whether or not protests spread COVID-19.

First, check the number of cases for that state for the month following the protests. If the cases are down, protests don't spread the virus, all is good. If the cases are up, look for additional reasons why cases might be up. Those reasons are why cases are up. Again, protests don't spread the virus.

Amazing stuff.

So when you pick the areas, the only factors are protests:statewide-cases. When someone brings up other areas, all of a sudden plenty of other factors come into play.

People in this thread are woefully incompetent when it comes to using valid statistics.

If you want to be upset that a bunch of people shouldn't be together, then you should be upset about protests. Not say, "But some were wearing masks!"

You noticed, once we were told that social distancing was a must BESIDES protests, that's when everyone knew all of this was pointless.

Jgil316 · 10-05-2020, 07:55 PM

Trump does not look good - he is/was gasping for air while standing without the mask.

Just came here to say this. He looked awful and looked like he was eally struggling when he took off the mask.

He is also likely hopped up on a ton of steroids right now to make him feel better.

Are you going to start drawing equivalents between protesting racial injustice and you not being allowed to go to a NASCAR race or restaurant? Please go there.

And again, it didn't spread it. I was really worried it would, but it didn't.

Well, this is the worst virus in the history of the planet. He looked good considering he should be dead right now according to the media types.

I'll go there. You're saying that it's okay to endanger all of the lives you've been so worried about today as long as you're together for social justice?

Trump is a VIP - and no other person in the USA would have the opportunity to get access to the the drugs he has been given at the same time.

The steroid he was given (along with Remdesivir) is given to patients with Covid Pneumonia

We know "why" Trump told the Dr's to discharge him today - he has to continue to portray a fake persona of strength and leadership.

CNN's Chris Cuomo is losing it and needs a seven second delay.

Trump doesn’t look quite the same without makeup on.

This is the same guy who got COVID, went to a party afterwards, got into a fight with a guy while having COVID and pretending to never have left his basement for two weeks right?

That Cuomo? Or the Cuomo who ordered nursing home patiens w/ COVID back into the home ... then said this week "That never happened".
