(July 10, 2020, 6:32 pm)LTKNT101 Black Lives Matter is owned and operated by the left. Every one of those protesters was a liberal. They got protection from following social distancing regulations because they are part of the left. The left has always received special treatment in this country. The rest of us were told to stay home, close our businesses while they were free to act like savages, looting, running around destroying buildings.

I don't even know where to begin with all of this bullshit.

(July 10, 2020, 3:23 pm)LTKNT101 No one is going to convince me that the GF protests did not play a role in spreading COVID-19.

Alright, then convince me that they did play a role.  Show me some case charts from states and countries that had large protests in the aftermath of Floyd's killing, and show me on those charts the spike in cases that would've inevitably resulted about a week later.

I'll save you some time: you can't.

Did some people get COVID from the protests? Probably. But the protests are absolutely NOT responsible for the huge spikes in cases.

(July 9, 2020, 10:36 pm)orta03 I feel a need to be a devil's advocate here.  Did we just forget about the MASSIVE protests that took place in several cities across the country a few weeks ago?  Protests with tens to hundreds of thousands of people(young people) packed tightly together with many NOT wearing masks?  It seems to me that the protests likely aided in re spreading the virus.

Others have addressed this, but I'll jump in.

George Floyd was killed in Minnesota on May 25.  The incubation period for COVID-19 is 2-14 days, with a median incubation period of 4-5 days.  So states that saw large protests would start to see a spike in cases in by the end of May and no later than mid-June.

Minnesota did not.  https://www.worldometers.info/coronaviru...minnesota/
New York did not.  https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/new-york/
DC maybe a slight spike, but not sustained. https://www.worldometers.info/coronaviru...-columbia/
Washington state maybe a slight spike, with a larger spike later that could not have been related to protests.  https://www.worldometers.info/coronaviru...ashington/

And this doesn't include the several European countries (e.g. UK, France, Germany) where equally massive protests occurred but COVID case spikes did not.  Not linking those here since I'm sure you know how to use Google.

The difference is that, contrary to your assertion, many - nearly all, really - protesters wore masks.  So, no, the protests didn't cause the spikes we've seen beginning in late June.  The spikes now are from the steady relaxing of restrictions by state governments and from right-wing snowflakes that can't be bothered to wear a fucking mask in public.

So you're saying that data cannot be manipulated to push a specific agenda? Hmm okay... Go watch a 24 min vid called "Plandemic" you'd be surprised... These "facts" from CDC and WHO are nothing more than manipulated data...

It's going to be SOOO AWESOME when the WUHAN scientists that are TALKING to the FBI as of 07/13/2020 will have to say about what the COVID is... LOL you people....

Yeah BLM was a money laundering scheme to fund Bidens campagin watch the donations where the majority of money went... These "protests" were a way to funnel money since the legit way is capped at a specific amount PER PERSON

 IF covid was contagious as you say it is or afraid it is EVERYONE in the PROTESTS should of gotten it... The total ammounts WOULD OF BEEN ENORMOUS much bigger than the previous totals... you shitting me?

Oh lets not forget that the MORTALITY rate HAS BEEN going DOWN in recent weeks... But more CASES are confirmed? Yeah okay... Know when your "HEALTH OFFICIALS" are lying to you.

The coronavirus flourishes in enclosed, indoor environments. Like offices, bars, and so forth. Protests were outside -- it doesn't spread quite as well because of the ventilation.

God damn. Some people want to believe any old fucking conspiracy. You know, you don't have to look far to find the real problems with our systems. This deep-state QAnon bullshit is pathetic.

Not gonna try to talk you out of believing that horseshit.

Claiming "data can be manipulated to suit a specific agenda" has got to be the absolutely shittiest defence of Qanon I've ever seen. Does this person genuinely believe their sources *aren't* cherry picked and extrapolated to suit an agenda? CDC data at least has sources I can cross reference with my own two eyes, as opposed to clearly biased and manipulated youtube videos? This is pretty funny.

 Based off of a long history of dealing with this sort of mentality from people on the left and right of American politics, the only information they'll accept is what confirms the conspiracy.  Evidence that counters the conspiracy is proof of cover up. 
 But the main way of doing things is just JAQing off. A lot of this starts from some troll or someone who is honestly asking questions (Just asking questions - jacking off) going anomaly hunting. Looking for bits and pieces of a story that aren't complete or simply they don't understand and then it snow balls from there. 
It's really effective, especially in the information age. It's a mentality more than anything, and some conspiracy theories go along the same path as religions. 

 As someone who's dealt with those types for awhile, I have to admit its gotten much more popular and more common. Even some of the conspiracy theorists I used to follow are quitting because "it's not fun anymore" between how common and how aggressive it is.  
 
 It also is noteworthy for how, well, dumb its gotten.  
  Much more simplified, much more contradictory, much more buzz wordy. 
 Hate to say I miss the old stuff, but there's a rich history of conspiracy theory literature going back ages.  
 This stuff lately though, you can make a pamphlet maybe? It's more undefined, which makes it easier to spread. But harder to address.  
 You can see the same basic claims and ideas being recycled for decades and centuries, like the bulk of anti-semetic conspiracy theories. But modern stuff has evolved, if you like, for the information age in such a way it can spread easier and be more difficult to address. 
 It'll be interesting to see how it affects things, in a morbid sense. It is worth noting that at the time of the Spanish flu we also saw a large crop of conspiracy theories, so there's never really anything new at least.

You people are dumb LOL

Data is and ALWAYS has been manipulated because FUNDING... Just like COVID positive hospitals GET 13k in funding PER PERSON and 30k+ per DEAD PERSON... Get the fuck outa here you people thinking that THE CDC/WHO are credible are brainwashed to think so... LOLOL

Not wanting to read the qpost? You are hopelessly lost.... People are waking up to the BULLSHIT from GOV from 3 letter agencies and you people are still reading MSM as if it's REAL news... Like are you people serious? You think that CDC cares about you? You haven't followed the money or done any research into how money is transferred INTO these big 3 LETTER agencies...

You people are so behind times... A lot of smooth brains you are.
