kilroy69 993 Posted June 2, 2020 Anyone think these protests are going to lead to a second wave of covid 19? I mean just a month or 2 ago the super spreader events were funerals and small gatherings. Now suddenly we have 100k people in the streets in different locations. Sweating on each other. Running around breathing heavy. Even if they are wearing masks that still can only help so much because paper masks are not meant to be worn and protested/rioted in. When I look a the protests I see mass super spreader events.

But the idea that just a few months ago we shut the economy down and was not allowing gatherings of any outside family and now its ok to be side by side within inches of each other?

Hawkeye21 1,848 Posted June 2, 2020 I would think there would some kind of spike but nothing too crazy. From what I've been told, people need to be within 6 feet of a contagious person for more than 15 minutes to really be concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdub100 3,366 Posted June 2, 2020 No. Turns out COVID19 does not spread as easily as previously thought. You need prolonged exposure to get infected in most cases. And that's from the CDC so take it for what it's worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted June 2, 2020 If it leads to a second wave, the media and democrats will try to blame it on Trump, saying his tough talk made them riot more than they would have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gladiators 1,900 Posted June 2, 2020 I doubt it. I bet most of the people protesting/rioting weren't following social distancing guidelines to begin with. Many probably have unknowingly already had it too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But once that curve was flattened they should have begun easing up and moving towards reopening immediately. And the areas that were not part of the curve to begin with should have been opened sooner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It varies from person to person, just like most viruses. I know some were over it quick with just fatigue, headache and fever. I know another person was very ill but he also has other health issues that made it worse. As long as you're in good health it shouldn't be all that bad. It's just a matter of not spreading it to those who are not in as good of health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife and I were joking (kinda) about this magical 6 ft number. We've probably invested billions of dollars in infrastructure to adapt places to this spacing. It would be funny (kinda, not really) if Fauci or some other doc came out and said "ya know... 7 ft would be better!" This would never happen of course because the powers that be know that the new number is made up as well, and they would get eviscerated if we had to redo all of the stickers on the floors.

I completely agree that Trump is not responsible for everything that happens, even though that goes against what Trump said about being President, but, what is he actually responsible for then? It seems he's only responsible for whatever anyone finds to fit their agenda. Stock market goes up - Reps credit Trump Stock market goes down - Dems blame Trump Job numbers up - Reps credit Trump Job numbers down - Dems blame Trump COVID - Reps blame Dem leadership and Dems blame Trump No matter what, it's the other party's fault. Everyone sucks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
