We're hearing reports that the protests are NOT spreading the virus, but of course the blatantly biased MSM will crap their pants when Trump has a rally (and by the way I'm completely against the indoor events) but never even mention Covid 19 when they are proudly showing us all of their little rioters and violent criminals all yelling and sweating one upon another. Look at this picture that was taken on June 2nd, and then tell me with a straight face the virus will not be spread by this behavior.

Essence lay down, her back pressed into the asphalt of the Burnside Bridge.
As a Black woman, Essence grew up facing racism. She has been protesting her whole life. The first protest she remembers was about 32 years ago and she can’t count how many she has participated in since then. She’s 36 now.
Essence, who preferred not to give The Oregonian/OregonLive her last name, felt the weight of all of it as she lay amidst a crowd of thousands of people. Sadness rushed in. Minutes felt like hours. She felt restricted. She audibly wept and let the tears fall. Her sister squeezed her right hand. Her sadness melted into grief. She grieved for being Black in America. She grieved for those lynched, for all the Black lives lost, for the families separated, for her ancestors who were taken from Africa.

"It was enraging and inspiring all at once," said Essence, who was one of the thousands of protesters who laid down on the bridge that day.
