Nothing in there disputed what I said which is you can assemble in the streets and parks and beaches but not in closed areas violating orders.Goodness, but you're an idiot.Beaches are open. Parks are open. Streets are open. Protest there. You can’t protest in a gym or in a movie theater... cuz they’re closed dummy.Can you explain why Democrat mayors' and governors' restrictions of gatherings always excludes protests?You can hold outdoor service. Go ahead.My point is that the right ignored and mocked coronavirus and it turned into a pandemic.
Curious, you act as if the virus is intelligent, that it can be commanded to act based on the behavior of people you disagree with.
Right.
The #CoronaHoax2020 virus is so sophisticated that it knows to spread like crazy at church services, or places of productive employment; but it doesn't spread at #BlackLiesMatter riots.
Trick question. I know you can't offer an explanation.
Judge Rules New York May Not Enforce Double-Standard Restrictions On Religious Gatherings
At the end of May, Cuomo issued another executive order that allowed businesses on a list of “Phase Two” non-essential businesses to open, including retail shops, hair salons, professional services, real estate offices, car dealerships, and information technology companies. These businesses were welcome to operate at 50 percent capacity, according to guidance from the governor’s office.Another week passed before Cuomo addressed houses of worship. On June 6, he permitted religious gatherings under Phase Two, but restricted them to 25 percent capacity, half that of stores and barbershops.At the same time, Cuomo and de Blasio have encouraged the mass protests sweeping New York in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Answering a question about whether protests should be discouraged, Cuomo said, “No, I think you can protest…you can do many things now as long as you’re smart about it.” A few minutes later, he thanked protesters for their actions.De Blasio went further, even speaking at a George Floyd protest without a mask. When asked about the plight of religious congregants who have been banned from gathering, he insisted “that is not the same question.”Protests vs. other group gatherings: Beshear says 'we all have our part to do'
FRANKFORT, Ky. —Some in Kentucky have questioned why leaders allow protests to continue while restrictions are in place on large gatherings due to COVID-19.Gov. Andy Beshear was asked that question during his briefing Monday, ultimately saying that he's calling on people to "do the right thing."The governor acknowledged that protests inherently draw larger crowds than what the state is currently allowing under its COVID-19 restrictions.Beshear didn't give a straight answer, but said that many of the people participating in the protests are wearing masks and spreading out.Even Fauci refuses to condemn gatherings of protesters.
Jim Jordan tries and fails to get Fauci to say protesters should be arrested for gathering during pandemic
Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appeared before Congress on Friday for a hearing on the federal government's coronavirus response. That's where Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who's been skeptical of restrictions meant to stem the virus' spread, tried to get Fauci to distinguish between protests against racism in the U.S. and bans on businesses reopening amid the pandemic.Because science indicates crowds exacerbate the spread of coronavirus, Jordan asked Fauci on Friday if the government "should limit the protests." "I'm not in a position to determine what the government should do in a forceful way," Fauci responded. So Jordan kept pressing: "The government is stopping people from going to church," claiming that's something "the five liberals" on the Supreme Court had decided. But Fauci continued holding out, saying he does not "judge one crowd versus another crowd" and would not "opine on who should get arrested or not. That's not my position."Jordan then went so far as to claim Fauci had said "protests increase the spread" of coronavirus. "I said crowds, I didn't say specifically, I didn't say protests or anything, " Fauci firmly responded. "You're putting words in my mouth," Fauci continued before saying he had no data showing the nationwide protests had spread the virus.
