The Safest Activity Is Protesting (Of Course)
Virus numbers are rising.
Close those restaurants! Down with the bars! Call the cops if big wedding is happening. Smile for CNN if you're at the beach. Be prepared to be lectured and even ridiculed. If only you would've marched with a bunch of others really close, screaming at cops at the top of your lungs. If only you would've torn down a statue sending dust up in the air and don't forget those fires, they're always lots of fun too. Thank goodness there's a safe activity for everyone to enjoy.
Sarcasm people, sarcasm.
Let me repeat this for the millionth time- here's why we have an increase in numbers. You've had a bunch of people doing whatever they want with no consequences thereby ticking off those who were actually being cautious and trying to do the right thing. When doctors have literally said, "Go out and march for social justice,' and when you see various governors going hand in hand with a bunch of people for a 5 second tv clip to make themselves look good- credibility disappears. Optics matter. You lose the population. You lose people's attention. You can't have a select group doing whatever they want and then whine when people decide to hit the beach for the 4th of July. It doesn't work AND PEOPLE WILL BLOW YOU OFF.
The media doesn't help this and speaking of the media, I love how they act like that the protests have had an air of holy protection around them. The media, thanks to Twitter, is too lazy to actually come out and INVESTIGATE the fact that yeah, the protests have not helped this, neither has the looting or the overall rioting. Until the media grows a spine and owns up to their mistake- we are, unfortunately, going to see the numbers go up.
