Current Events > Unpopular opinion: Protests and Riots made Covid 19 Irrelevant

(+) Yeah! (+)

2 months down the drain over 1 death. Two bigger pictures and people's rage overcame the biggest picture. It'd be different if they were wearing masks and protesting at a distance not destroying communities and ultimately spreading a virus. I understand in Minneapolis outside of the rioting and lack of ppe, but seeing the rest of the country follow suit is saddening.

It truly is sad. But the police are allowed to commit hate crimes without punishment as is and it has to stop. The police forced the hand of the rioters and the police and government should be held accountable for any extra deaths caused by the coronavirus, the damage caused by the rioters and damage caused by the police and their hate crimes

You talk as if the American people were following lockdown procedures anyway

Before the protests over unjustified murders (which conservatives hated) there were protests over lockdowns (which conservatives adored)

Half the nation has been meeting up and bragging about not wearing masks and going to church

And it was getting worse, not better

Your opinion is more poorly thought out than unpopular. There is no evidence at all to suggest America would have magically started taking Coronavirus seriously if George wasn't murdered

The President literally called it a hoax and defunded WHO

Did you get enough rubles for a potato yet, Yuri?

I mean I do agree what the police are doing needs to stop. The bigger picture is still the virus and it's looking like people are putting it aside and making the last 2 months seem like for nothing.

---

Maybe in America, where you guys don't seem to be taking it seriously.

You're not wrong but the flaw in your logic is the implication that the 2 months would have been worthwhile if these dudes hadn't protested.

You're acting like The Trump Administration and the American People had a great lockdown going and these guys ruined it.

Its like blaming someone for kicking the sand because it ruined the sandcastles... after the tide has come in.

The tide came in, the kicking the sand is kinda moot now, the sandcastles were destroyed by the tide.

Yep and you can bet your ass plenty of people who lambasted any lockdown protests for spreading the virus are now supporting these protests without a shit given about social distancing.

its hilarious how dumb people are sometimes

Dumbasses already weren't caring about the pandemic.

It's going to be relevant again really soon, and that's a tragedy.

Weird how our President praised anti-social distancing protests just a few weeks ago and now wants the Secret Service to come down hard on the protesters outside his fence.

If the response to Covid is largely confined to a line like stay at home, save lives then its not like people are gonna be well educated on how to handle actually being out in public.

If the governors and mayors would enforce businesses to require a mask and distancing then this pandemic wouldn't be a problem. It's terrible something that lasts up to 2 weeks is still around over 2 months later.

Give it a week
