The only one I think shows clear protest effects is King County, WA.
This is old and SDI is still relatively high, but it shows more of a rise than expected which would appear to be a cluster in a place where there were extended and large protests likely with repeat visitors (no real evidence of this, just a guess). My guess is this represents maybe half at most of the new case numbers for the last week measured.
I don’t have anything to say that I don’t think would come across as passive aggressive, and I really wouldn’t mean for it to be. Let’s be friends 
I took this video when I was leaving La Jolla at noon today. Beaches are gonna be packed tomorrow and the waves are gonna be huge. I feel bad for all the lifeguards who are going to get coronavirus rescuing people tomorrow.
Jesus fuck that’s horrifying
Anyone else in Texas get the “masks are now mandatory” notification on their phone today?
On the other hand, there were like 40 people at my apartment pool having a party, no masks or distancing at all. Also some of my cousins decided to go from Texas to Florida for the 4th, which is just mind blowing.
I always knew they’d blame the protests but I didn’t even think about the other shoe that’ll drop. “It’s all the protesters fault, THUS it’s safe to stay open/reopen as long as they don’t do that again.”
No I didn’t get it on my phone, but mayor’s office posted on FB and all stores I went to today had the mandate order posted.
Watch out! It sounds like there is a murder hornet in the car with you!
I mean the protests certainly couldn’t have helped. I don’t think it’s un-American or makes you a racist to think that - frankly those folks made a tough call to forego some of their personal safety for a cause, and I’m glad they did.
It does make you scummy to use them to justify or equate them to a Hamptons 4th of July bbq, but of course some people contracted COVID-19 in mass protests.
Surely some of them caught it, but all the cities that were still closed for business did not see spikes. The spikes were from OFB.
That’s nothing on the east coast. Traffic is often stopped for miles heading to the beach. Still bad though.
Ummmm
The oxford vaccine is already in phase 3
Protesters were outside and wearing masks from most of what I saw.
Compared with maskless people at offices, house parties, and stores, I doubt protests are driving this surge.
Of course the naked hypocrisy in full, unabashed display does nothing to stop the spread of the constant self-owning by the lunatic right wing covidiot death cult.
This is, unfortunately, what we are going to have to live with… so in a way Trump is right, there.
I mean the logistics of getting the vaccine out. The US is testing 5 million a month. It would take over 5 years to test everyone. How are we ramping this up to vaccinate everyone in 3 months?
Does it really take that long to stick a needle in someone’s arm?
I get a flu shot covered by insurance every year. With the paperwork, it takes an hour with no one on line.
I mean maybe I’m being an idiot. But I just don’t see a scenario where this all happens in a minute.
If you have a vaccine center for every 100K people, you are looking at 3,500 testing centers. Even if each person takes 10 minutes, that’s 35,000 minutes. It still comes out to like a year at each center.
haha, yeah, i am thinking more of the zombie movie scenario where the national guard is giving people the vaccine in a stadium one after another.
