> Being forced to undergo lockdown when their region saw a scant handful of cases, just because some nightmare bugman city got hit hard
And thanks to masses of protesters in close quarters and without protection, those regions are starting to see some growth in cases.
We all know that we can't keep things completely shut down for the 2-3 years minimum it will take to get complete control over the virus' spread, but if the protesters cannot even figure out how to minimize spreading #COVID-19 at their rallies, it will be a long, rough slog for us. https://nu.federati.net/url/269743
They're not making a good case that we're anywhere near ready for opening up when their behavior shows the very opposite. Show behaviors that slow the spread even without being locked in one's home and other people will see that they can trust other people to act in ways that minimize damage to their own health.

I have not insinuated people are idiots. But it is true that their behavior is a danger to themselves and others. I wish it wasn't, because I have family members whose businesses or employers are shut down, so I, too, would like to see the lockdowns end ... when people and business managers show they can get back to work without increasing the spread of #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus.
Let me say it in a different way: If the protesters want their message to be heard, assemble with space between them, wearing protective gear. Show other people that the protesters are not going to put people's lives in danger if they get their way.
It isn't about MSM. Everybody is carrying a smartphone with a camera and most people have socnet accounts, so the media cannot control the narrative unless protesters' words and behavior give them the tools they need to do so.

> you're incongruous to their interests
Nope. Wrong. You're reading your own views into my words.
If I cared not about their interests, I would not have taken the time (twice) to express how they could make their points heard. What they are doing is not working, as you said above.
