The #SARS-CoV-2 virus, the #coronavirus that causes #COVID-19, blocks one arm of the body's anti-virus defenses, while stimulating the other. This unique behavior allows unhindered replication while causing inflamation.

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.

I was in an auto repair shop today. I was the only person in the building that was wearing a face mask. If one or two employees were mask free, I'd know it was their choice. But when 100% of employees are mask free, I suspect it was a management choice to "avoid scaring customers, no matter how many employees get sick as a result".

BBC: children getting rare Kawasaki like disease from #coronavirus https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51648557 [www bbc com]
This is appearing widely, but I still see people saying "children are not affected by this disease, so send them back to school".
It still seems to be rare, but so is Reye's syndrome, the reason your doctor tells you not to give kids ASA / aspirin before age 13. As most nations still have at least a tenfold increase in cumulative exposure / infections before this disease slows down on its own, even rare symptoms are going to be frequent.
