What is your point?
You asked what the point in wearing a mask.
there is some basis science.
Not if I can smell cologne from 5 feet away.
where you under the impression a mask would somehow block your sense of smell?
Borgia_dude:So the organizer of the rally bears no responsibility to the safety of the attendees?
The rally did not require masks. They encouraged close seating and packing them in, eschewing social distancing. The organizers bear no responsibility?
Do you really need someone to take responsibility for your actions? Someone to blame other than yourself?
I have no issues with folks making decisions for themselves as well as paying the consequences for them.
Iām not saying the organizers bear personal responsibility from a legal perspective. Iād just like done leadership and we arenāt getting it.
Agreed. Although there are some differences. The BLM protests certainly had more masks than Trumpās rally. They were also outside which is less likely to spread the virus. They also were not stationary which also impedes the chance of transmission.
Iām not saying they were wise protests, but they were safer than the rally imo.
We can parse, but it really isnāt about that. It is about one group being given an exemption.
What if white supremacists were given an exemption?
All people should be treated equally under the law. Period.
Nobody in either group (BLM and Tulsa rally) was prosecuted, right?

Are you equating Covid with cologne?

We are getting leadership. For me, leadership isnāt telling me what to do it is offering tools for me to make my own decisions.
Additionally, we can all do our own research and make decisions accordingly.
Some personal responsibility is in order.

Will people if not BLM be prosecuted? The difference is was and will be.
Borgia_dude: Guvnah:New Yorkers will continue to vote for such stupidity though.
They deserve what they get.
Stupidity of supporting large gatherings of people with no observing of social distancing?
Yeah, I donāt see how anyone could vote for that stupidity.
Can you say Trump Rally?
I knew you could.
Can you say hundreds of thousands of protesters/rioters/anarchists?
I knew you could.
No, Trump supporters did not do the actions the demons did.

Imo leadership would include providing a venue that prioritizes the safety of the attendees. Leadership also models behavior that you want your followers to engage in. Iām sure you have heard the term, lead by example? What example is Trump setting when he refuses to wear face masks and doesnāt observe social distancing? Is that really the behavior you want from a leader in these times?

Most look to their leader. Youāre kidding yourself if you think most are doing research independently.

I canāt make out what you mean here. Nobody was arrested for protesting and nobody was arrested at the rally. How are they being treated differently under the law?

We donāt talk about that.
You should be showing this to the Liberals in America they are ones breaking their own covid social distancing rules in this virus crisis.
Large crows and no social distancing in these protests and rioting is another way of catching the virus. But i already know this one do American liberals?

The thing is? I make my own decisions. I gather information and make my own judgement calls.
I donāt follow. I donāt need someone to lead by example.

Of course they are. Give folks some credit.

Past versus present.
We donāt talk about that.
Yes, we do. Libs just donāt like it

Thatās (d)ifferent.
The disconnect is on full display.
Itās nice for a change to see a little bipartisan observation of stupidity.
Dream on hermano.

You think the majority of trump supporters have read the studies on mask effectiveness and decided to ignore their results and not wear masks anyways?
Most people are not political internet addicts like us here.
