Is this the part where I say "I told you so?'

Covid 19 is on the rise again in 20 states in America a couple of weeks into those States starting to open up and lift restrictions. Second wave here we come and with the two to three week lag its too late to stop it now. Those "I cant Breathe" protestors will only fuel that fire in a week or two.

Raise your hand if you saw this coming 🙋

It is not all right for him not to wear one, it sets a bad example, but it’s not like he’s treated this whole pandemic thing seriously, anyway 🙄@smiler2012

Who in their right mind could believe that a few people came here and infected a good chunk of the nation but an infected nation wouldnt finish the job and infect most of the rest?

@Carla Here is the best easy graphic for this I could find.

@whowasthatmaskedman This is genius! To the stubborn and stupid it won't matter because they never take anything seriously anyway!
I think almost everybody saw this coming.

The alternative?
@whowasthatmaskedman I am. But sometimes death from a virus seems less imminent than being murdered during an arrest.

If Derek Chauvin and his ilk had followed the law, there wouldn't be protests.

@Mamapolo2016 I agree again. Not that the community at large should not have been just as outraged over a hundred other incidents. I dont have an answer where the American people come out a winner in this..
@whowasthatmaskedman Only if we face it, own it, and change it. That is the only winning hand. If we don't we deserve to lose.

Yes and this increase plus the increase from the protesters which might be even greater will seed the fall wave.

And there are fools who will still continue to downplay it as usual.

Considering the incubation period is estimated to be 5-6 days, I think that protests and riots would be a large contributor to the rise in infections.
HannahBee · F
@whowasthatmaskedman No, obviously not and I stated that in a comment. If you read my original comment, I'm just telling you from MY experience what is going on here! I am saying that opening up has not caused an increase In covid here but these spikes the US are experiencing are likely caused by protests and that we will see if our protest here has caused an increase in cases or not really soon! It's not my fault that you got so offended over my comment that was meant just to give a little bit of perspective on what else could be contributing to the spike. Riots and protest have been going on long enough that it's VERY LIKELY a contributing factor. Since I'm assuming you are not American, my opinion on what's happening there is just as valid as yours.

@HannahBee Opening up once the virus has been controlled in the community is the only safe course for now. A point your nation and mine seem to have learned. And on that point of agreement I suggest we conclude.

@whowasthatmaskedman Gladly. Kind of tired of adults who overreact, seems most of you do that here.

We knew this would happen, and most states would have stayed locked down if not for Trump insisting they open. Again, he doesn't care about any of us, he's only concerned about himself. Maybe if he was to get the virus things would change.

@SW-User The same as the religion Virus. But with those you have a choice to catch it or not. This one gets you whether you believe or not.

I would use caution in trying to predict the future. Covid 19 being on the rise is NOT the same as hospitals being overwhelmed.

Anyone who claims to be able to predict what will happen is over-stating reality, because we are still learning about how this virus spreads.

It's better than having the virus suppressed so effectively that the second wave would be overwhelming.

You can't educate stupid people bud
