@ghostofuga1 Is that you deleting comments? I'll say it again then. This comment is despicable.
Then explain why you support allowing high risk activities to resume while demonizing BLM protests that data show didn't cause a spike in cases. I and many others expected they would but were pleasantly surprised they did not. However, many people seem to be upset that this wasn't the case and still want to blame the protests instead of poorly planned reopenings. Why is that?
Yep, and you stand in the corner for few days. Maybe longer.
I don't remember y'all getting on the lockdown protesters for causing a spike in cases and they didn't even wear masks for the most part and they either stayed in a single spot outside or went inside.
Come on yale... really?
Never heard of that group but I have been recruited by your "Blame a Republican for Everything" And they really do get blamed for EVERYTHING.
Yeah, we have data showing the BLM protests didn't contribute to spikes in cases. This was surprising, but that's what the data say. However, many people want to blame them for the spikes in cases instead of poorly planned re-openings. There also seems to be a large overlap in this group of people and those that supported the lockdown protesters. I'm just trying to understand the reasoning because I keep coming to the same conclusion.
Can you point to anyone blaming Republicans for anything in this thread?
Ya all take a break. I might re open this tomorrow
Last chance I will not re open it again
I understand your position but wish that individual offenders could be banned from particular threads rather than punish all. Equally I don't think a Forum wide ban for such individuals is necessarily warranted as it is an emotional topic for many.
Appreciate all you and the other Mods do.
Adult swim is now over - kids, back in the pool!...
SC cases are still creeping in the direction we want them to go. Very encouraging trends - and we are close to calling it a trend. 7 day avg has dropped. % pos rate is easing down (no where near where we need it.
Now, if we can calm down the beach parties in Myrtle and Charleston, and keep the dives closed up here in the Upstate and in Columbia, we might actually keep more people alive.
Hospitalizations are also down due to Covid to around 1400, after a 1775 peak.
Spoke to someone at the hospital yesterday that said it has eased a bit, and their Covid floors were not as crowded.
HOPEFULLY a good trend that will replicate itself all over this great nation.
Headed to play golf with a group of current and retired basketball coaches (responsibly social distanced, of course). Probably 12 of us. Quick math tells me there will be 3500+ wins and 14 rings represented in the group (3 guys combine for 1500 of those alone). The stories (lies?) told will be epic...
Erased it. Not worth it.
I’m a no shutdown, no restrictions of any liberties guy, I feel like that’s been pretty clear. People should be free to live their lives as they choose. If folks want to protest, that’s their right to do so, so long as they don’t break any laws. Cases are going to happen and there’s no way to stop them. Re-opening led to cases, just as protests led to cases. When people gather anywhere, viruses have opportunities to spread. Same as it ever was. To argue over data that is incomplete & therefore inaccurate at best....biased at worst... is a waste of my time.
