    I agree, when Congress and Local Governments stop the hypocrisy of mandating masks, lockdowns and all social gatherings while at the same time exempting or better said, promoting protests and anti-American sentiment - maybe people will take them seriously.

  2. Totally agree with you on the role reversal part.

    I am a very firm believer in the big picture biological aspect of all this. I'm good, not as good as Here4money :) but good at spotting error in patterns. This affects my trading style a lot. However more clearly, the disgust reaction differences I have seen over and over in life.

    Sure, ignore the medical experts because of your politics and see how it works out. You'll likely be one of the last countries to get this under control, and have nobody but yourselves to blame for it.

    The same medical experts that say large groups of protesters gathered together won’t spread the virus, but gathering on a beach is the same as committing mass murder?

    The blame falls directly on the Democrats and their attempt to politically manipulate the covid19 response.

    There is no reason to go to a beach during a virus outbreak. Yet obviously people do. Can't legislate common sense but you can punish people enough to discourage them from certain activities. I have yet to see a legit medical expert support large public gatherings of any type. Starting with Trump's convention(s). What I would note that of the protests, the beach goers, etc etc, it's all mostly Americans flaunting safety. Canada had some protests but they were orderly, people took safety precautions, no looting. That's an American experience.

    The virus doesn't care what political party you believe in or what your salary was. The virus doesn't care how much you love the beach or any number of crowded social gatherings. The virus doesn't care about your "freedoms" and what you think that entitles you to do. It will find you if you let it. It might even find you if someone close to you finds it instead.

    Seems the Trumper boys are showing their upbringing again, back to "look what you made me do".
