I’m convinced COVID will die out when everyone stops talking about it. Looking at you, mainstream media.
I'm just glad it wasn't the really big asteroid ... Glass more than half full type I guess.

it’s hypocrisy at its highest.
MOP,

"unless you are protesting?" "hypocrisy?"

COVID is a virus that recently hit our nation and one that we will hopefully defeat with a vaccine and/or cure. Our country's resources are being expended in an all out effort to make sure that happens. Our airline may, or may not, survive the fallout from COVID; the airline industry has never guaranteed its frontline employees a smooth ride.

RACISM on the other hand is a disease that has infected our country for hundreds of years. Progress on that has been glacial slow, and far too many refuse to believe it is even real. Few resources have been used in this fight, and moments of truth like the ugly ones captured on the recent videos are used to move this critical fight forward.

Yes, we should be fighting both, but ask yourself which one is worse?

yeah not interested in that dissscusion.

my post is surface level we order everyone to stay home, close restaurants, bars , hair salons, everyone stay in lockdown......ok now everyone wear a mask and stay 6 feet apart. Some states enforce this with laws and ordinances.

then for weeks people stand shoulder to shoulder a lot with out masks.......how does that stop the spread of the virus? They can march through the streets without anyone saying a word but my kids can’t go to school?

someone needs to set some ground rules AND STICK TO IT.....our careers depend on it.

Went to two lake parks today in Denver... what genius ordered the parking lots closed? Shouldn’t they be encouraging outdoor exercise activities ? Morons.

Not interested in that discussion, eh? Can I assume you were equally outraged by the protesters in Michigan demanding that the governor "open up the state" because Trump said things would be fine?

You're an enigma, RL. Parking lots? Did you exercise or not? Go study something.

look this isn’t about race Iv read my posts and don’t know why my words are being taken in the wrong direction. I’m done, not going to let my words get turned trying to paint me as a racist.

People say we need to get our **** together so the rest of the world let’s us in......well that means ALL of us

Government mandated closures (bars, restaurants, businesses, churches, schools) and the associated “stay at home orders” are all about seeing how far they (elected officials) can restrict basic constitutional rights before citizens fight back (happening now)... sad part is most people are oblivious that this is even happening. “Slow the curve” was the start and intended for a very short duration... needed time to allow hospitals to prepare/grow capacity and supplies/ventilators to be manufactured... that time ended a month ago.

I'm certainly not trying to paint you as a racist. There are definitely a lot of people in our country who aren't interested in this conversation, as you put it, and I'm happy the protests are bringing them to the conversation table. I'm glad to hear that you're consistent with your outrage.
