Not shocked even slightly. And people wonder why credibility and confidence in governance is waning..
I'm going to engage in some whataboutism to prove a point about media bias.
Trump, he's the president so he should be held to a higher standard, lied to keep people from panicking (his story). Got it, check, roger. The press has obliterated him. Again, he should be held to a higher standard.
A Democrat mayor and his staff deliberately withheld the numbers and used fraudulent data to close restaurants and bars. You barely see a peep in the media. CNN and MSNBC...zero coverage. Nothing on their websites.
Again, Trump should be held to a higher standard with a proportional response from the media IMO. With that said, liberal news organizations won't even cover the story? Not one bit?
Kind of makes it hard for a case that the media is unbiased.
ETA; Spelling are hard

Talk about things I didn't expect to see...a Pro Trump/Anti-Covid rally in Montreal. Oh those Quebecois don't take no shit lol.
100,000 in Montreal Canada March for Freedom — They Chant ‘USA-USA-USA,’ Fly ‘Trump 2020’ Flags & Protest Overbearing COVID-19 Policies

They've been picking up momentum, not just in Montréal. They just draw the biggest crowds.

This is just really dumb, if restaurants are able to operate at 75% seating capacity there is no reason for bars to be closed and same with distilleries.
Texas bars and distilleries rip Gov. Greg Abbott for leaving them out of "unacceptable" reopening plan

Victoria, AUS, Police doing their best to be hated by the people, also love the shithead photographers getting in on the action.
So first the CDC gives this guidance, which most of us probably guessed already.
U.S. CDC backtracks on coronavirus airborne transmission guidance
And now a retraction.
CDC stumbles again, mistakenly posting 'draft' guidance on airborne Covid spread

Here's the deal, there's not a fucking chance in hell I'm believing that the virus spreads well beyond 6-feet. If anything it would have to be significantly less. Because, given how contagious this has been, how have we not seen these riots and protests falling apart because of COVID-19 infections?
What scientific evidence do you have that leads you to that belief?
It could be argued that mitigation factors (masks/public health) are effective, and that the theory COVID is not dangerous in UV light may hold some weight. Simulated Sunlight Rapidly Inactivates SARS-CoV-2 on Surfaces
I'm pulling these screenshot from the CDC so take the data for what you will; but it does look like cases trended highest around when protest where most reverent, but deaths have been trending down; possibly better treatments, or perhaps people with less comorbidities getting it?
It does seem that certain states are being hit more, but the connection between protests/infection isn't clear to me without digging into what's happening in those states specifically. Like, I get that Cali, Wisconsin, and Georgia could be protest related, but Texas/Florida/Tennessee?
When the CDC came out with the statistics for strictly COVID caused deaths, the tracker on google changed to reflect it. The other day I checked it and it was back to the normal count (195k+) and it said COVID "Linked" deaths. Now it's back to the original stats again. Am I missing something?
Didn't you hear? Here in Wisconsin it is all due to students existing. Or, so I've been told
But, definitely not the protests (riots).

Absolutely none other than the fact I've been living and within in the confines of the current restrictions and exposed to enough people that we should open the bitch up.
You had "scientific" experts saying that anti-lockdown protests spread the virus and then that Anti-Police violence protests didn't. They're linked in this thread.
The people, everywhere have been done with this stupidity for a long time.
Thanks.
And now it's fighting back...

No peer review so let's take it with a tonne of salt for the meantime.
