And I even understand, to a point, these people protesting for "Liberation" of their states. I mean, I understand the danger of giving up freedoms for safety. It IS a slippery slope. We gave up some freedoms after 9/11 for the sake of safety, and I'm not sure I agree with them. So I understand.
However, the problem I have with these protests is that these people want to be able to come and go freely, even though it endangers others. And in their protests they're doing exactly that. But that's dangerous. And not just to themselves.
What if someone in that group is an asymptomatic carrier? Chances are very good that there's more than one or two in that group. So if these protesters infect each other, then go to Kroger's or Walmart, or the Pharmacy, they can transfer the coronavirus to these workers. The workers who HAVE to be there, and who are taking chances every time they go to work.
So honestly, if a protester gets the virus and dies, that's of his own doing.
But going to the protest, then infecting an innocent store worker? Then that innocent worker could die?
That's just wrong. I"m sorry that these people can't make the sacrifice we're asking for-to stay home. We're not asking anything superhuman-just stay home. I saw a post about a WW2 vet talking about the sacrifices his generation made. Yet these protesters don't want to sacrifice at all. And in the process, they may be (probably are) killing innocent people.
I'm not sure these protesters have thought it all the way through. At least I hope they haven't. Otherwise, that means they don't care who they injure. Or kill.
