This shite rationale is where you can take your L.

Either we care about protecting and passing this on to old people, or we don't. Don't try to pull the race nonsense to cover for how wrong you are, you know that's what you're doing, everyone can see right through your BS.


This idea that you can be all Gung ho about how serious COVID is and the need to shelter in place but also fully support 1000s in the streets protesting is the height of ignorance.

Based on your post count I get the keen sense you are one of those posters that treat TD like a full time job and are so shut in you can only see other people as the caricatures you have imagined in your head from cocooning yourself in this bubble. Which is why you seem incapable of addressing what I actually say instead of the simple narrative you wish to apply.

You could have picked any number of things that people have done since lockdown, gathering at parks, crowding bars, crowding pool party’s, packing beaches, but you reached for what black people decided to do as your example of moral failing. Think it’s pretty clear why. Even when I made my stance really clear in condemning breakers of recommendations regardless of circumstance you persist on making this about black people.


As to our conversation, let’s recap shall we?

You made a claim about death rates and I asked for a source prefacing I would imagine it leaves out undercounted deaths since that takes time, which, alas, it did. To which you seemed wholly unable to reconcile that there is an entire other side of the equation that lags catching up on infection rates which is undercounted Covid deaths due to missed or misclassification, which makes your statistic incomplete at best.

So what did you do? You made it about flattening the curve and took some bizarre victory lap because a place like Florida never met CDC guidelines and so after a slight dip they are now experiencing a record spike And new peak. Trying to make not properly flattening the curve some sort of pinpoint to your argument(claiming the spike was always part of the plan, no, it wasn’t, a flattening and a small increase that never truly rises above peak levels). Then tried to apply state hospitalization rates that are climbing to answer for city hot spots that are seeing major spikes. With no real reconciliation either. Or for the fact 14 states are seeing record hospitalizations and many cities going into emergency mode, indicating they aren’t able to properly stay in reasonable capacity or move toward normal operations.


You can keep typing random stuff you can’t contextualize to justify your desire for black people to shut up and dribble in packed arenas as cases continue to climb, but making a convincing argument you have not.
