This is rewriting history. They said rallies/protests would increase transmission, but they didnt shut them down for reasons like "some things are more important than safety".

If you wanna bitch about it, at least complain about what actually happened.

Now we know that Trump and his team grossly overreacted

Your political allies wanted an even greater overreaction. Compare the reactions of blue states to red states. You and your ilk called DeSantis every name under the sun for opening up Florida.

Good grief, ya'll act like Covid set you back 20 years.

Hopefully, your husbands have some testosterone.

Democrats didn’t overreact at all

having to wear a neck gaiter for 5 minutes while they waited for a table was the hardest ordeal they've ever been through apparently.

Do you still wear one everywhere you go? Respiratory viruses still exist and harm some people.
If you truly believed in them back then, you have to wear it the rest of your life or you are full of shite.

Why were you afraid to take your chances during covid with a 99.9% chance of living?

I looked around me and literally no one I knew was hospitalized, much less dropping dead. Yet when I turned on the TV each day, the messaging was entirely different.

Then they said it was unsafe to do X,Y, and Z, but social justice rallies were fine. I mean come on.

Sorry some of y’all lacked common sense.

George Floyd BS happened in late May and June. We knew a lot more by then. I'm talking about the very initial weeks. Early March to early April. Those were very uncertain times. If you say you knew it was fake then, then you're either a liar or dumb. Not much was known then, and it wasn't really spreading widely in the US at that point. shite, go look back at the Honkus thread and trying to get him out.

Everyone should have shown healthy skepticism when shitheads like Pelosi were telling their constituents to go party in Chinatown and when all of those mealy mouthed politicians kept getting caught out in public after shouting down to everyone to stay home.

---

Again, not the time frame I am talking about. No one was going out in late March to April. It was a fricking ghost town out there.

So you weren’t the least bit phased by covid but you were fully supportive of being forced to do stupid shite like wearing a mask to walk around but not when sitting. But if left up to you, you had zero concerns about spreading it when a rule didn’t apply?
