The coronavirus

Both bad ideas.  In that one picture of a few from Biden’s crowd, there is one person not wearing a mask and one with it below their nose.  Those two could infect everyone around them, not to mention no social distancing.  Both pics look like bad judgement during a pandemic.  

In the livestreams last night, people were not being careful at all.

Yes, there are differences in the crowd. But you don’t see a little hypocrisy in the protests and large gatherings in general though?

You won't find me gathering in a crowd, that's for sure!  But at least the Biden crowd acknowledges the existence of the virus and most were wearing masks. Also, the Biden crowd was outdoors and not indoors.  Don't get me wrong, I don't defend the idea of crowd gathering and especially would not defend the idea of not wearing a mask, but the differing perspectives of these groups I think is very clear.

Years from now when we look back at images, the caption under the top pic will talk about a celebration despite a pandemic and the other a caption that speaks to the division that one man and his sycophants was able to exploit.

I think it’s disingenuous to suggest the Trump gatherings were dangerous and things like yesterday were not.  Biden is supposed to be leading in this area. The speech probably should have been on TV only.  The other gatherings are not on Biden but again, super-spreading knows no party.

And equally disingenuous to deny that one group is much more likely to consider and pursue other mitigation after taking part in a large gathering. It’s a bad look, risky and absolutely frivolous but I know which crowd I’d rather be sitting in to say nothing of the political makeup of either. I

Really it’s like night & day to me both sides are not the same lol look to what states are the highest infections rate? All red

Exactly.  That's what Heather Cox Richards pointed out statistically.  Again, "93% of the 376 counties with the highest numbers of coronavirus cases per capita voted for Trump".

So here is an opportunity for people of all parties to come together.  Realize the mistakes of large group gatherings, especially without masks, lose the allegiance to public figures who are ignorant on the issue an go with true science and medicine and work together to reduce and eventually end this thing.  I can't see any reason anyone would not go along with that-- not even outliers who would love to see the human population decimated.  COVID is taking many lives, but it will not significantly reduce world-wide human population numbers and it is only serving to cause much pain, suffering and grief.

Looks like it’s going away to me, like things go away.

Yes it’s pretty clear how this virus should of been dealt with from the very beginning! Wear a fuckiing mask and avoid large gatherings, so yes both sides are guilty of not abiding by simple safety measures!!

But one side from day one dismissed the danger of not following simple guidelines from the CDC, take a look at how many people got infected in this administration tell me how they were the people in charge? It’s unreal at how inept they are good riddance!

True, if everyone wears a mask, stays smart and gets vaccinated by the end of 2021 maybe we can enjoy a celebration for the ages in 2022. The combination of Science plus common sense is the ONLY way this ends. Patience is going to be the key to how many lives we lose in 2021. Just because Pfizer and other vaccines are on the way doesn't mean COVID is going to throw in the towel and go home. Sadly that's what a large portion of our population is going to assume. An instant gratification society facing down a pandemic that's going to take another 12-18 months to contain makes me nervous.

I am trying to be optimistic and hoping we can have concerts again next summer. I know the odds of that happening may be not the best but as of right now I would prefer to be thinking positive. I do not think we should rush this but if a vaccine that works as well as these numbers suggest is out by spring and the sick/old/vulnerable are able to have it readily available I think I would be ok with things going back to normal.
