Minnesota (where George Floyd was murdered) is adding about 250 cases a day. Oregon, which has seen 22 straight days of protests in Portland, some as large as 12,000 people, is adding about 160 cases a day. Meanwhile, Arizona, Texas, and Georgia are adding cases by the THOUSANDS every day. Too-early reopening in states with no mask protocols has been responsible for VASTLY more infections than masked protests. If you don’t believe me, go look at the numbers yourself. Your statistics are misleading. Oregon is a low density unpopulated state so it will obviously have fewer cases. It primarily depends on when states have opened up. New York and and Michigan, Pennsylvania will see simlar spikes in infections in a month or two since they have just recently opened up.

Even if you use “cases per 100,000 people” metric, Oregon (now seeing its 29th straight night of protests) lags far behind the early re-opening states in COVID cases. By a lot.

I've avoided the COVID part of this conversation because, well, ? HOWEVER, this is where it comes into play: The Bills all come down with COVID, so are about to have to forfeit, but, up pulls Doug Flutie, with a lizard man wearing a Bills Sammy Watkins jersey, ripped pants, and no shoes (think: Spiderman), in the passenger side of a 1976 Buick Electra, and a gang of 52 guys wearing football uniforms, including you, me, and Bruce Smith. ...now, in the game, I drop the game-winning pass from Doug, simultaneously peeing myself, and spiralling into a deep state of depression for letting him down. But that's okay, because I still like Chan Gailey, and I didn't root against the Bills. 1

Im all for the protests but this study is patently false and misleading. I live in Atlanta, where there were tons of protests, and cases have grown. Same with Charlotte, same with LA, same with Houston, same with mid-size/smaller cities like Greenville, SC - In fact, nearby, most allude to Clemson football having such a jump because of players participating in the protests. At the very least it’s extremely coincidental. All had protests and all had an immediate spike in cases, yet here we are with this article... Good thing hospitalizations and deaths are still down most everywhere, since that was the goal, before media and politicians made everyone believe the goal is actually to stop COVID - so I wouldn’t be upset if protests actually did spike cases - which they clearly have, despite this mess of an inaccurate study.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 On 6/20/2020 at 10:57 PM, Billznut said: NBA and MLB players have already overwhelmingly been against being separated from their families for months to play a season. I highly doubt NFL players will think any differently. I don’t think families are included in the “bubble” by these leagues. So players will have to decide between playing or being with their families. Doesn’t look like they will get both. Ironically, having one's family might make it a lot easier for the players to limit socializing and stay within a limited group vs. being separated from families and restless/bored.
