  - I don't see any masks on anyone walking around in the casino but with the protests and marches nearly everyone is wearing a mask. - Krusty Jun 7, 07:32 17
    - Also, open air vs closed spaces. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 07:35 16

        It’s fair to say that news shouldn’t really focus on it because that is clearly not the primary point of what is happening. - Volnelk Jun 7, 08:08 5
        
        Yeah, I understand why folks are saying things like that. - ty97 Jun 7, 08:16

        i know it's a risk, but i also think it's important. - colin Jun 7, 07:50 1
