I struggle with differentiating this from just about every rally/march.

I can’t get fired up about one without the other.

Hopeful that it doesn’t start a massive second wave but we should begin to see in the coming days.

One is balancing a greater risk of COVID against the possibility of social change, the other is balancing the COVID risk against wanting things to be - Roger More Jun 7, 07:59
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
  - I guess I don’t mean that they are the same. Just that it seems risk is rarely mentioned when covering marches. - Volnelk Jun 7, 07:59 8
    - I hear it mentioned/discussed, we even talk about it here. -- nm - ty97 Jun 7, 08:03 7
      - Yeah, I've seen it discussed and mentioned a few times. -- nm - Krusty Jun 7, 08:16
      - 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
        
        That line was the easiest for opponents to adapt to. It’s quick and dirty false equivalency. -- nm - Qale Jun 7, 08:16 3
        
        This. -- nm - Marlowe Jun 7, 08:20 2
        
        So maybe a fairer argument (from some) would be “If you are fine with these marches, are you fine with football games?” -- (edited) - Volnelk Jun 7, 08:32 1
        
        well said -- nm - mud Jun 7, 08:47
  - Right and that seems to be a big issue for the spread -- nm - Krusty Jun 7, 07:37 6
    - even just a fan indoors spreads the virus pretty evenly over the space if someone is contagious. it's a lot harder outdoors with all the air currents. -- nm - colin Jun 7, 07:49 2
      - i know it's a risk, but i also think it's important. - colin Jun 7, 07:50 1
        
        It is important. Everyone is assessing their own comfortability with risks. - Epiphany Jun 7, 08:25
    - But the cigarette smoke should choke it off, right? - Ba'rona Beast Jun 7, 07:43 1
      - They still allow smoking in casinos? Yeesh. -- nm - Krusty Jun 7, 07:49
    - And people aren’t betting on black. I mean... seriously, is it their first time in Vegas? -- nm - Qale Jun 7, 07:43
