I guess I don’t mean that they are the same. Just that it seems risk is rarely mentioned when covering marches.

Just feel like we went very quickly from “Look at these idiots at a restaurant recklessly taking their lives in their hands and probably exposing others” to “Man. Look at the streets and massive gatherings of people all over the world. How wonderful.”

I know they aren’t the same. But they aren’t THAT different when you are taking about that scale.

I guess we will see in the coming days how it plays out.

- 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

      - 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
