America's Guinea Pigs

[Zam-Zam]

Social distancing was one of the casualties of the Floyd protest's across the country....Perhaps, however, we as a nation can make use of that.

In the next few days we should know what effect, if any, this complete lack of social distancing had on the spread of the coronavirus. Knowledge is power, as they say. Based on the results, we can act accordingly.

Hopefully, there will be no spike in covid-19 cases. If that turns out to be the case, we'll know we can all act accordingly, and perhaps fully open up the nation. If the news is more dire, well then we'll have to deal with that accordingly.

We should know fairly one way or the other fairly soon now.

Apparently, the "protesters" were given magical protection against covid19, at least according to a group of "health care professionals", who penned a letter stating their belief in this spell of protection.

We'll see.

History, however, does not bode well for those gathering in force during a pandemic:

A 1918 a military parade sparked the second wave of flu infections

If history is any indication of how this might play out, we need look no further than the 1918 flu pandemic. In September of that year, after the first wave of spring flu infections subsided, Philadelphia decided to proceed with a military parade, which drew a crowd of 200,000. Within a day, every hospital bed in the city was filled and within six weeks more than 12,000 Philadelphians were dead, according to The Washington Post.

Let's hope it's different this time around.

I certainly hope this doesn't lead to a second wave. If it doesn't, we'll have solid evidence the virtual house arrests of hundreds of millions of Americans was a political stunt perpetrated by the left because they hate Donald Trump.

And if it DOES we will be treated to more glee from dems/libs ranting on and on about how it is the fault of Trump.

Quite possibly.

One of two things will happen; Either their will be a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases due to the nationwide gathering of protesters, or there will not be. Both have implications.

We'll know soon enough.
