Black Lives Matter protesters are ‘destroying the COVID-19 social contract’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Sharri Markson says the Black Lives Matter protesters across Australia on Saturday could “very well be directly responsible” for a second wave of coronavirus cases.\n\nMs Markson said the “biggest worry” for the health officials and politicians throughout the country when deciding to lift restrictions was the risk of a second wave of the virus.\n\n“It doesn’t matter what these protesters are protesting … the subject matter here is not relevant because these protesters are breaking the ban on mass gatherings, they’re risking their lives along with everyone else’s,” she said.\n\nThe protesters were quite clearly “breaking the ban” on mass gatherings, “flouting social compact” and were risking unravelling “all of the good work that we’ve done as a collective for the past 11 weeks”.\n\n“I am disappointed and saddened and angry by the protesters who care so little for society, so little for our world, for our families, for our livelihoods, for our lives”.\n\n“These protesters are destroying the social contract we’ve all made, to do our bit for the good of society.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia SharriMarkson For Scott Morrison's sake, I hope so. Or, it's a hoax. SharriMarkson You all lack character by protesting in the face of so many who have lost their businesses, their jobs, the families and their friends. I have nothing but contempt for all of you. You are the one committing crimes that get you arrested. Blame yourselves SharriMarkson Oh and those protesters last week were fine? Oh please SharriMarkson show some consistency... 🤦🏻

What was the point of destroying the economy? australian EliGreenblat But it's OK for 10,000+ people to march.
