Social distancing is the most effective way to slow the spread of the coronavirus— more so than face coverings and eye protection, analysis finds.

Download theThe spread of infection in crowds has been shown before, particularly during the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Infectious disease experts now worry history is repeating itself, with similar scenes that appear to be playing out in cities across the U.S. — not only among protesters, but also from people moving quickly back to"normal life." "I really am more concerned about the way that people have gone back to where they aren't using any type of personal protective equipment when they're interacting with others," she added.Schünemann's analysis also found some benefit to face masks and even eye protection to protect against coronavirus infections.

Corona virus is over. With these protest, herd ammunitiy was just achieved.

LeslieMarshall I don’t think these protesters give a hoot.

Yea...don’t think anyone is really adhering to that atm.🤷‍♂️

You guys seem to have painted yourself into a corner.

get them all back to work

Yea our progress to slow the spread just went backwards across the country

Ya think?

😭😂😂☺️☺️☺️☺️😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 what? So liberals are tired of the masks even though they were the ones pushing it but on everyone. How doesn't anyone see the madness if liberalism🤣🤣🤣🤣 now they are vandals and arsonists, no more masks and staying home 😂😂

I'm having a hard time visualizing social distancing and protesting?

As you encourage rioting...

Are Epidemiologists the Astrologers of the 21st Century? Are mayors the 21st century palmists? Are the influencers the sellers of snake oil of the 21st century?

Let me guess, And wearing black too?

The liberal governors who would not open have thousands of residents spitting in each other’s faces. Oh the irony

The Karen's are going to be suddenly all for social distancing. While America is being fascist, at least shoot a few of them for not wearing face masks.

Like people care! We have every right to voice! Do not try to silence us with health guidelines! We don’t need that right now! Zip up your mouth already!

Everyone needs to social distance during this riot!

😂
