Lockdown protesters are probably spreading coronavirus, because duh

that a big motivator for a nationwide lockdown was to avoid spreading covid-19. It could be that this lost knowledge from two months ago is at least partially responsible for any surprise over the fact that people traveling to protest coronavirus lockdowns are, in turn, bringing the virus to other, largely unaffected locations when they leave said protests.

“One visualization shows that in Lansing, Michigan, after a 30 April protest in which armed protesters stormed the capitol building and state police were forced to physically block access to Governor Gretchen Whitmer, devices which had been present at the protest site can be seen returning to all parts of the state, from Detroit to remote towns in the state’s north. One device visible in the data traveled to and from Afton, which is over 180 miles from the capital.

The idea of people spreading coronavirus by protesting attempts to contain the spread of coronavirus should probably make me angry, and likely would have, were I not so overwhelmed by the constant flood of bad and/or absurd coronavirus news. It could be that I will look back in a few years’ time and find some retroactive fury, but at this moment, my only response to this story is exhaustion tinged with a hint wistfulness over the fact that Joseph Heller is not alive to see this.

Italy opens churches as virus rules dictate how to eat, prayItaly and the Vatican opened a new phase in the virus crisis Monday, with churches resuming public Masses after a sharp confrontation between the Italian church and state over limits on worshipping in the era of COVID-19. This is hard to leave a comment on.. All officials think the key to reopening is testing, that’s wrong. In fact, the key to returning to normal is finding a tool to arrest this invisible enemy, COVID-19. Cotton, fabric or cloth gloves are the best tool to do this job. Latex or plastic gloves cannot do that job. The answer is simple. Get a clergyman to bless Earth's oceans. Result: Holy water in our water cycle. People drinking holy water. Cure for COVID-19 because clearly God protects his sheep.
