The protests are outdoors, meaning that, they have a much wider area for coronavirus to spread, while indoors events have a limited area for the virus to spread in.

And, most of the protesters don't wear masks, while the Trump rally will have attendees wearing masks.

So, like somebody already said in this thread, the article is full of chit (with an 's').

Would LOVE for that to be the case, but I'd bet a fair amount of $$ that we'll see less than 5% (probably less than 1%) of Tulsa rally attendees wearing masks. And all the coverage I've seen on the news of the protests, probably 80+% are wearing masks.

Face it, gang..our side has done a pretty bad job on the whole masks issue. Many of us have been in serious denial on it. Yet, every country that embraces masks (eg: Hong Kong, which has a higher density of people than NYC) have the virus mostly under control by wearing masks everywhere. Why we have to politicize this is beyond me..masks reduce spread by reducing the amount of virus a sick person emits. They can, made properly, also provide some (up to 80% or higher) protection to the wearer. But as the expression goes.."my mask protects you - your mask protects me". Asian and Nordic countries by and large "get" this, and those countries have a fraction of the sick and dead people we have. Why can't we "get" this simple fact also? If we could do this one simple thing, we could make a serious dent in getting this all under control and getting our economy and our country back all the more quickly..
