Seattle protests haven't contributed much to the spread of COVID-19 - so far
After Seattle urged all protesters to get tested for the coronavirus at expanded facilities, fewer than 1% are coming back positive.
Apparently, Fauci is unaware of the "good news". Since they are claiming that "protests" in Seattle are not spreading Covid-19, the region is asking to move to phase 2 of their plan to contain the illness (fewer restrictions)
Again, one wishes that Fauci and others criticizing President Trump for holding a popular rally would get the word. Unless Covid-19 only strikes conservatives gathering at a rally and not leftists pushing for anarchy beneath a "cover" of social justice. Note the Seattle governor's testing summary in red:
A few days ago, the Seattle "protests" were estimated at 6 thousand. I've seen anecdotal assertions that they are growing much larger in the past few days. The MSM is providing cover.
The optics of a "warlord" patrolling a thug sanctuary apparently weren't playing well. The tone has changed in the last few days. NPR's June 17 seems written to help improve "the narrative".
"The open-air protest camp is a week old. In that time, protesters have established a food co-op, a community garden, medical stations, a speaker's stage, movie nights, book exchanges, and round-the-clock security patrols. They see their camp as a prototype for a self-reliant, safe enclave that doesn't need police."
The article goes on to claim that the right wing falsely portrayed the "open air protest camp" as violent when in fact, those within the barriers (upgraded and moved by city workers to permit traffic to pass through) are in danger from violence by Proud Boys and other right wing types.
Yes, "the narrative" is a-changing. Here's Politico's Eric Scigliano, writing on June 15 describing CHOP:
"—a protean, issue-focused but conceptually sprawling formative community, at once silly and serious, spontaneous and disciplined. Over the course of two evenings and an afternoon in the zone (plus a night observing a police/protest showdown there the week before), it seemed by turns like a commune (as in Paris 1871), an anarcho-syndicalist and small-L libertarian dream, a ’60s-style teach-in, a street fair and street market, a campout and weekend party, a poetry slam and pilgrimage, a school service day, a mass healing circle, a humbler urban version of Burning Man, and of course a protest rally."
Don’t Listen to Fox. Here’s What’s Really Going On in Seattle’s Protest Zone.
But the CIA Op in Seattle is rumored to have protests much larger than the 6000 noted 5 days ago. Who knows? We have a treasonous press and a sellout governor running cover for them.
