SEATTLE — Thousands of people gathered at the Washington state Capitol to protest Gov. Jay Inslee’s stay-at-home order designed to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
In Olympia on Sunday, some protesters wore masks, while others waved American flags.
The Washington State Patrol said an estimated 2,500 people showed up to the protest. No arrests were made.
Tyler Miller, one of the organizers of the event, had said rural areas should be treated differently than more urban locations with more coronavirus cases.
Earlier Sunday, Inslee decried President Donald Trump’s call to “liberate” parts of the country from social-distancing decrees, saying Trump is fomenting a potentially deadly “insubordination” before the pandemic is contained.
The latest statewide death toll as reported by the Department of Health had reached 634 deaths among 11,790 confirmed coronavirus cases as of 11:59 p.m. Saturday.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the counties with the highest totals: King County has 346 deaths among 5,135 cases; Snohomish County has 94 deaths among 2,101 cases; and Pierce County has 32 deaths among 1,109 cases.

How many are or were infected in your area of 13,500?

Sit on it, Potsie.
.....”there is still a risk of transmission.”.....
I would hope you’re not under the impression that the coronavirus will be going away....It’s now here and will always have a risk of transmission. It’s not going away.
I think we all know it is not going away, but I am not putting myself or family in a situation that would increase the risk of being infected.
the entire ‘county’....161cases.....my ‘city’ of 13,500 had just 12 hospitalized at the height....now just 6.
They know exactly what they are doing.
It’s called Tyranny.
You make your choices, you take your chances
Funny how the DimoKKKrats are only about ONE type of "choice"
That seems to be a far lower infection rate than many areas.
.....”I am not putting myself or family in a situation that would increase the risk of being infected”.......
How are you going to know the risk?.....You’re best friend you have for lunch could have been in a large gathering and she’s been infected. Crowds or not. This virus is unseen.
I try to minimize risk.
A year ago I fought with my siblings to keep our elderly mother at her home. They wanted to put her in a retirement home. She is still healthy and at home.
My wife and I are working from home. Kids are schooling from home.
None of us have been in a store or far outside our property in a month.
By no means are we guaranteed not to get infected, but we are lowering our risk.
Yes,... this area in Westr Pa had time to prepare when Trump first sounded the alarm..and did. By march 11th our hospitals were well prepared....and the people here kept their distance when out early on..... When the surge began a couple weeks ago people stayed home and wore masks when out.
Now we’re on the other side of it and it’s dropping fast.
Our idiot governor does not know that you do not need a 20-lb sledgehammer to pound a 12d box nail. Clueless.
If you are vulnerable, stay at home. Be cautious. But do not expect the world to stop on your behalf.
Get tough or die.
I was there, as well as my two sons. Soon as I can find a place to store ‘em online, I’ll post some here.
It seems most of the vulnerable people are retired so it really isn’t a economic hardship to self isolate. Why is that so hard for people to understand?
I’m pointing to what a
Meaningless assertion
Was being made.
Were they not
“Social Distancing?”
Some had Masks?
What are We supposed to do,
All become
“Bubble Boys?”
.
Break out your
Actuarial Tables
and play some
“Solitar” while I
and the rest of
The World try to
Salvage Our lives
After it has been hijacked
By Marxist DoGooders.
