why no protests to stay closed?

[pstokely]

I'm not for an indefinite quarantine for the lower risk, but many are, including here

[A HERETIC I AM]

1. Because smart people aren't stupid...

And see that as a waste of time.

5. ...

2. It's hard to stage a protest when everybody is quarantined at home.

[brewens]

3. I guess we do that by staying home. Us going out and protesting wouldn't exactly look good.

Wearing a mask still may be a form of protest in some areas.

[RhodeIslandOne]

4. Because we don't defeat the purpose....

[2naSalit]

6. Because by staying home, everybody can tell

who the stupid people are.

Hint: they're the only ones out protesting about having to stay at home.

9. ....

13. Thanks, I kind of stole

the idea from Roy Wood Jr.. He has a joke in his stand up routine that is roughly the same only it refers to the confederate flag showing him who the dangerous people are.

7. Gathering to protest people gathering is absurdist theater. I wouldn't go masked and gloved ...

in a 'bunny' suit, would you?

[sheshe2]

8. Protest to stay closed by going out to protest?

No. Nope. Nada.

10. There have been, they just don't get the same attention

There was protest against Kemp in GA

Somewhere else that I don't recall - they were driving around in their cars. Saw it on tv, just don't remember which state.

11. don't think you're at lower risk just because of your age

this virus can tear you up and toss you in an early grave at ANY age. You could lose a leg, have holes in your lung, or suffer neurolgical issues IF you live. Think about that and then realize - there's no cure, there's no vaccine.

[pstokely]

17. I don't have any underlying medical conditions

but I don't even go much to begin and wear masks the few times I go into any store

[msongs]

12. because the open crowd are white supremacist trump supporters nt

[2naSalit]

14. okay, one more... What's the point of

assembling in public when supporting the stay home order means just staying home?

So we actually are doing just that and staying home.

15. The media should report on the numbers of people abiding by the quarantine/isolation orders to give

context to the far greater number of people staying in compared to the small groups of anti-quarantine protesters who are grabbing all of the attention and building on the free air time they're getting

[Newest Reality]

16. To me...

Staying home IS the protest.

[Bucky]

18. I'm protesting, but from my living room

[DrToast]

19. Think this one through

[PSPS]

20. You can pose that question at your relative's or friend's funeral.

[stopbush]

21. Why don't you jump off a bridge after your neighbor does so?

[tirebiter]

22. The silent majority

counterprotests silently

[meadowlander]

23. There will be if people are forced back to a work environment where they are unsafe.

It's only a matter of time before you start getting organised walk outs at the meat packing plants, for an example.

[cwydro]

24. Lol, I'm not about to go out in a crowd to protest anything at this point in time.

I’ll just stay home.
