Four minutes later someone says just that:

I never said I thought Covid-19 was a nothing-burger, and I have nothing to do with the right-wing online crazies.

Nevertheless it is clear that public health experts have not been straight with us. You don't need to be a right-wing loon to see that their open letter contradicts what they have been saying until now.

Why did you personally attack me and associate me with the 4chan nutters with no basis whatsoever?

Depends on the public health officials you listen to, eh?

I agree. Mass protests during a pandemic are irresponsible although understandable, in my opinion, and the open letter people are talking about in this thread sounds to me to be pretty irresponsible as well, although I haven't read it.

I just watched a bunch of videos of demonstrations happening today all over the world. While my heart soared a little voice in the back of my head was saying "...but covid is loving this..."

I didn't attack you, I wasn't even responding to you. I was struck by the pattern match, that's all. I apologize for the offense, and wish you well.
