That is one of many possible reasons for the rise, but certainly not the cause, as you want to believe. People socializing all over town mask free eating and drinking inside played a factor. People refusing to wear masks in stores played a factor. People gathering in large groups played a factor, and the list goes on. By the way, most protesters wore masks, unlike the thousands of others who blame it all on them.

Good news my friends. Yes, the total daily cases continue to rise at a record setting pace in Texas but what the western media is not telling you is that if you use the ABP extension on Mozilla, you can bypass the commercials on a certain streaming site that starts with an H and ends with LU. It has to be Mozilla though and you have to watch on a PC/Laptop/ Tablet.
Maybe it's because I have young kids but it's been weird to me that safely reopening schools hasn't been priority 1A (behind protecting most vulnerable folks). Closing bars, gyms, and dine-in restaurants to allow for safe opening schools seems like an easy choice to me.
especially the spikes in rural counties and daycare centers. Toddlers are known for their BLM protests, though they often chant, “No justice! ... No peas!”
"But, but.... what will I post on my instagram and snapchat storiezz to show my friends I'm having a great timez?"
Some of yall in here. This is a HOAX. This is OVERBLOWN. But... if it isn't, well then, umm, it's the black people's fault! Lulzt.
No one is judging if you want to suck him off or not that’s your prerogative so how would that be homophobic ********er?
Huh, I guess they really will push for herd immunity. Would be an interesting test if it wasn't going to have such a disastrous impact on their state's medical system. Being indoors (like sane people do in super hot climates) seems to be the #1 way of spreading this crap.
