This is a little disingenuous, no? There are links to WSJ, Buzzfeed, and NBER in the third paragraph and many others throughout the piece. If you don't like Vox, this is still a useful collection of links. You strike me as someone willing to go beneath the surface, but maybe not?

Even the links to other Vox articles are also useful sources of external links.

I'll take a look I just -- I really want you to know this history, the whole media complex and especially Vox has been murderously disingenuous about this. They've killed people with their sneer. cc

Ok so they make 6 decent points but totally omit an actual compound estimate because they can't estimate the damage this has done on the other side, the downside risk. These include: this provides distribution between groups e.g. to jails, between cops, cops <> protestors

Permanent damage to health authorities credibility. The right is seeing this as hypocrisy from the left, they're not buying the idea that oh, it's less dangerous if it's outdoors.

Second order effects like normalisation of a wide variety of activities. Opening up bars and beaches happened after this.

There were hundreds of thousands of people who participated in the protests. Hawaii's outbreak is being blamed on it. There's a Minnesota outbreak too. It's only been OK in NYC and DC which there was an extremely strict lockdown that was observed and the numbers were lower...

In California, esp. e.g. LA there's a terrible outbreak, and this is weeks after the protests. And it is a racial issue! It is heavy in Hispanic and black communities.

The absolute biggest contributor is people who are being FORCED TO WORK ECONOMICALLY without adequate PPE. That is the single biggest contributor. But all other social or economic activities where people are in close proximity matter as much.

I think we basically see eye-to-eye on this. Just a few points I'd add. First, BLM has been willfully misconstrued by the conservative media from the start, so the fact that this persists is not especially notable.

I know! but BLM should have been smart enough to know this would happen. of course they'd be copted, misconstrued. should have pulled back from physical battles earlier Killer Mike said it. Go home. Fill out your sentences. Organize. Plot. Plan. We're in a fucked sit w/ virus
