About the the risk of COVID from the protests. Please note that, to date, there are very few known cases of outdoor transmission at all, but crowding 100 people into an indoors space overnight? Yes, that's how you get a spike. Jails and detention, not protesting, is the big risk.https://twitter.com/nomoniker_/status/1267611747667640321 …

Folks, please send me your stories! Did they pack people indoors after arresting them? Were you tear gassed especially at close quarters? Did they make you take your mask off? We should document this. I'll try to collate and share.https://twitter.com/boreazepam/status/1267893677109714948 …

Of course, as predicted, tons of people in my mentions are complaining to me about the lock-down rules. This is why I dislike quote-tweets. Folks, I've been arguing that parks and beaches should be open—with sensible guidelines—for months! Wrong target.

I've tried a good deal to say that much of the beach/park scolding was not evidence-based. It's also not a bad thing to change one's mind as evidence emerges but on this particular topic, I haven't just decided outdoors is less risk because of protests.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1251710115700490241 …

The outbreak in Bergamo started with an outdoor superspreading event. Not exactly low-risk.

Mardi Gras ffs. Are you high? Besides which, you think the protesters are only outside, not eating/planning/gathering/prepping in indoor spaces before/after high aerobic protesting activities, for hours on end, over days?
