NBC: Isn't It Glorious to See People Packed Nuts to Butts to Support Black Trans People
Also NBC News: Experts Question Safety of Trump Holding Rallies

At Morning Greatness: "Coronavirus is back, baby!"

Were you confused by the public gatherings of thousands and thousands of people after having been scolded by "public health officials" for months about staying locked up and away from work and fun? Yeah, me too. I didn't hear a peep out of Dr. Anthony Fauci or other respected virus nannies and media jesters telling these protesters and rioters they were going to KILL GRANDMA. (I did hear that I should cut off Grandma if she won’t donate to Black Lives Matter…) I didn’t hear about a dangerous SECOND WAVE or how we need to FLATTEN THE CURVE. No, sir, I did not hear about that as I watched thousands of people standing close together day after day, yelling (what about the OMGVIRUSDROPLETS) at police or law enforcement officers.

Welp, now that President Trump plans on campaigning and holding rallies the virus has become a public threat once more! Only yesterday, thousands of people gathered, ignoring social distancing guidelines to demand Black Trans Lives Matter, without deadly health consequences, while ominous warnings were featured about President Trump’s planned Tulsa campaign rally.

No public service announcements, no high profile media appearances during the weeks long protests. But now, the virus is back, baby!

Via Instapundit, the propaganda organs of the DNC are absolutely shameless:

Also via Instapundit: Conservatives were annoyed that health officials (really leftwing students who moonlight for antifa being paid minimum wage to ask intrusive questions) would be "contact tracing" for coronavirus, asking where you've been, who you've spoken with, etc.

Conservatives were jeered and attacked for their skepticism -- with many of the attacks coming from the pseudoright which always flips a coin to see if they'll join the left in attacking the right or defend the right. Despite the statistical improbability of it, the coin the pseudoright flips always tells them: "Side with the left, attack the right. Show everyone how Independent Minded you are on twitter by invariably thinking exactly as the left wants you to think."

Now personally, I think this is an important counter-pandemic measure... though I could see reasons for suspicion.

Now the left confirms all those suspicions and announces that the Left will not be asked whether they attended George Floyd protests in their own contact tracing interviews.

The army of contact tracers hired by New York City to "test and trace" new cases of coronavirus will not be asking anyone who’s tested positive for the disease whether they’ve recently attended a demonstration.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced in May that the city would hire 1,000 contact tracers, but according THE CITY, he has instructed the workers not to ask that inconvenient question.

"No person will be asked proactively if they attended a protest," Avery Cohen, a spokesperson for de Blasio told THE CITY in an email.

...

It's up to the protesters/rioters to volunteer whether any of their close contacts occurred during protests. "If a person wants to proactively offer that information, there is an opportunity for them to do so," Cohen explained.

It's almost as if the left wants to hide the numbers about how many new infections came due to the protests they supported, by not even collecting the numbers in the first place.

So pseudoconservatives -- should the right also participate, if the left is permitted to not participate? Do you have any sneering, superior scorn for your very good leftwing friends on twitter, or is that reserved for your alleged political allies on the right?

If you're thinking "Surely the blatant treatment of conservatives a serf class could not be more blantat," sorry Charlie, but you lose: Bill DeBlasio is encouraging leftwing protests while welding shut the gates of a large Jewish park to make sure that no one except the Leftwing Aristocrats that he approves of may do anything outside.

Oh and Bill DeBlasio took the day off, claiming he's too sick to work.

Is he getting tested? You know, as Trump was endlessly harassed about, even when he wasn't sick?

No, of course not.

Rules are for the peon class.
