It Turns Out that Protest Organizers and Protesters Can Get Coronavirus Too
[PJMedia] At least four organizers of recent protests in South Carolina have tested positive for coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
, prompting one of the main organizers to urge others to get tested.

Several protesters at the marches in downtown Columbia — in addition to similar events in Charleston and Greenville — have tested positive for the coronavirus, according to organizer Lawrence Nathaniel.

"We are asking you please go get tested immediately," Nathaniel said Sunday on Facebook.

Nathaniel’s previous political work includes organizing for the Democrats’ Tom Steyer and Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
campaigns according to his Facebook page.

He is now re-thinking protest strategy. His group was set to hold a statue-related rally but now that’s off.

"It’s time that we must step up our game. What are we doing to step up our game? We’re canceling all our protests," Nathaniel said. That includes an event that was scheduled for next Saturday, dubbed the "Take Down the Statue" protest.

Fascinating. Nathaniel is one better than the 1,000 so-called health care experts who prioritized protesting over public health (and at the same time wanted to shut down other First Amendment-protected activities such as attending church or President Trump’s rally).

#3 Funny, I had it from the highest authority that they should be out in the streets at this very moment. Bit of confusion in the ranks I suppose. At least we can pray for horrible side effects.
