#2 The last place I would except food from a Masked Stranger would be at an ANTI-FA Rally.

It could have anything from LSD to Cyanide.

#3 Passing out THC cookies is much more noble than smashing private property. (Poor Jeff Sessions...time for another viewing of Reefer Madness, eh, Jeffie?)

#4 Why are they worried? Everyone knows that COVID19 only spreads at unapproved events like Trump rallies, church services, etc. Antifa riots are virus free.

#5 And I must have missed the reports on the ever-rising death toll from those tens of thousands who attended the Sturgis, SD, motorcycle rally several weeks ago.

Here you are Clem.

Although, to the best of my knowledge, the current data is that outside gatherings are low risk - you need a serious dose of the virus to become infected.

The variation in the speed and intensity of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and severity of the
resulting COVID-19 disease are still imperfectly understood. We postulate a dose-response
relationship in COVID-19, and that ―the dose of virus in the initial inoculum‖ is an important
missing link in understanding several incompletely explained observations in COVID-19 as a factor in transmission dynamics and severity of disease. We hypothesize that: (1) Viral dose in inoculum is related to severity of disease, (2) Severity of disease is related to transmission potential, and (3) In certain contexts, chains of severe cases can build up to severe local outbreaks, and large-scale intensive epidemics. Considerable evidence from other infectious diseases substantiates this hypothesis and recent evidence from COVID-19 points in the same direction. If proven, our hypothesis could explain several of these lacunae in understanding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and strengthen the scientific basis for deciding priority containment measures in various contexts.
And that, IMO, explains why masks work.

#8 Have not posted the C-19 tally for last 7 days for a while .... Here goes.

For the 7 day period Updated October 23, 2020

25,660 people in the USA died from ALL causes and of that 1,035 are claimed to have died from only C-19.

SO, C-19 accounted for just less than 1/25th of all deaths in the USA for the reported period.

So out of a population of 342,000,000 (342M) the C-19 killed 0.00030350877192982455 of %1 of the population during this time frame.

Or, if you are an optimist C-19 DID NOT KILL 99.99969649122807% of the US population for the last reported time frame.

YEAR TO DATE FIGURES
8,553,827 Infected out of 342 Million over the last 285+ days. Records claim 224,221 to have died from C-19 and other issues.

Year to Date Odds of dying form the C-19 0.06556169590643274 of 1%

Year to Date Odds of NOT dying from the C-19 99.93443830409357%

While we have had clams of 8,553,827 Infected that equals 2.50% of the USA Population that got the C-19. Of the 8,553,827 claimed infected 224,221 are claimed to have died due the C-19.

That equals 2.62% died IF they were unlucky enough to be part of 2.50% that even got infected.

OH! BTW: we have also started 2020-2021 flu season.

#9 Comment #6 pointed Clem to an "Independent" source. I don't trust the "Independent". Why, you might ask? Here is one of their two headliners:

Robert Fisk is The Independent’s multi-award-winning Middle East correspondent, based in Beirut. He has lived in the Arab world for more than 40 years, covering the war in Syria and Lebanon, five Israeli invasions, the Iran-Iraq war, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Algerian civil war, Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, the Bosnian and Kosovo wars, the American invasion and occupation of Iraq and the 2011 Arab revolutions.

Yes, THAT Robert Fisk.
