The protests are probably gonna make the second wave higher than it would have been.

Nope

Beaches this weekend









We wouldn’t stand a chance anyway, plus most people at the protests are wearing facemasks and/or observing social distancing

People are so stupid! Got a beach round the corner from me but there are so many people around I avoid it! (Smithy as your from the same town as me you will know why I wouldnt want to be on a beach with these people!)

I have seen most wearing masks at the protests but a lot arent and it looks very very crammed in(im talking about America I havent seen many photos of uk ones)

Actually the worst part is people are swimming in the sea which is morecambe bay the same sea that people in blackpool are swimming in. Seen as though blackpool is now in the top 2 covid hotspots of the UK thats a very bad idea. What if they swallow the water that an infected person has swam in. Ewwwww

Because of how water diffusion works that's not really a concern... any viral particles entering the water from an infected individual would be instantly diluted to the point of not being a realistic risk. Also it's salt water which makes it even less likely the virus could survive.

The real risk is sewage pollution; if there's untreated pollution in the water it could (in theory) carry various things. This shouldn't be a huge concern these days though - untreated sewage SHOULDN'T be getting into beach water. And if it was, you'd have more than Covid to worry about if you went swimming in it.

America doesn't even have strict lockdown that other countries had and while other countries are getting less cases and less deaths (uk included but with people going to beaches and forgetting the social distance rules we might get a second wave) america's numbers are not getting better and have been the same for weeks

I actually think the numbers may be higher in america than has been stated

When we see how big the fees are to be in hospital there I think it would stop a lot of people going to a hospital and therefore the case numbers would go unreported

Both these and people going to protests will help the virus spread
