@sergiopantalone Well depends.. I did try to make it a point to state that I do support the need and intent of the Floyd protests... But I even said at the time that it was extremely reckless and irresponsible to have mass gatherings during the middle of the worst pandemic in history.. Seeing how many have died as a result of that choice has of course bothered me greatly when no one listened to the warnings that were said for months prior about public gatherings.

I also found it very insulting that no responsiblity was taken and that democrat politicians even supported the protests rather than decry it, with photos of AoC blowing bubbles in a little kids face with her mast off for example.

So is it inflamatory.. as in, people will be upset by it... yes... But when people do wreckless things that cost the lives of 57,000 people, and when they **knew** before doing it that it would cost many lives (it was what was said for many months prior).. then I think people need to be a bit upset, they did wrong, and when you do something wrong that hurts so many people it is natural to be upset, to be "inflamed", and my only hope is that people will learn from it in the future.

I dont like either extreme of the political spectrum, as you know, that includes most liberals and conservatives in america as many on each side are at the extremes of the spectrum. But what I particularly despise about the liberal half of america is the constant hypocrisy... Doing as much or more evil than the right, and then pretending like the right is the worst inarnation of said offense imaginable. In this case that took the form of them blaming Trump for the deaths and verbally or even physically abusing people for not wearing a mask (even when maintaining social distancing) and yet in the very same motion being the single biggest cause of viral proliferation we had seen to date...

I am sorry,a nd while I appreciate your kind tone... on this I feel that people being inflamed should be the least of my worries, especially when so few people recognize the death and suffering they caused

There are 2 kinds of people: those stupid enough to put people into 2 categories, and those that aren't.

So I just crunched the numbers on this post. Presuming that the protests caused the bump I pointed out in cases and deaths, and presuming the large peak at the right was provoked by some other cause, then the george floyd protests were directly responsible for killing 56,982 people, and were responsible for infecting 6,087,567 people. This is minimum, since the numbers were on the decline before the protests, and declined after the protests as well, this suggests the real numbers might even be as high as double that.

While I certainly support the idea that the George Floyd killing was wrong, and we need police reform. I can not justify the the protests or the consequences we are still suffering from it. Certainly not the **death of 57,000 people!**

If you do not include the EM radiation caused by inductive coupling of the filament with its environment (which is fairly small) then it is just a hair under 2%. Bear in mind this is radiative flux, so it doesn't account for the sensitivity of the eye to certain wavelengths.

@Demosthenes ::eyes you suspiciously:: FBI, is that you!?

Just wanted to share a little chart showing the likely effect of the mass BLM protests over George floyd compared to the COVID-19 recorded new cases count.

To be clear, I think Floyd's death was an injustice and I support the idea of opposing it at every level. But it was the number one biggest factor that caused the COVID epidemic to resurge out of control and we never recovered from the surge seen during the protest and even now this new surge we are seeing is partially fueled by the effects of those protests.

The irony here is the left have been the most vocal about COVID and blamed Trump for not seeing enough success in battling it as a central point in their entire presidential debate... yet they are also the ones who caused more loss of life and a more prolific spread of the diseases than anyone else when it served their agenda, and had the gall to try to blame that on Trump or republicans.

After seeing months of liberals abusing old ladies grocery shopping without a mask on and the like it is pretty disgusting, though typical, to see they are also the ones who caused more a problem than anyone else.

@ravenclaw Thanks for your report, account suspended.

The thing about bravery is, if you are just pretending to be brave, then you are more brave, not less :)

@mashiro

Thank you, I will review when I get a chance. If it is secure and works I will consider merging.

@noellabo

@mashiro

If you have a reasonably clean PR and point me to it i can integrate it into the QOTO fork at least.

@noellabo

@noellabo Understandable. Honestly I wouldnt normally follow an account that posts entirely in another language. But in your case I am happy to make an exception.
