    I would still consider that planned, even if it isn't planned as far in advance as something like a rally.

    There was nothing "abrupt" or "unpredictable" about the unruly America hating Marxist mobs; unless of course you're an idiot who still believes what the NYT tells you.

    A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

    But you do agree that there is a large difference between organizing, say, the "Unite the Right" rally and protesters showing up such as those in Lansing, MI to protest the lockdown? Or do you think they are the same?

    Sure, I can agree with that, although I don't see how it's relevant with regard to the spread of the virus.

    I was discussing the various levels of organizing protests and rallies, not disease vectors. In the case of spreading COVID-19 to others, it doesn't matter how the people got there. It's what they do there that determines how widespread disease can be passed.

    If they are smart they are out there dumping all the water they can on the surrounding area ahead of the show, and they will be on duty during the show to quickly put out starts before they get out of control.

    I have seen distancing and lots of mask wearing but not enough in my view. I think it is irresponsible to violate the 6' rule or not wear a mask while protesting.
