Why are you calling for a lockdown in the other thread then?If you have nothing other than your personal opinion to back up your comments, they really have no merit.
The BLM protester known to test positive wore a mask. No further infections are traceable to him.
If you wear a mask it is nearly impossible to spread droplets or produce an aerosol effect.
If your argument has legs then the AFL crowd last night at Optus stadium falls into the same camp as the BLM protests, except that we know a large number at BLM protests did wear masks.
First, you have offered nothing to back your claims, whereas I did.Back at you: external links showing your personal opinions lack merit have nothing to do with what I think.
The timing of them taking place. There were no crowds permitted at sporting events back during the initial lockdown. The protestign BLM crowds didn't have the same protocols in place as those for the sporting events.
They wouldn't be justified in Victoria at this time. That's why teams and their families are migrating to Queensland. Maybe we will revert back to another lockdown or a level-4 one, mask-wearing and all.
I have said that lockdowns are a proven successful containment strategy.Why are you calling for a lockdown in the other thread then?
There are no claims. It's known that mask-wearing is only one aspect. The authorities also look at isolating/distancing, crowd control protocols and other measures.First, you have offered nothing to back your claims, whereas I did.
Second, I asked about the logic of large sporting crowds today, and what makes them different from the BLM protests. At the time of BLM protests there was negligible community transmission. That's the case today, as well (except for Victoria and embers in NSW). However, spectators now attending sports events by and large will not be wearing masks, although a large proportion at BLM protests did.
The practical difference now is that in WA and QLD we have evidence that community transmission has been contained. We do not, however, know for certain that there is currently nobody in either State carrying the virus.
None of the above detracts from the fact that this thread is based on fabrication.
Re-read what you posted.There are no claims.
And there were none when BLM protests were occurring.I already answered you: the timing. There is no current ovbious or known outbreak in WA or QLD.
I clearly said this thread is based on fake news.Your problem is your too haughty and fixated on one idea like masks and different ideas that you dismiss as "fabrications."
You don't know that for a fact re BLM rally. No one really knows despite testing.Re-read what you posted.

You and several others have not shown otherwise and, however, seem to want to raise incidental issues.
If it was "obvious" then we would know!You don't know that for a fact re BLM rally. No one really knows despite testing.
That is the very point I made regarding the logic relating to crowds, except that unlike you I have evidenced the role of masks in mitigating spread.Maybe it's fake news; that doesn't detract from the point that wherever there are assembled crowds, there are risks whether masks are worn or not.You're the one fixated on masks.
Again, it's about probabilities or likelihoods. Like Sprawler depicted above iwth the match-carrying firebug example above. I'm not claiming where every infection comes from or arguing against masks.If it was "obvious" then we would know!

Well we might get another test of the theory next week, another BLM protest rally is scheduled for Sydney.

I wonder if masks will be compulsory, some think they aren't effective, so maybe lots won't?
I dont think its worth it regardless how safe they make it. Seen here how people will beat up and fake accusations if an out break occurs which defeats the purpose of the protest.
Having said that don't know how they can draw attention to the issue (deaths in custody) other wise.
I think the real issue with indigenous, isn't so much deaths in custody, but why so many are in custody. That is what really needs working out and has been the problem for a very long time.I dont think its worth it regardless how safe they make it.

Sporting Crowds take place at venues where the cases are virtually non-existent.External links showing your personal opinions lack merit have nothing to do with what I think.
You seem to have overlooked the basic fact that we know that asymptomatic spread occurs.
Try following your logic to justify large crowds now be allowed at sporting events.
Victorian's always know best.Sporting Crowds take place at venues where the cases are virtually non-existent.
Victoria had virtually rid itself of the disease prior to the BLM protest. Now look where we are at.
