Evidence??  That sounds a lot like hard work, in the Internet age!   ::)

That's totally understandable.

Gathering thousands of people into one physical place for a protest and not wearing any sort of protection is not, that's just stupid. Especially since this kind of behavior could directly lead to lockdowns being extended. If people had followed directions from the start we'd be back open by now.

That video claims that 40% of the workforce is still out there, that's huge. So much for population "lockdown".

That sounds about right based on what I've seen based on freeway traffic and other things.

That's still 60% of the population that is not out there spreading things around which is substantial, and the numbers suggest it has been effective. Washington state where I live was the initial epicenter of the US infection but we locked down early and the numbers flatlined. Since then we've watched other states wait too late until numbers explode when it's too late to slow down.

You can't lock down 100%, people need food, medical care, medicine, supplies, delivery, infrastructure, etc. There's a complex supply line behind our most basic necessities, it doesn't run itself.
