Some people appear to be bound and determined to kill off their local economies and businesses.

Businesses who are just trying to keep their employees safe and their business operational.

Hugo's Tacos is taking a break after 15 years in business, with the operator of two taco shops in Los Angeles temporarily shutting down after growing weary of battling customers who flout a California state rule and refuse to wear face masks.

While most of its patrons are respectful, a loud, maskless minority is making life miserable for workers looking to stay safe during a pandemic, the business stated on its Instagram page.

"Our taco stands are exhausted by the constant conflicts over guests refusing to wear masks. Staff have been harassed, called names, and had objects and liquids thrown at them," Hugo's said. "A mask isn't symbolic of anything other than our desire to keep our staff healthy."

Except for the pandemic neniers and MINIMIZERS, most of the civilized world has made the value judgement I keep reminding them of, death versus dollars.

Should Governments Save Lives or Jobs Amid Pandemic?

Study shows no correlation between protests and general population COVID-19 case increase
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-...ovid-case.html

June 24, 2020

In a new working paper released today, University of Colorado Denver researchers found that the recent Black Lives Matter protests did not lead to an increase in COVID-19 cases. The findings were reported by the National Bureau of Economic Research in a working paper by Andrew Friedson, Ph.D., assistant professor of economics at CU Denver, along with researchers from the Center for Health Economics and Policy Studies at San Diego State University, and Bentley University.

"This study shows that the impact of the protests on COVID-19 was not driven solely by the protest attendees," said Friedson. "The overall impact on the population depends on the behavior of the entire population, some of which increased social distancing"+
.................................................. .

The effect of Black Lives Matter protests on coronavirus cases, explained

https://www.vox.com/pages/support-now

..But multiple analyses suggest the protests are not to blame, according to what we know so far. Initial data, reported in the Wall Street Journal and BuzzFeed, found no uptick in Covid-19 cases in cities with major protests. And a recent working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) found that there was “no significant divergence in the [Covid-19] trends after the protests” in counties with protests and those without.

“There really hasn’t been an overwhelming amount of data to say we saw spikes as a result” of protests, Saskia Popescu, an infectious disease epidemiologist, told me. “That’s a good thing.”

...So what is causing the recent uptick in Covid-19 cases, which led to the US hitting its highest number of daily new cases ever this week? Experts pointed to states reopening, particularly allowing indoor gatherings — at bars, restaurants, barbershops, workplaces, and so on — in which the coronavirus is more likely to spread. Studies show that previous measures to close down such gatherings likely helped lower Covid-19 cases.

Doesn't the recent spike in coronavirus cases throughout the country concern you? Or are you happy about that too?

It didn't concern YOU when all these people were filling the streets...so it doesn't concern me now, because it's YOUR FAULT basically, for condoning people to go out and SPREAD IT FAR AND WIDE.

No FAKE STUDY will say otherwise, ESPECIALLY given the RISE IN CASES is happening with the EXACT AGE GROUP most INVOLVED with the protests, RIOTS and LOOTING....

Common sense FTW

NO FAKE DESPERATE STUDY NEEDED

It concerns them.......

Texas Medical Association reverses course and calls on GOP to cancel Houston convention as coronavirus surges

The Texas Medical Association on Tuesday called on the Republican Party of Texas to cancel its in-person July convention scheduled to take place in Houston, one of the country’s coronavirus hot spots.

The latest development comes one day after The Texas Tribune reported on the Texas Medical Association’s sponsorship of the convention, an indoor gathering that is not requiring masks of the 6,000 people expected to attend. On Monday, TMA told the Tribune that it would not rescind its sponsorship and had not called on the Republican Party to cancel its convention.

This is how I read your post:

Some people appear to be bound and determined to kill off their local economies and businesses.

Businesses who are just trying to keep their employees safe and their business operational.

XYZ Company, after 15 years in business, is temporarily shutting down after growing weary of battling looters and protesters who flout a California state rule and refuse to wear face masks and social distance.

While most of society is respectful, a loud, maskless minority is making life miserable for local business by scaring away customers, as well as looting and committing arson at random, the business stated on its Instagram page.

"Our stores are exhausted by the constant conflicts with protesters. Staff have been harassed, called names, and had objects and liquids thrown at them," Hugo's said. "A store isn't symbolic of anything other than our desire to help the community with their needs."
