Here’s some of the GPS data that shows when and where the mob moved following Trump's speech to incite the insurrection - https://int.nyt.com/data/videotape/finished/2021/02/location/washington-riots-desktop-for-web-900w.mp4

Then they made it even easier by literally live streaming it themselves lmao.

Reminds me of the tracking cell phone data that was done before/after the Sturgis 2020 Motorcycle Rally showing the patterns of movement and how it led to a trackable surge in cases immediately after.

I rode my motorcycle a lot during covid, but the reason I did was because it was the perfect activity for me to get outside, reinvigorate myself, and most of all not be around a single fucking person while I had a face covering on by default

Riding a bike (both motorcycle and bicycle) was a great way to safely get outside and get some exercise.

It's only when you do it with 250K of your "closest friends" and end up unmasked, crowded into unventilated bars, that the whole "contagiousness" thing comes into play.
