With the Black Lives Matters protests happening, Coronavirus skeptics question why there are suddenly no safety considerations. The underlying tone is that the fear was over exaggerated. The person who posted it on reddit.com/r/insanepeoplefacebook disagrees, as you can see from the comment made about the infection not being instantaneous.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
