As I noted earlier this week, the mainstream media and Democrats alike have suddenly rediscovered that the Wuhan virus is a thing, conveniently doing so the moment the Trump campaign announced President Trump would be back on the campaign trail and holding rallies later this month.
NPR provided us with a classic example:

Here we are just a few days later, and the Usual Suspects who for two weeks praised and stood in solidarity with George Floyd protesters who packed into crowded streets are at it again, this time after reporters noted that at least one of the Trump rallies comes with a “liability waiver” of sorts that alerts attendees about the risk of exposure to the Wuhan virus:

As she often does, failed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton didn’t let the opportunity to take a swipe at Trump over the waiver news go to waste:
If your rallies come with a liability waiver, you shouldn’t be holding them. https://t.co/J1BgdUec9k

The problem with Hillary Clinton taking this position is that it sorta goes contra to her position on the George Floyd marches:
This chart tells an incredible story of the power of Black Lives Matter as a mass movement.

I mean, she knows the risk of catching the Wuhan virus that existed during the protests is the same as it will be at the Trump campaign rallies, right? Right?
If your riots come with a liability waiver, you shouldn’t be holding them.

Ah, that explains why you supported massive rallies / protests last week.
Because they didn't have liability waivers. https://t.co/2WOGSdgMTW

That said, couldn’t a case be made that these rallies will be more like a block party than a campaign rally?
Relax. They're just Seattle-style Block Parties. https://t.co/zi68ygSzNY

I mean if Seattle can do it…
Bonus question:
Did Epstein's plane trips come with a liability waiver?
