  1. The spreading of the virus at public gatherings, such as protests, isn't in his purview? Than what is? Isn't it his job to protect the public from medical health risks, like a virus?

  2. Yeah, but I'm pretty sure nobody got arrested at the protests for spreading Coronavirus. Why else would people be screaming "police brutality!" as they're getting arrested? I mean, I watched a man swing a hammer into an officer face. As he was getting arrested after, people were screaming "police brutality!" So clearly arresting people for Coronavirus isn't a good enough reason, if assault with a hammer isn't

  3. I think it's pretty obvious that protests spread coronavirus. Any gathering of people increases the chance. However, protests and any public gatherings are part of the 1st Amendment. That said, yelling "fire" in a theater is dangerous and illegal. The 1st Amendment protects speech and gatherings as long as they don't directly threaten people or create injury. Mr. Jordan's arguments seem flawed in my opinion. Going to church, school, a business, etc. is not a Right in the Bill of Rights. Those are institutions that can be regulated for public safety, but public gatherings and free speech is a Right, protected under the Bill of Rights. If he wanted a better argument, he could state, for example, that protests are like "shouting fire in a theater". Protests endanger the public and thus the 1st Amendment doesn't apply. It'd be a debatable argument, but stronger than 'Democrats are hypocrites!' Congress would never get anything done if it spent all day focusing on hypocrisy of political parties...oh wait.

  5. Even people who wear masks spread it. It just doesn't travel as far
