More ambulance these days after lapse of weeks telling us the aftermath of the Labor Day weekend parties. The incubation period of this virus is around five days mostly and if those infected the virus during the Labor Day weekend should start showing the symptoms, it should be around Friday.
The use of analogy
Whenever the abstract concepts do not make sense, people use other methodologies in constructing their logic. Let's say, people use a phrase as "you'd be drowning in your own body fluids" in describing the symptoms of COVID-19. This may not be that far away from the symptoms, in this case, hard of breathing. Your lung wall thickens and oxygen won't permeate, and the low oxygen level will damage all of your organs.
What if, you'd use some metaphor such as COVID-19 attacks you like the BLM activists rioting on the street?
That is a very wrong use of a metaphor, and only the political opponents would love such an analogy. COVID -- riots -- epidemics -- hard of breathing -- death.
This very wrong use of analogy can poison the goals of those activists. Their purpose is opposing the racial disparity and their actions cannot or should not be compared with the way the virus damages your body.
Here is this: the pandemics should be feared as it is, and not in the way looting should be feared by the shop owners. Likewise, it is not your coworkers nor bossy alpha-male politicians. They certainly not the paid and volunteer activists that watch over your ways of life.
Anthropologizing an incident always comes with a risk of altering the meaning of the whole incident. Scapegoating the BLM activists for the disease is political maneuvering, and comes with a political price.
If any Administration uses our people for scapegoating their ideals, it will cost my votes.
