If I have a neighbor that refuses to cut their grass, the number to call is the police department. At first, this may sound harsh. But the enforcement of the county rules and regulations is done by the police department. In the case of my county, the officers sent out for such offenses are not armed and ard not in the stereotypical police vehicle.
 
I had a busy body of a neighbor who was constantly calling the cops on people for petty things like grass, too many cars in the driveway, having parties and such. One day that person had a health problem, died in their house. They weren’t found for 6 weeks because no one cared about them. No one checked on them. Because they’d drove away everyone around them.

I’ve called a few times myself. I usually wait for things to get excessive. Had a neighbor that was working on a car. I was in bed and he was revving up his engine with an especially loud exhaust system (he loved “loud pipes.”). I got up and went out and asked him to stop in a manner that also showed that I was unhappy. He stopped, but continued again like 15 minutes later. I asked the police department to ask him to stop. He stopped. That neighbor eventually moved because the police was called on the family for many other things.

I called on another neighbor after they had accumulated violations. No cut grass, accumulating garbage in the back yard, collecting non-working vehicles, and their dog’s poop was accumulating on the deck up on the second story with the smell blowing to my house. I called the police on a single violation, knowing that when they came out they would see the other violations. Three days later it was all handled.

That’s said. It sounds like not only had they driven neighbors away, they might not have had friends to check on them. I live 20 miles or so from some of my closest friends. If we dont hear from each other for more than a day (unless the absence was expected) we check on each other.

I had a friend that was jailed under false accusation and found her through the last known location on her phone.

Pandemic deniers SHOULD be reported as detriments to society.

So using your definition…are governors and mayors (and others) who allow protests with unlimited numbers of people also pandemic deniers? Is Pelosi, Lightfoot, DeBlasio, Newsom, and a whole host of others politicians pandemic deniers?

If so, do you support the police arresting them?
or
Do you support a double standard where certain Americans with favorable politics are allowed to be Covid deniers, and everybody else are subject to laws that those who impose them are not subject to?
 
Ugh! One of those Plandemic spam posters is back! I’ve reported it. Right now it is liking almost every message on this thread.

I’ll bet there were examples during the London Blitz when the government ordered a blackout. If anyone defied the blackout during a raid and turned on their lights, you can be sure his neighbors would report him, if not do worse things to him.
 
So lets talk science.

If I do not have COVID, and I invite family members to Thanksgiving who do not have COVID, explain the science of how that is a risk to spread COVID.

Whataboutism: term used with the desire to set a double standard.

Absolutely. Those setting the double standard also deny COVID is spread by protesting for a cause they support.

They also tend to be riot-deniers
 
Mobile morgues are being brought in when needed.

I don’t recall seeing any articles indicating that mobile morgues have been brought in due to protest fatalities.

To compare the two is asinine imo.

Fwiw, I do think the protests that become violent should be dealt with much more harshly than they have been.
 
As if there’s a comparison to an identifiable threat of enemy bombers dropping live ordnance on a city to having family over for thanksgiving dinner.

So, you liken this pandemic to the Nazi bombing of London?

Yes, it is. (If “family” consists of 20 relatives you only see once a year.)

Only in the sense that it is a threat to lives, and we have a societal response to that threat.
