Because it's an easy way to deligitimise the point of whomever you can point to as the cause. Whether they *literally* want a second wave, I think probably not. But it'd make saying that BLM (or whatever) is stupid easier because they can say "BLM protests are stupid because it caused a second wave". Their real reasons for thinking it's stupid can be draped with public health concerns. Lots of people are already primed to think protests right now are stupid because "it might cause a second wave", so an actual second wave happening would turn lots of those people completely against whatever the cause is. |
