There's more chance of getting COVID by getting together with folk in someone's home. The chances of getting COVID by shopping in a supermarket while wearing a mask and social distancing are pretty low but checking in with the QR code means that you'll be tracked if you're exposed.
The chances of getting COVID by taking part in protest/riot and not wearing a mask and/or social distancing may not be high but, because no-one knows who was there and the participants are unlikely to be tested, we won't know whether it was a super-spreader event until folk are in ICU or are found dead at home.
Considering there are hundreds (not an assumption, Brett Sutton's words) of exposure sites including homes and workplaces that are not publicly listed yes the protests are less than 1%.

Although any incidents can cause a transmission, walking past someone at arms length in a sparsely populated supermarket is not the same as standing shoulder to shoulder packed in together screaming at the police for 2 hrs. That's pretty obvious!
Of course what happens next is important too, if you get in a car alone and go straight home and isolate, or if you hop on a tram or train ignoring social distancing and mask rules.
All incidents are reported as an exposure site, but it's obvious all are not equal!

The funniest part is I have been accused by the lefties on here of questioning scientific minds and their modelling (which I didn't) but only one poster on here puts up their own modelling and they never question him.
Oh wait is LP the scientific mind I shouldn't be questioning?

Oh wait is LP the scientific mind I shouldn't be questioning? I'm not sure you need science to tell the difference between those events, can I ask why you specifically believe all exposure sites are equal?
Have we had a supermarket based super spreader event yet?
Most commercial retail have had density caps and new ventilation guidelines they have to follow, and have been doing so for more than a year now, so do schools now. The two main events from schools that have caused super-spreading are because they largely ignored social distancing guidelines and packed too many students and staff into confined poorly ventilated spaces for an event.
Of course limiting the spread all only works if everyone obey the basic rules, ........... Doh!

No. Indoors is worse than outdoors.
That's why we are allowed to catch up in parks but not homes. Unless you are holding up an anti Dan sign then it's dangerous.

They were mostly protesting Setka weren't they, at least I think that is what the non-Murdoch news showed me?
They are free to protest and conduct themselves as they like, they don't get shot for protesting like in China. I suppose it's why we don't randomly walk through parks attacking young picnicking families who are wearing their masks while getting the kids some outdoor time, we don't want to be hypocrites!

Tarring every protester with that brush is like saying every cop is like that coward who walked up behind that guy and slam tackled his head into the ground.

Was that one of the guys who put a cop in the hospital first?

No and he didn't have a knife either that Dan's Facebook army tried to pretend.
The cop was suspended. If you or I did it we would be serving prison time.

That qualifies as an admission against interest by Murdoch.
