I have a next door neighbor in Santa Clara County, who is having his 2nd multi-family gathering within the last week.  Is that what's going on in L.A.?

That's the kind of stuff that is spreading it, that's for sure. Stupid and selfish. 

Well, that, and massive crowds, shoulder to shoulder, roaming the streets of major cities for hours while yelling loudly through marginally effective face coverings...

Interestingly, given the truly harsh things repeatedly directed at church goers and peaceful protesters a few weeks back, virtually nothing has been mentioned here about the more recent activities.  Perhaps we have a growing consensus that First Amendment rights are more worthy of consideration during the pandemic than previously admitted.

Indoors vs. outdoors.  Evidence for outdoor transmission is quite minimal at this point.  That could change after the protests, but we don't know yet.

And I've seen lots and lots written with concerns about virus transmission among protestors.  Even the liberal NY Times ran an article on that several days back.

You really need to put liberal in air quotes there, dude. That rag gave "Senator" Tom Cotton a platform to say he believes the United States military should kill American citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights.
