>How long have the yellow vests gone about their shit? 70 weeks so almost a year and a half, kek >What were they protesting against? They drew up a list of 50+ points, from lower taxes on gas, more respect for elderly people, "zero homeless target" and so on - a complete hodgeppdge. And they wanted less taxes but more public spending (with no explanation about where the money would come from) >Why did they keep protesting after having gotten what they wanted and then some? Because it has become a pastime, I guess? for the small minority that still does it >How many of them were there at the height of the demonstrations? Don't remember, but not that many compared to historical, significant marches >How much of the population supported them at their height? About 2/3, this quickly dropped down when they attempted to ruin historical monuments, and even further when the elections came and they were unable to even write a coherent 'program'. It's rioting for the sake of rioting
>300 of them left during A FUCKING NATIONAL LOCKDOWN DUE TO THE GRAVEST PANDEMIC SINCE THE SPANISH FLU The bars and parks were crowded on the exact same day. And the lockdown hasn't even been announced yet...

Not him, but this hasn't been proven yet. A report mentioned that it could possibly impact fertility, but high fevers in general can impact male fertility (temporarily) because balls produce the most semen when they're cool.

>And they wanted less taxes but more public spending (with no explanation about where the money would come from) I reckon there are probably a handful of corporations operating within France that could be taxed which could generate more than enough revenue for public works spending without having to raise taxes on the average person, desu.

>they just become the laughing stock of the country they became that, and then it was forgotten. If the media in other countries still cover it, they're blowing it out of proportion (I guess that's what their readers want to read). It disappeared from the newspapers months ago, here, and I actually had to qwant it to see that, indeed, there still were some this week, 300. There also were other marches on the same day (climate, for instance) with way more people.

A Chinese study suggests that those infected can become infertile, depending on how badly the virus infects you. It's not unheard of with these type of illnesses.
