"Despite warnings from health officials?" You mean the ones who signed a letter saying it's okay to do protest and riot?

Or the officials who prohibited contact tracers to ask postive covids if they attended BLM or AntiFa riots

But the Trump rally will most assuredly show a spike in cases. Just watch.

Yes, strange.

At the same time:

  • “Trump’s rally was a huge egg in the face for the administration. Less than 20k people attended in a solidly red state.”

  • “Trump’s rally single handedly contributed to the entire population of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas all dying in one fell swoop, researchers state.”

The media is complete garbage.

They say it did and it took them less than 24 hours to gather that data. Their Kung Flu sure moves rapidly among MAGA supporters.

You could show them data proving otherwise. They'd just ignore it like they do mail in voter fraud.

You would show them data proving otherwise and facebook, twitter, and google would delete it because for conspiracy.

I think it was Oregon saying only whites had to wear masks because it is more damaging to non-whites. Which doesn't even make sense. If it were more harmful to non-whites shouldn't they be the ones that have to wear the masks? Anyways.

So either black people are immune to the chink flu or they will all die from it. Which is it?

That’s odd. Isn’t the virus more dangerous for POC because they don’t have the care and resources us privileged folk have?

That’s because only 1 in 4 of the rioters are black. Most are white college age guilt cucks!

Poor kids can catch it as easy as black kids... Biden, probably

But that one Trump rally in Tulsa obviously increased COVID nationwide. People that still take what the MSM says seriously shouldn’t be allowed to vote as they are obviously mentally unfit.

BULLSHIT

If they aren't spreading it, then ALL OF THIS is bullshit. We of course already knew this.

So let me get this straight. China Virus has had a much larger impact on people of color. But at the same time, people of color protesting hasn’t had an impact on spread.

What?

Something in your statement is racist. I can’t figure out which part but it’s certainly racist. Very racist. It could be the “using logic” part. I’m contacting my branch of the ACLU right now to let them know that “logic” should be carefully watched for any signs of systemic racism.

Could this be because people doing contact tracing were forbidden from asking if Covid 19 patients participated in any of the BLM protests. I’d say, hell yeah. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/de-blasio-tells-covid-contract-tracers-not-to-ask-positive-cases-if-theyve-attended-blm-protests/amp/

More testing leads to more cases. The deaths aren't increasing as fast which means covid19 is becoming less deadly

Tens of thousands of people closely packed together for weeks on end and nobody gets the virus.

But I can't go to dinner worth my wife and kids because I'll cause a pandemic.

This will all ramp up until November. The media knows no one reads the articles anymore. Headlines are what people read now to stay "informed". Unfortunately, too many people on both sides are getting degrees in headline-ology. A cursory skim through the CNN garbage:

"Our findings suggest that any direct decrease in social distancing among the subset of the population participating in the protests is more than offset by increasing social distancing behavior among others who may choose to shelter-at-home and circumvent public places while the protests are underway," the report reads.

For some reason, though, I get the feeling "spikes" only happen in the headlines following Trump rallies.

It's disheartening and demoralizing to think the media is so corrupt, but there has to be someone out there that wants to tell the truth. Even of it does mean making Trump look good.

I work in an industry riddled with leftist nitwits and if they knew I disagreed with them, they would have my head. My tactic now is to ask questions. For example, when they come at me with "see, I told you the protests wouldn't cause a spike" I ask "that's great, why and what were the parameters of the study?" My favorite thing to do is watch idiots (on both sides, by the way, but mainly leftists) squirm as they try to answer simple questions.

Sorry for the rambling. I'm more wound up than usual this morning. Just remember, the elites want the Divide. That's the only way they can conquer us.

Sure. I mean a well conducted study is easily pulled off in two weeks admist chaos and there's no way you just pulled this out of your ass.

LibertyPrime2020 2 points ago +2 / -0

I thought covid disproportionately affected minority communities? So how does it stand to reason that tens of thousands of the most highly affected population crowded together in the streets doesn't contribute to more covid cases? It's almost like everything is they say is total bullshit.

Guys, this one is accurate. COVID is predominantly dangerous to narrow groups such old white people in nursing homes in states with democrat governors or black people with comorbidities such as obesity or diabetes. These rioters and looters are almost entirely young middle class white kids so even if they get the coronas they are asymptomatic.

Looks like it’s time to open everything back to 100%! They’re telling us that mass gatherings aren’t spreading the virus. Great!

That's not what is being reported in Houston:

https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/24/houston-coronavirus-protests-medical-center-warns-system-capacity/

The largest medical center in Houston warned Wednesday that the city’s hospital capacity could soon become overrun amid a coronavirus surge driven by younger patients being admitted to hospitals.

Some of the protesters that joined the large demonstrations in the city began testing positive for coronavirus by mid-June, according to local news reports. “I actually got sick the day after the march,” said Shamone Turner, who attended a 60,000-person march on June 1. “I could not move out of the bed. I was in the bed just sighing.”

More detail here:

https://www.fox26houston.com/news/houston-protesters-starting-to-test-positive-for-covid-19

According to Turner, several of her friends with her at the march also tested positive for the Coronavirus. Turner says they were all wearing masks.

“If you’ve been a part of large gatherings, just go and get tested,” said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner.

[The two Turner's in this story don't appear to be related]

The mask doesn’t do shit if you’re not socially distancing and hollering.

Funny, I went through the county reports for Florida and the counties that are on the uptick in Covid cases are the same ones where there have been mass protesting and rioting for almost 4 weeks now. And since it is younger people rioting, they are also flooding the bars. I'm sure it's just a coincidence...

Hmm. So there is a rise in cases of younger people. Average age of 35. I’d like the see the average age of protestors.

sagebrushfire 1 point ago +1 / -0

The doublethink is astounding and has reached levels unheard of, even for the Left. “Hundreds of thousands of people “gathering” to either loot/destroy or actually protest HAS HAD LITTLE TO DO WITH COVID UPTICKS but Mrs. Gordon’s sewing circle planning the annual 4th of July’s Art in the Park HAS. In fact, our “researchers” have found that protesting police brutality actually makes you immune to COVID while running bake sales contributes to at least 3.9 million COVID deaths/minute.”

These people are lunatics.

So who do we blame for the spikes that they use to justify slowing down reopening and continued draconian measures?

Weren't they doing a contact tracing and were told to not ask if they attended a protest?

Health officials signed off on the protests even though many of them never wore masks and were packed together.

All America watched this. Everyone.

Well at least the news here in oz did specifically blame Victoria's covid spike on the BLM riot.
