[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a whole lot of evidence that the protests contributed to Covid spikes. I suspect Mr. Osterholm is politically motivated.[/quote]

I've see the reports saying there may have been some impact, and they also point to other much more high-risk, indoor activities occurring at the same time.  And I don't believe Osterholm said zero impact, just not very large.  This is in keeping with numerous reports now coming out talking about how we really need to focus on the risk from indoor activities.

Have you listened to the Osterholm Update? It's brilliant and as far as you can get from political.  He even said masks aren't a panacea and got a lot of flack for it from the left.  Sorry but he's a lot smarter than any of us.  It really speaks to where we are as a country that even experts like him are seen as political.[/quote]

COVID in CA skyrocketed. Did you not see the videos and pics of the protesters that were jam packed like sardines prior to CA's out of control COVID cases?  The spike in COVID in CA literally perfectly coincides with the timing of the protests and a 2-3 week incubation period.  The media and health authorities are just too PC to admit that the protesters contributed to the spread. [/quote]

Houston also had large protests and a big surge a few weeks after.  [/quote]

[b]And everyone in Houston attributes the surge to the protests[/b][/b].[/quote]

False.

These surges also coincide with reopening restaurants and bars.  You need to talk to the people who do contact tracing to know where the spread came from.

Governors across the country chose this summer to allow people to crowd into bars and restaurants for the sake of the economy.  You are upset that people are protesting police brutality outdoors and with masks?  That's the reason you think you should stop social distancing? 
Not the people partying at Rehoboth, Dewey and Ocean City?  Okay.  I think your priorities are way off.[/quote]

Oh you mean the contact tracers who were explicitly told NOT to ask about whether folks had attended the protests? Give me a break![/quote]
