Increasing numbers of Houston residents have reportedly been diagnosed with COVID-19 after attending protests against the death of George Floyd.

Large protests began in the city days after the death of Houston native Floyd, an unarmed black man who died while police custody in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25. Texas has been experiencing a surge of new COVID-19 cases. Harris County, which encompasses Houston, has been adding hundreds of new cases each day to the more than 17,000 total confirmed cases reported as of Monday.

It’s only being printed to stop further rallies for the President. Otherwise, it would be ignored.

The mayor of Houston was adamant that the uptick in cases were NOT to be attributed to the gathering of protesters.
Yes he is a democrat.

They won’t know in New York. The contact tracers are not allowed to ask about protest attendance.

Demonstrates the the contact tracing program is run by liberal lawyers. One of the rules in the courtroom is to never ask a question when you don’t want to hear the answer.

oh yeah. thanks for reminding :)

Has anyone told them that most of the public knows it’s a farce now an no deadlier than the flu?

And for healthy folks under 60 the mortality rate is quite close to zero.

Has there been any ‘peaceful’ George Floyd ‘protests’, yet?

“Newsweek can’t get their stories straight”

They’ll get ‘some help’ from the Times or Post to make sure that the FluBros get blamed.

Their mask dictator should mandate retroactive no-mask penalties of $1,000 per person per offense to fit with the new “so it is written, so it shall be done” command on Friday afternoon(6/19/20).

According to the left, they are all peaceful regardless of how many people get assaulted, burned, murdered, or robbed-

“The contact tracers are not allowed to ask about protest attendance.”

Does that apply to going to a Trump rally.

After all that is a protest against the corrupt establishment. A protest is a protest is it not?

No way this is true!

Fauci says attending protests are ok.

He says all Trump rallies however are very ‘risky’.

Good. If one can protest, one should be able to do whatever else he/she/it wants to. Just don't go to church!

Again, Whatever else he/she/it wants to do. Just do it and just don't go to church!
