A top health official in Tulsa said Wednesday that President Trump's campaign rally in the city in late June, as well as the protests that accompanied it, "more than likely contributed" to a spike in coronavirus cases in the area.

"In the past few days, we've seen almost 500 new cases, and we had several large events just over two weeks ago, so I guess we just connect the dots," Tulsa City-County Health Department Director Dr. Bruce Dart told reporters on Wednesday. According to the Associated Press, Tulsa County reported 261 confirmed new cases on Monday, and 206 cases on Tuesday.

At least eight Trump campaign advance staffers and two Secret Service agents who worked in Tulsa ahead of the rally have tested positive for the virus. Although attendees had their temperature checked and masks were provided, social distancing was largely not observed and wearing masks was not mandatory.

Also, there was a federal holiday in the middle of that alleged spike.

Handy way to gin up a backlog...

Was Dr. Bruce Dart the model for Dash's teacher in "The Incredibles"?

July 9th is 5 days after July 4th... which is the time frame of symptoms.

Yep, those “health officials” really have an outstanding record on their predictions. Only liberals can take bodacious dumps on even respected science professions and turn them to shi....er...Obamastuff.

Folks, it’s way way WAY past time for us to start making liberals eat their words. And perhaps eat some of that Obamastuff.

Eat, or suffer. No, wait, eat AND suffer.

But the protestors who tried to block roads and otherwise inflict mayhem were just fine. So were the BLM protestors. Right, got it.

If your doctor says these words then run, don't walk, out of the practice. And stiff him on the bill.

Everyday is a new Trump “gotcha” headline....likely manufactured by the MSM the day before. IT is absolutely insane

When these so called health officials and/or assorted political pundits go on national publications and say these kind of things but fail or refuse to say the same thing about the ANTIFA and BLM protesters someone needs to ask them if they personally are Dimocrats or Republicans or whatever other political flavor they are at the time they say these highly inflammatory and misleading or even phony judgements. Just my two cents worth.
