New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio revealed Friday a 75 percent spike in coronavirus hospitalizations since a day earlier but rejected the suggestion that the spread could have been caused by massive protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd.

"I would be surprised if that's what's causing it," de Blasio said Friday of the sustained demonstrations that have broken out in the Big Apple and cities throughout the world. "I think we're much more likely in the next week [or] 10 days to see a manifestation, if there is one."

Still, de Blasio urged all demonstrators to get tested for COVID-19 and warned that protesting is risky during the pandemic.

How long does it take to show serious symptoms?

CDC implies 14 days in its COVID-19 recommendations.

[Black Agnes]

Not immune, no.

Rare cases become very ill.

She’s thin, doesn’t look unhealthy, might not even know she had it.

But they can spread it.

[cuban leaf]

From CV19? What other illnesses were involved?

if Trump hadn’t gone to that church.....

Someone that isn’t really a good Idiot is now a doctor all of a sudden.

The weather woman’s FIL had dementia. Sure it affects those with underlying issues more quickly and severely.

[cuban leaf]

Then I’m guessing she was also over 70. Old age is itself a pre-existing condition.

[sanjuanbob]

Hey! I resemble that remark.

[Balding_Eagle]

Sorry to hear that

Corona, or something else?

[cuban leaf]

Yeah, me too. ;)

I don’t take too seriously a virus that mainly just kills people already at death’s door. It is like a lion culling a herd of Gazelles. I do fee for old atheists though. .

I hope karma does it’s job.

ROFLMAO

You have to admit Wilhelm Klink has a sense of humor.

[cgbg]

Probably takes at least a week to show serious symptoms.

[TnTnTn]

Of course not...linked to the underground churches...

[gas_dr]

Mean incubation time 5.1 days

[Hildy]

Can it get any more comical? If people’s lives weren’t being destroyed I would sit back and enjoy.

[mewzilla]

I bet that, if it’s the protests, we’ll see a spike in every metro area with protests...

[DPMD]

Right, de bloviate; it’s the JOOOZ and their synagogues.

[mware]

Combination of dementia, age and corena
