BLM protests have not led to a spike in coronavirus cases: study

lack Lives Matter protests haven’t seen coronavirus cases surge in cities since the massive demonstrations began, a study says.

The new research, which was published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, found no evidence that coronavirus cases jumped in 315 cities in the weeks following the first protests.

Researchers determined that protests may have been offset by an increase in social distancing among those who decided not to march.

Using cellphone data, the study determined that more people opted to stay home “perhaps due to fear of violence from police clashes or general unrest.”

One can BLM (burn, loot, murder), but by God, one can’t go to a church service.

And yet the Governor of Virginia is insisting that theme parks be restricted to a maximum of 1000 people, which clearly there is no scientific basis for — a 10,000-person protest will spread a lot more germs than 10,000 people trying to avoid each other at a 400-acre theme park.

But a Trump rally in a megachurch led to one within 24 hours.

What incredible B.S.

I understand your frustration..... but your non-stop complaining about conservatives never doing anything really doesn’t do anything itself other than annoy and depress people.

Coumo says his NY virus tracers will NOT be asking those who get if they protested.

Guess why

Well I guess that means I can defy NC governor’s order for mandatory masks starting Friday.

So, say nothing like most everyone else and just let the country fall into the abyss? Fine.

How would they know? No one is allowed to ask a potential CoVid patient if they attended a protest recently.

I had elective surgery both last week and the week before. They grilled me about everything I’ve been doing, but they didn’t once ask if I had been to a protest. Not once.

The premise is a dumpster fire, faulty one...author is trying to get us to accept a lie-filled premise...

DON’T accept the premise!!! There is NOT a spike in cases!!!

“facemask + coronavirus + social distance” = three words meant to control us. NO, NO, NO...

The virus supports BLM and would not replicate at a protest. It waits for Trump rallies and mani pedis.

Didn’t the stock market fall big today because of a big spike in coronavirus “cases” in Texas and Florida? Which I would have thought was both from increased testing plus the riots and “protests”?

If I can riot, why can’t I rally?
If I can loot, why can’t I shop?
If I can burn, why can’t I earn?
If I can slay, why can’t I pray?
If I can throw Molotov cocktails, why can’t I throw cocktail parties?...

They don’t know. It’s a fake study running defense for Black Lives Matter.
