A surge in coronavirus cases in and around Tulsa, Oklahoma, is probably connected to the campaign rally President Donald Trump held there last month, the city’s top health official said Wednesday.
Tulsa County reported 206 new confirmed cases Tuesday and 261 — a record high — Monday, and Dr. Bruce Dart, director of the Tulsa Health Department, said at a news conference that it was reasonable to link the spike to the rally and related events.
“The past two days we’ve had almost 500 cases, and we know we had several large events a little over two weeks ago, which is about right,” Dart said. “So I guess we just connect the dots.”
The county has more infections right now than any other in Oklahoma, and “we’ve had some significant events in the past few weeks that more than likely contributed to that,” he added.
Dart spent much of the news conference pleading with Tulsans to wear face masks — which most attendees at Trump’s rally did not — and said the department would recommend requiring masks “if we continue to see an exponential rise in cases, which, frankly, we expect over the next few days.”

And all the rioting thugs outside all over the place had nothing at all to do with it. Sure. BS.
This would seem to be easy to prove one way or the other.
I really doubt it.
Trump didnt have a rally in Texas..so um....whats their excuse
Nobody will say what it is and they spend a lot of time trying to say it isnt Black Lives Matter anarchy
The one thing I’ve learned is that Trump rallies have caused thousands of Coronavirus cases and BLM protests have never caused one case.
NYT. Of course...
Flatten the CAMPAIGN.
Stop the spread of TRUMPISM.
/s
But, of course, people go to Trump rallies because they want to cheer for Trump. I would go only to an outdoor rally.
Just like Houston, Tx. 60,000 “protesters” and according to Lame Street Media, not one case of COVID-19.
They had this announcement planned before the rally, no doubt.
No evidence offered whether it was the rally or BLM/Antifa outside disrupting people getting into the rally, but hey, it’s definitely Trump’s fault.
And explain the massive surge of cases in California, guess what, Trump was NEVER here..its ALL due to the mass protests/riots, thats why but of course they refuse to admit it
I will blame it on the TikTok braggart kids, even thought they weren’t there.
Makes about as much sense, since they offer no evidence.
Did they axe them if they were at the rally?
Maggie Astor. Poster girl for Limbaugh's theorem ?
Dang old trumpy!
I am tired of this lie that there are more cases, a surge, and hospitals are filling...lies, lies, lies.
