Of course not. I am able to recognize that there are multiple causes to the resurgence. The protests are surely one of them.Osodecentx said:You believe the protests didn't spread the disease?Booray said:Its not inexplicable and it will be the GOPs narrative in the fall campaign: The resurgent virus is the fault of leftist protesters.LTbear said:He's been inexplicably stuck on this for quite some time. It's his new talking point.bear2be2 said:Who here tried to convince you that protests weren't threats to spread COVID-19? You keep talking about these people like there were a bunch of them. From what I've seen, most on this board acknowledged the risk, weighed it against the legitimacy of the cause and formed their opinions accordingly.Flaming Moderate said:
Sure this is fake news .... you have to be a pretty closed-minded bigot to think the virus magically does not spread during close contact if you're protesting, looting, or rioting. I mean, this is in no way controversial. Sometimes digging in makes you look foolish.

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.
But Flaming Moderate and others are going to act like the protests are the sole reason.
