It's not yet clear how the protests have impacted the spread of the coronavirus. But one study from the National Bureau of Economic Research has found no evidence that the protests have led to a spike in the number of coronavirus cases.
"We phased in the openings and we knew something like this could happen but maybe not to this extent," McCarthy, a Republican, said in an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box. "The bars but also compounded on that, the protests," McCarthy said without citing any specific evidence linking protests to a rise in cases. "When I looked at that drone view of [Los Angeles], where it was almost a mile-long shoulder-to-shoulder of people and they're expressing, they're vocal ... and now we're finding that's the easiest way to transmit to one another, the long periods of time next to one another.
Demonstrations have occurred for weeks in states like New York, but there's been a steady decline in the number of new cases since the state has moved deeper into its reopening efforts. Earlier this month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo encouraged anyone engaging in protest or demonstration to get tested for the coronavirus.
You guys should hire him! He would fit right in on the factless social media team !
Going to the beach spreads Covid-19 but massive protests without social distancing does not. The MSM has less credibility than a used car salesman. This narrative was so predictable three weeks ago.
well they're all wearing masks but we find an increase in cases in conservative states and counties that don't like donning masks.
I’d blame the Trump rally too, but only a fourth of the seats were full.
They’ve got more evidence than anything CNBC and other fake news organizations claim
You’d have to be retarded not to know that hundreds of protesters screaming in close proximity will spread the disease.
According to the Los Angeles county health commissioner they are
Just give objectivity a try for once
You don’t need evidence when you have common sense.. thousands of people all next to each other during a “global pandemic” is going to cause it to spread. How stupid do you think we are?
Facts and Data are unknown concepts to the Republicans
Oh my god, Twitter poster. Does your mom or dad work for ? Do they know you are posting on the account?
The only evidence the left will take are from liberal universities who have already abandoned science for political agendas. Use your brain, of course protesting and shouting will spread an respiratory virus, unless all of them wear respirators not just a cloth mask all the time.
Wow! Without evidence? You mean like the Evidence you lack in pushing to keep economy closed, wear useless face masks, and defund police ?
Good news! I found some evidence!
Here is your evidence.
FU.
Lying rag
embarrassment to California
But trump rallies inside don’t! Laughable!
Cause it only spreads when the media wants it too! Not for protesting or looting & ripping down statues and monuments or LGBTQ gatherings . Only spreads when people demand business open and Trump rallies! CNBC you have no credibility none!
Some city officials are preventing evidence from being collected.
you are a disgrace as journalist ............ stick to business and do not become another fake news supporting democrats and BLM
Without evidence? CNBC has been pushing hard that crowds, no social distancing, is the reason for spikes. But when a Republicans agrees, it's wrong?
'Without evidence' all of a sudden the press needs 'evidence' to make Covid-19 analysis.
That doesn’t add up. There were protest all around the globe 🌍 at the same time, and those countries have results that have flattened.
GOP facts please
this from the party that came up with the idea for what became Obamacare and are still trying to repeal it. The real story of Obamacare's birth:
You would have to be a complete idiot to think it didn’t. It’s impossible to say one mass gathering does but protests/riots does not because of masks and social distancing.
Kind of like without evidence y’all suggesting Trumps rally would do the same? Propaganda
COMING FORWARD suggests without evidence that CNBC's over politicization of every single word uttered is driving up polarization and divide. But then again correlation doesn't equal causation.
'Man suggests without evidence that sun rises in the east.'
Los Angeles cited the protests as a cause for their recent rise in cases.
How are pictures like this not evidence enough?
Really CNBC?
Did you see the picture they used in the article? The FRONT of the picture shows a guy with his mask down. Much of what happened to almost every protestor at various points throughout the protest.
any large gathering of individuals wearing no masks is driving up Covid cases
What an insanely stupid headline by CNBC.
Major gaslighting in this article.
Isn't that like saying infections aren't going up when we aren't testing? Pretty f'ing obvious that riots spread covid.
More people wear masks during protests than they do at country concerts and outdoor recreation gatherings
Without evidence, rofl! Go look at the age group and the incubation period. You guys are morons.
Isn’t that just common sense .
Now do your evidence that Trump’s ONE rally that hardly anyone attended, is responsible for killing grandma. CNBC is just CNN in a suit. Trash.
outside of the fact covid cases are on the rise, right
But isn't it common sense ? 👀
