NEW YORK — There is little evidence that the protests that erupted after George Floyd’s death caused a significant increase in U.S. coronavirus infections, according to public health experts.
It was Phoenix, where experts say cases and hospitalizations surged after a decision by Gov. Doug Ducey to end Arizona’s stay-at-home order on May 15 and eased restrictions on businesses. Arizona residents who were cooped up for six weeks flooded Phoenix-area bar districts, ignoring social distancing guidelines.
Drawing from data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, The Associated Press reviewed trends in daily reported cases in 22 U.S. cities with protests. It found post-protest increases in several cities — including Houston and Madison, Wisconsin — where experts say other factors were more likely the main drivers.
Dave and his colleagues counted protests over three weeks in 281 cities with populations of at least 100,000. Most had protests lasting more than three days, and many had protests that had at least 1,000 participants. Another factor: Many people don't get tested unless they feel symptoms. Many protesters were young adults, who generally are less likely to get severe illness, and therefore may not have gotten tested, experts said.
Yahoo AND zero evidence that Trump Rallies spread coronavirus in US!! The biggest evidence we have found is that Yahoo wants to divide our country and will tell one lie after another to cause this division!
I was in Dallas-Fort Worth area, we were trying to have a walk and got pinned against a storefront with unmasked people screaming in our face, bullshit
What self-respecting virus would want to live on THOSE bodies?
Wrong, Wrong, look at the numbers
Cause people are lying where they be at or y’all are hiding information.
With headlines like this why on earth would anybody believe the media about anything?
Fake news would even claim that protests and riots kill coronavirus
of course your gonna side with the protest
And all evidences are found in family gatherings or religious congregations?
Yahoo news tomorrow 'pro-Trump protests cause spread of coronavirus '
Are they even trying to be credible at this point, wearing a mask is secondary to distancing, they're gonna undercut their own message with these stories
But going to the beach definitely spreads the virus? This is bogus reporting.
Woke science isn’t real science.
BULLSHIT!
Than why did all the bar and other mass gathering close? Hypocrites
Brahahahaha Brahahahaha deep breath Brahahahaha Brahahahaha
Oh it spread it like wildfire.I personally no a few idiots who have it because they decided to join the protests not knowing what they are protesting about.Just to take pictures for clout chasing.Darwin should have intervened. Anyway, I said that str8 faced to them. Fin morons
Get back to me after protesters are tested for the virus. Many do not wear masks and they don't practice social distancing. Protesters may be infected with the Coronavirus but asymptomatic. Who is testing them?
Sure
If it shows anything, it’s that wearing masks works. The states with the dramatic increase in cases seem to come from public/group gatherings without masks: bars, restaurants, parties, choirs, gyms, etc.
Just stop
Give it up. You’re no longer a news source.
Wow. Really. This biased?
