“In the past few days, we’ve seen almost 500 new cases, and we had several large events just over two weeks ago, so I guess we just connect the dots," Dart said.A reporter who attended the Trump rally is among those who have tested positive for COVID-19, along with six of Trump's campaign staffers and two members of the Secret Service who worked in advance of the rally.
The new cases reported by the Oklahoma State Department of Health follow a record high of 858 cases that were reported on Tuesday and bring the total number of confirmed cases in the state to 17,893. The actual number of infections is thought to be much higher because many people haven’t been tested and some who get the disease don’t show symptoms.
MSNBC wrote this the day before the rally.
donwinslow Although there can be little doubt that Donald’s COVID19 circus has contributed to this spike in Tulsa, a whole bunch of ignorant Fox watching numbnuts went to bars and restaurants not wearing masks, social distancing or worrying about the “hoax” virus 🦠.
So did the protesters
Spreading Fake News is worse than spreading the virus.
Lisarebtweet1 I wonder if all of these gleeful idiots in rally photos with their big sloppy grins realize that they are forever an illustration of this gruesome chapter in American history? But, unlike the indistinct faces crowded around Hitler, their faces are glistening in high definition.
Fake news
Lying liberal media
Listen to Trump and this is what happens!
Also the other protests and riots or just the trump one? I mean c’mon - pretend to make sense.
Trump will Eventually Get the Virus, and when he does, “pack your bags boys, War’s Over” - borrowed from Saving Private Ryan
But... the BLM marches and riots had absolutely nothing to do with it Sounds like more left wing propaganda from fakenews MSDNC
donwinslow So if trump or fox says it then it’s true but if it’s cnn or msnbc then it’s fake. Sounds reasonable. This is what that drug addicted, orange psycho has done to this country. Division
Wait, “likely”? And not a word about the mobs of people in the streets, “peacefully” protesting. Then you wonder why it’s called fake news
...and yet not a single surge caused by protests... the Lord and liberal media work in mysterious ways...
msnbc = Fake News
We found several large events....but MSNBC going to push the Trump thing.
Bc trumpets don’t believe in masks
Well, color me not surprised.
Lmao Fake , fake , fake,
What is Trump's plan, does he want to wipe out America?
It’s now the Trump Virus.
I call BS !!
And the BLM protests in Tulsa that also drew thousands of people in June had no effect? Nice try,
Here we go again 🙄, it's not like the numbers haven't been on the rise...but Trump, got it...
Trump rally attendee on their death bed: “It was worth it, just to see and hear my master before I die.”
Who could have known that would happen?
TrumpWantsYouToDie to get him reelected 132,000 and counting Americans died from Coronavirus
Was there ever any doubt? Even tRump's campaign had attendees sign wavers. Everyone knew. And yet they chose to attend. So, screw 'em.
It's astonishing that no one predicted this
Likely? It's not hard to figure out. Do contact tracing.
I thought I was caused by AL Sharptons tulsa event.
DemocratsVirus VoteTrump2020 FourMoreYears
Well doesn’t that figure.
So the COVID spread is selective when it comes to mass gatherings? Gotcha. Can we negotiate with the virus to avoid the beaches at least then?
What BLM protesters didn't they contribute to the rising case numbers FAKE News ALERT
Seeing him from the back is how I want to see him walking out of the White House. Vote Biden2020.
As did the protests and come to find out, the people wearing masks are getting the virus as well. Everyone will eventually get the virus. Be afraid....
Maybe this will convince MAGATS COVID exists?!
YEP TIME HAS EXPIRED !!! THANK YOUR .... BLOODY HANDS TRUMP !!!
No surprise. Anyone with half of a brain saw that coming. Trump cult doesn't think for themselves. They are brain washed.
And it wasn’t the protestors? Right!
I thought no one showed up? Now, Trump is taking the heat 4 the protests AGAINST the very rally that he was having
But the millions marching for BLM across the US, and hundreds of millions worldwide, didn't.
I thought Trumps rally was a flop and hardly anyone showed up? So now all of a sudden it’s thousands showed up and caused an outbreak ?!?! 🤷♀️
But the George Floyd funeral & the accompanying riots & looting are never cited as ‘dramatic surge’ causes. Give me a break.
Nah, really?
Yup I know huh 🙄
TZishka Hey rally team....
and you neglect to say there where several gatherings that week. tell all the facts or don't say anything liberal comcast owned nbc
Trump doesn't care about American Citizens, only if he can use them for his gain.
Hello and the riots also!! Let’s not just do one sided reporting.... it’s disgusting and a bad look
nick_ponton Yeah, it didn’t, though
BS journalism. Seen a hundred times how protests did not contribute to virus, but convention did? BS It all did.
KattyKay_ Think how bad it would have been had the crowd not been so puny.
What a freaking lie
Any doctors dare to say that riots and protest contribute to virus spread? There is no more science. Only politics left in pandemic
Of course it did. Duuuuhhh
Everyone say “Thanks Donny.” TrumpIsANationalDisgrace TrumpKillsAmericans
No mention of rioting scum. Odd, that. Didn’t Al Sharpton have a rally there, too? Perhaps his Juneteenth event slipped your mind as unimportant? Irrelevant?Tsk tsk. Mighty racist of you, if you ask me.
Pretty predictable headline here. I’m pretty sure the article was written before the event even occurred.
At first the media played up the smaller rally crowd size, now for nefarious reasons, they’re playing up the crowd size as ambiguous thousands. But the shocker is that they published that, yes, “peaceful” protesters do spread coronavirus. They helped make the current spike.🗽🇺🇸
I guess the rioters and looters and protestors did nothing for that since only gop suporters are the only ones to be able to spread or contract the china virus
Let's not give him a statistic to brag about his crowd size.
Yes, and I’m sure it had nothing to do with all the protests!!
Duh

Dohhh ya think!!!
The virus must be prejudice. There were no problems when liberals met in a Brooklyn park on a windless day.
Since flying is now allowed, I suggest every GOP member book a flight to Florida with DeSantis, book your convention at Trumps MaraLago. Don't wear masks, don't distance, sneeze on each other and then just stay there for a month. Don't go out. Don't call 911 & invite Trump.
Not many trumpsters hitting up this article...
One rally gets this much fake news but nothing on the riots?!? 🙄
I get it, but not all the protests.
have they confirmed any of those with COVID attended the rally? or is this just some projection of two separate events?
BBaptist_30_ The Kung Flu strikes again. You can’t fix stupid
But he has nothing to worry They all signed a 'CORONA MAY KILL ME WAIVER' That's how realDonaldTrump rolls
fun fact: gathering outside for a protest is not the same as gathering indoors for a rally. Remember when Trump told us that it's far safer to be outside?
Franklin Graham has portable hospitals if you need any. We're done using them in the epicenter. We are reopened. Don't come here, please. It was a bitch. KTULNews
Well that was surprising🙄
If magas catch the virus and die it will not make me sad at all. Problem is, they will spread it to innocent people who will then spread it to their families. I look at magas as I would if we were invaded by N Koreans wanting to murder us
What, Surprise, Are You Sure? Fake News? Fake Reports
Protests
Explain why this was allowed to take place, but sporting events are not. Makes zero sense
Lying fake media!! Lying fake media!!! What about the protesters? 👎👎🙄😠
'Top Tulsa health official' is a Trump hater.
Hahaha. So, protesting, rioting, and looting have not contributed to a surge, but a pro republican rally did? Get a clue.
You do understand that virus particles are not just spread through aspiration right? The virus can also be transmitted by touch - especially from objects that an infected person has touched. This defines mob looting..Best I can recall, a whole lot of that went on.
You think?
What? There was a surge of cases in Tulsa? How could that have happened? Anyone have any ideas? 🤦🏻♂️
Trump just care about Trump
Laurie_Garrett Just a preview of the surge that will likely result from Pence's recent Texas trip with that unmasked 100-voice choir singing COVID19 to a packed church.
This is why we won’t have concerts, sports, and other public events for a very long time.
asherhuey Earth's rotation likely contributed to the sun rising in the east, and hydrogen's ability to bond likely contributes to water being wet
Wow. No one saw this coming.
Fake News.
Being a bright red state, thats a gift that keeps on giving.
Bullshit! It was the massive BLM and Antifa protests! Or have u losers conveniently forgotten?!
Fake news
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh yeah that’s it
❤❤❤❤
The United States is under international lockdown. No one wants Americans in their countries! The States lead the world by far with over 3.1 million COVID-19 cases and over 134,000 Covid deaths. That’s 1/4 of the total COVID 19 deaths in the world! Winning
I am surprised
the virus knows not of political affliations
I wonder what the average IQ at the rally was. To their credit though, I bet it was higher than Trump's.
BULLSHIT ARTISTS NBC
YEP!!
Why is this not a surprise. Everyone knew their would be a surge in Tulsa after Tulsa rally. . Trump knew it, people who attended knew it. If a person attended the rally and is sick, they don’t deserve a hospital bed or medical assistance.
Yet no increase due to protesting. I understand it was inside but not logical
But the protests and riots didn’t? Omg whah a joke you are.
OUR. PRESIDENT. IS. RESPONSIBLE. This clear as day says so. A vote for realDonaldTrump is a vote to hell or worse, a vote to destroy America for good. Do you want that? I don’t think so! So don’t vote for this asswhole! VoteTrumpOut TrumpIsANationalDisgrace
You'd think the Trump campaign team would catch on to the idea that making your own base of voters ill, is not the best way to win elections.
But the gay pride rally didn’t spread COVID. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I doubt it. There weren’t that many people there lol
Did they happen to mention the riots and protesters contribution? I forgot. Only Trump supporters can spread the virus. So ridiculous.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂. Not the protest, just the rally.
Oh..the protesting, looters, and the riots did do anything! Thanks fake news! Love how u twisted thing to make our President look bad!
but not the BLM riots, looters, protesters...
Sure, Jussie.
BBaptist_30_ He literally sent people to the Hosptal
That rally was 11 days ago. Absolute bullshit that the rally caused the increase in cases.
also in Tulsa....
Likely? How about PROOF before you report?
ava44 Meanwhile, Texas Republicans are pissed off at Houston Mayor for cancelling the convention in HOUSTON, while ICUs are at capacity. Theres no room to handle Republicans if they get sick. gop be like 🤬 'We Deserve To Get Sick! Damnit!🤯'
ETTD, every single time.
Heads up New Hampshire!
DCHomos Also, water is wet.
Saying “likely contributed' means you can say what you want without fact
Covid 19 takes a break for blm protests, pride parade, and all the looting... got it.
As did all the rioters, looters, and mobs of thugs in the multiple cities after the death of GF.
So obvious
no shit
shutdowntrump
Yah think? Duh!
SURPRISE!... Not
Shouldn't they publish a list of COVID19 positive patients that attended the rally or protests?
Yea and the riots had nothing to do with it either right!
next target: New Hampshire
