"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 at a press conference.
Tulsa County reported 261 new cases on Tuesday, a new record high. The state also broke records this week with 858 new cases on Tuesday and 673 on Wednesday."We continue to go up and are at a new peak," Dr. Dale Bratzler, the chief COVID-19 officer at the University of Oklahoma, told ABC News Monday.
President Donald Trump pumps his fist as he enters his first re-election campaign rally in several months in the midst of the coronavirus disease outbreak, at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, June 20, 2020. "So, the strain on our existing hospital resources remains high, as it does for the other Tulsa area acute care hospitals," he added.
Oh brother.😎
Fake news right on time
You are Activists posing as a news organization creating fiction to manipulate the people. Fear sells. Peddling fear is how you make a living. You keep people in a state of fear so they keep watching. MSMIsTheEnemyOfThePeople TellAVision MSMLies
Your claim: people get infected at rallies, but not at the demonstrations. Stop yourselves ! We are not brainless. We can think for ourselves.
But blm riots dont. So much stoopid in the msm.
The protesters and their snot rockets prob did it. They all look like Puck from Real World!
But the protesters around the country do not, because they're so damn virtuous.
Funny you don’t mention all the anti Trump supporters that were also their.
No. it's because of more testing that has been done. Quit blaming Our President Trump on the spikes of the Corona Virus. I'm surprised that he's not being accused of planting the Virus in advance wherever he plans on going. He's the greatest President we ever had.
I guess media forgot they mocked Trump for only having 6k there and half the arena empty because now they say this massive gathering is the cause of a spike. Yet I've not seen a story saying the protests caused any spike. Just Stoopid.
You people will be shut up in November! The silent majority will speak in November.
Fake News
Such bull shit
Protests may have had something to to with it too. It’s like the media is afraid to say it.
Of course
Say the same news with a history of Fake News.
Should be easy to contact trace that right? If contact tracing is not being done as backup to this claim it ain’t worth diddly squat!
Likely? Likely? Likely? How does Likely become NEWS? Why report this? Who did you inform? It was likely before the rally. News would be facts about attendees being hospitalized or at least diagnosed. I must assume from this that this did not occur and there is no evidence!
Naaaahhhhhhhhhhh
and water is wet, next
Disney says the Covid likes rallies but not protests
Total BS.
You know that stories and headlines like this help Trump. People on the fence see the media in the bag for the Dems, and they don’t like that. You did it in 2016. You are doing it now.
Lies fascist ABC! But truth, ur violent riots did contribute to the surge! The most cases are in the liberal fscist run cities where the rioting is!
See this is why the press is unreliable.... you know a lot of people only read headlines, in the article it mentions rally goers and the protestors outside as fueling the spike but you are so biased you gloss right over that in the headline. This is what makes people distrust you
It takes a really smart virus to go after just Trump supporters.
Not even close compared to all the protests and riots.
Maybe you forgot about the weeks of protests/riots around the country? FakeNews
Go Figure
Their 'denial'is making more of US sick.
Liberal media guys are soooo predictable. They are fully into politics not 'News' coronavirus
I don't think there is a decent person in this picture. As long as these people are at the top of the country, discrimination, disparity issues, coronaviruses, and the crisis of war will not go away.
Defund the ABC - NO More wasted TAX payers money
FakeNewsMedia Trump2020NowMoreThanEver LiesofLies FallCabal TheGreatAwakening
And nothing to do with the protests?
More ABC bullshit!!!!!
And riots didn’t
People going to the Walmart over the weekend for 4th of July cookout supplies could have contributed to a surge in COVID cases. This is dumb politically driven reporting.
What?!?!?!? You don’t say.
Make America Sick Again
No shit! Luckily only 1/10 of the people actually came!
🤣🤣 and I bet the dems are buying right into this
Okay, your political rallies don't spread the virus, but the other guy's rallies do spread the virus. You just encapsulated what is wrong with America and the state of journalism.
Las protestas de los delincuentes en la calle no verdad
Si si xq tú lo digas 🤮🤮🤮🤮
ABC News is unable to mention the exact number ... not information but intoxication !
Likely ?!?!
But not one person got sick from the riots all over America. ?.? Really, just how stupid do you think people are?🙃🙃😡
And yet doesn’t report rise in cases for Seattle , New York, Los Angeles, Chicago yadayadayada due to peaceful demonstrations
Interesting what about all the protests that have been going on for weeks with no mask they didn’t shed anything. I don’t know how you continue to pick and choose your narrative so the presidents rallies or disease carriers but protesters are not. Fake news
And the____ people who went to the rally...duh
Duh
This is false!!!!
This is the exact reason why people don’t trust these so called mainstream media. Biased and corrupted
Indeed not great but infected...
Where Trump goes the virus grows.
Sure blame everything on Trump. This is absurd! Trumps single appearance has caused a substantial increase, but MONTHS of protest and unrest haven't?!? This is typical 'liberal logic'.
Outside the coronavirus is kept more at bay with fresh air and the sun. Indoors with the air conditioner its pattern of air flow keep viruses aloft..
The protestors though? Anything to say about them?
Gee who would have thought that!!!
Oh my the surge realy didn’t come from our America the giant surge came from wruhan in China and surge across the globe the whole world ok tell the truth
For sure. So did protests. Just saying.
Everything he did and did not, contributed to tge surge all across the US!
Likely because you want it to-ABC
Oh yeah!!! Of course!!!
DenverChannel Obviously had nothing to do with protesters!!!! How stupid do you think people are?
But not the riots or protesters right? They were all COVID free
Is he help his cause or try to kill it
Let’s not talk about the miles of people protesting & rioting.
So a rally caused a spike but riots did not? 🤔
Ha trump rides around spreading the plague. All you liberals media and followers wake up, the story you are spreading is what will happen someday with revelation and you won’t have trump republican to blame. Just urself and try to justify why you where left behind
What else would you have expected This was predictable and also avoidable. But Trump doesn’t care about people lives. He only cares about his political agenda.
Now do the demonstrations and riots...I’ll wait
Good, we need hers immunity
Good job 🙄
RIP
BS
Not the BLM protests.. just the rally.. yup ok I see where you're going with this 🤮
No social distancing. No 😷. Indoors with limited ventilation. This was a recipe for disaster.
He knew but didn’t care. That’s why attendees had to sign so he wouldn’t get sued. Always covering his ass.
toldyouso
While rioting and looting did not. You people are Fooking stupid!
Who is surprised by this? No one.
Ya but the rioters are fine. FakeNews
Ya think?
Any bets its a democrat?
DUH !!!!
That wouldn't have surprised anyone.
Disney your biased reporting is horrible. I trust no report coming from you media as it’s always democratic slanted. Just a disgrace to Journalism with Integrity! The Op-Ed’s are not what we need, we need unbiased truthful reporting. You have a chance but are losing.
But not the riots? 🤨
Damn, keep hoping chump gets coughed on.
NO SHIT
And the protests didn’t 😂 This “news” is hilarious. No credibility at all.
Well didn't see that one coming
You dont say
Ya think.... hahahahaha...lol they did this to themselves
Ya right.. couldn’t have come from protesters!!!
This is why we can’t have sports! A billion dollar industry is shut down, but POTUS can have massive crowds with deaths attributed, and it’s ok. He’s selfish and not helping the process.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let me demonstrate the hypocrisy and dishonest corruption of ABC... This is what the said about the riots in relation to COVID
Mouth breathers w/o masks duh
How many magas are willing to die to own the libs?
So trump rallies spread covid and BLM riots don’t. Gotcha.
Why don’t they just ask if they attended the rally?
Donald and his cultists🇺🇸
Sure it was , wouldn’t expect it from the millions of protesters
So the protesters had nothing to do with it either nice
DenverChannel I doubt it. It was the rioters/protesters . Very few wore masks. The 14 day timeline fits them better,
Shouldn’t Trump have coronavirus by now?
...but not any protests, riots or looting!
Does Fox have the same headline? Start supporting realDonaldTrump
All that excellent testing is just revealing that pretty much everyone has covid and extremely rare that anyone whose not seriously ill has any problems!!
But definitely none of the protests and looting contributed to any increases 😂
Seriously?! What about the protests, rioting and looting? Why do the COVID cases only “rise” when it fits a narrative against his reelection?🙄
You are kidding?
Idiots I guess the protest had nothing to do with it though
Civil rights lawyer Leo T. says Black Lives Matter doesn't 'care about the Black lives of the 7-year-old girl in Chicago or 6-year-old in New York.” It’s goal is to tear down the American institution. If you want safe streets, you gotta vote Republican.
Of course they did! Could have assumed they would publish this headline before the rally even happy
Now do the dozens of protests where hundreds of thousands of people illegally rioted. Dare ya. Effin cowards.
You would think the virus,has a calendar reminder set up, to show up at anything, Trump related. Then hits the snooze button on any other large left gathering. Seems like it according to msm.
DUHHHH
You reported only a few showed up?
Of course they are going to say that...predictable!
But protests didn't....hmmmm odd
BS as usual - report facts for a change!
Well done. Was waiting to see which idiot would come up with this claim first. Did you ask your ' expert' about BLM protests?
that's ok....pack 'em in Donnie! COVIDIOTS
bullshit
Bullshit what about sports and protests
But protests didn’t?
This is proof it only takes a small crowd to light the COVID fire.
But riots are had no effect.
Load of crap ! How about all the protesters lining the streets ? No surge in New York or Long Island
As did the protests
* CLICK *
Well, they really need to be honest here. Yes, the rally could've been a focus BUT there were crowds out in protests daily for a week before the rally. If there's a surge in cases, should count all crowded activities
CDCDirector trumpcovid
Fear-mongering,
Hey stupid! Duh
But no mention of the mass gatherings of tens of thousands in cities across the US?
marked media bias demo black history matters slave trade krishna buddha figa rasa dunce girls swastika sauwastika Swaziland zanzibar yep s-lave trade trade winds slaved compass sounds true young street soft to hard mch orange syringe injection& extrating wanna be said the pimp
And the Al Sharpton Juneteenth celebration with thousands in attendance had nothing to do with it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Right. So his 6500 person rally saw a surge in cases but thousands of protesters nationwide in large cities, in confined areas didn't cause a surge. Sounds like crap news to me.
Oh my what a surprise! They didn’t know they were part of his InfectAmericaTour?
DenverChannel Wow. Are you guys bias at all? I'd be ashamed to print this sh$t. Do you ever look in the mirror and wonder what happened to your integrity? You should.
Sure Jan
ArrestthecopswhokilledBreonnaTaylor
Ya Right! We are well aware of the left playbook and it's gotten old.
I was wondering how many of that 500 are asymptomatic? How many of the 500 were only found because of testing? Let's not find out just blame Trump! You're a poor excuse for a 'NEWS' channel! Held Epstein report 3 yrs, didn't care how many more underage girls were raped!!
lovesnowflakes So sad. Especially since those with mild or no apparent symptoms sustain lifelong lung damage.
Ok , so for one, no one actually believes the numbers that r being put out and for 2, wondering if any covid cases arose from protesting. 🙄🤔
MAGAts can deny science but science will not deny them. Covidiots
“Likely contributed”? Ya think?
Why did health officials allow it to take place? and why are other states allowing Trump to hold gatherings?
I don't care about raw numbers of positive tests. If they are asymptomatic or not being hospitalized then it isn't as big of a deal. Death rate is declining and hospitals are not being overrun.
People need to wear Masks! 😷
But not riots. Lol, ok 👌
Wow, tens of thousands of rioters couldn't have added any right? And the worst part about this fake news is that the sheep will believe it.
Duh.
Nah it was them protests
Well no 💩!
I want to know why is Trump still President and running again? He’s an evil person who is not a president. He’s there for all he can take. He’s a NY thug who needs locked up. Definitely NOT a president! He knows NOTHING and does NOTHING!!! Our country deserves better. Yeah!
indoors, shoulder to shoulder, no one wearing masks duh hey MAGA the rallies are OUTDOORS with many wearing masks... it's not rocket science
Is this responsible leadership? Is this defending and protecting the people of th United States? WHEN will people stop defending what this man is doing? WHEN will people understand they are being used? WHEN will there be an end to this madness?
You knew that was coming. But all the routing in Florida n Texas didn’t cause the surge there
Ya think?
I guess science doesn't matter ... they said likly which means they have no idea
Tell us something we don't already know.
DenverChannel Der
Oh look, more pointless garbage from . That’s different!
No need to risk the health and safety of people to advance your political agenda. In public service, tangible and effective results or actions to address the nation's problems are needed, and not an entertainment stunt.
And what about the black lives matter protest. How was that different?
News for the feeble minded.
Another news agency reports this ! You guys are starting to show your true colors. Your a joke ! Enough already
Can we file this under duh?
FAKE NEWS! ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!
Hahahaha
So last week the 'media' reported that the protests did not cause a uptick in covid cases. This week they say a Trump rally caused a surge in cases.....look at the size of the protests ok riots then at the rally size. Are you kidding were not stupid and can do math
Likely?!? Seriously! No social distancing and no masks.. this was a no brainer!
SCAMDEMIC
Doubtful SCAMDEMIC
Ya think
Of course it did. Riots didn't but Trump's rally did. You can riot but not rally. Got it.
The new journalistic standard of 'likely' How about you wait to write it when it is positively? But of course Orange Man Bad...so anything goes
'Likely?'
ABC is propaganda. No matter what any spike will be tied to trump. It doesn’t matter how many protests are other things are going on. That is why they are fake news
LOL, making America a laughing stock, one day at a time. realDonaldTrump if we are all dead, he can have it all to himself...Douche.
Ya' think?!
6000 people packed together indoors without masks on? Cheering and yelling? Nahh, this must be fake news🙄
Lol you're all a friggin joke. Maybe the mass gatherings for weeks was a contributing factor? abcnewslies TruthMatters
Hospitals are at maximum capacity, 130,000+ American citizens are in their graves & another 3M+ are infected but Trump insists he's done one hell of a job. Mid losing ground to this pandemic he now DEMANDS children return to school - or else.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I betcha those riots and protests did too. You just aren’t reporting on that.
He DonaldTrump is the devil.
Maybe! Doubtful!
DenverChannel I was there in spirit
Please stop the propaganda!!! It will backfire in NOVEMBER
CDC tried to warm y'all
Oh and riots and looting in cities didn’t ?
But protests didn’t?! How come covid is politically motivated? More media garbage
'Likely' 🙄 EnemyOfThePeople
Yeah, not the protests and riots. These mental gymnastics the media goes through on a daily basis are not being ignored by us voters.
More lies
Night follows Day😏
Ya think?
Couldn’t have been the protestors could it...?
ASSHOLE!
ABC NEWS likely contributed to local surge in FAKENEWS
His supporters don’t have brains to wear mask. But hopefully it eliminated some 👍🏽
