The city of Tulsa is experiencing a surge in coronavirus cases, a little over 2 weeks after President Trump held a campaign rally in an indoor arena there

Dr. Bruce Dart, Executive Director of the Tulsa Health Department, said in a press conference on Wednesday there are high numbers being reported this week, with nearly 500 new cases in two days and trends are showing that those numbers will increase. There had been a 20% decline in new Covid-19 cases the week of June 28 through July 4.The Tulsa Health Department reported 266 new cases on Wednesday, bringing the total number in the county to 4,571.

" Murtaugh provided a link to CNN reporting on research suggesting that Black Lives Matter protests across the country did not lead to a jump in coronavirus cases.All of Trump's campaign staffers who attended his rally went into quarantine, however, after interacting with several colleagues who later tested positive for the virus. Multiple Secret Service officers were also instructed to self-quarantine after two of their colleagues who were on site for the rally tested positive.

😡😡😡

Had nothing to do with his rally. Just like the various 'protests' didn't transmit covid.

Omg...call in the National Guard!!! Face it CNN we are all gonna get it. Why is Zucker still there ATT?

Dont forget about all the bars that have been open too. But you dont want to talk about that CNN. It has nothing to do with Trump bashing. Right?

In other “news”🙄

Communism vs Capitalism..Black lives Matter is a known Marxist organization and they are the ones to blame

But the protests in the street didn't contribute at all? Okay fake news.

I would be holding the majority of the responsibilities on the BLM protests.

It explains how much this President hates Americans. He promotes the two pivotal things that promote the virus -not wearing masks and encouraging rallies. This emperor has no clothes. Have you ever seen worse leadership?

Oh oh FaLLEN_comic

Commercial News Network (CNN). Everytime the President speaks, this sad channel goes for a commercial break. 😎

What else happened that week

Get ready NH .....your next!

However the protestors did not cause a spike

Since Tulsa is seeing a virus surge, how many newly infected attended Trump’s spreader rally? Transparency please.

Well! There’s a big surprise.

Just stop 🙄

CNN = FAKE NEWS

Well Well I predicted that Gutless Republican Governor did not stop it. Gutless, shameful, A Puppet On A String being pulled by FAIR HAIR Trump by using a rope attached Governor nose ring Does not care about We THE PEOPLE die

You boys are pathetics.

Every area is experiencing a “surge” in positives test results. Because more people are being tested.

Just another fake reason to blame Trump!

Actually, while Oklahoma, the entire state, has experienced increases in COVID, less than 25% of those new cases occurred in Tulsa. The pct. positive tests has remained relatively flat during the same time period and deaths have declined. MORAL? Don't look to CNN for facts!

Why is Don Lemon so c*nty?

aparrently the blm protests and hooligans blocking traffic and attendees had nothing to do with their little surge.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 how about this last week, surely it was ok to protest

Yup...you could have bet on that. I’m now suspecting Trump is a carrier.

Hahahahaha, you guys are desperate

CNN , over 95% of attendees were NOT from TULSA ! Mic dropped !!! Boom !!

Lmao yeah let’s ignore the protestors in Tulsa and blame ‘Orange Man Bad’

.. and two months after protesters gathered in masses outside the venue.

Protesters had nothing to do with it. The virus only lives at Trump rallies. This is beyond pathetic.

No kidding.

Of course it is! Consequence of sheer stupidity and hubris on the part of Trump and his cult.

I thought the crowd was so small it didn’t matter.

Oh look, more fake news.

U mean 2 weeks after protests, tell the truth! We are tired of your false reporting. TheJusticeDept needs to shut down

Wow way to protect your people. Was it worth it? What was accomplished?

Political rally was inside with few if anyone wearing a mask, in close proximity, breathing re-circulated air for a prolonged of time. Protestors were outside, many wearing masks, not breathing re-circulated air. Big difference in potential exposure and virus loading.

Who could have predicted something like this? Shocking!

Suckers!

A surge? What is the 500 'new cases' as a percentage Totally dishonest to quote a, (rather small), number & not give a total figure in both numerical & as a percentage.

😂😂😂

FakeNews YOU'RE LEAVING OUT ALL THE PROTESTS in that city LIARS. CNNFakeNews EnemyOfThePeople Gaslighting Local News Station:

No surprise!!!!!! After all people had to sign indemnity forms!!

But - But - if attendance was way down like CNN orgasmed over, there shouldn't be that many new cases, right?

We now turn to cities where there was extensive rioting and mask avoidance and - WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!? - our intrepid reporters have found no such correlation!

Fortunately, they will be able to fight Covid during the summer while their immune systems are in peak condition. Others will have the opportunity to do so during the upcoming winter while simultaneously fighting the flu, and a host of other viruses.

Who cares? Give them HCQ & the problem will go away.

Yes, we already know only conservatives gathering in large groups spreads the virus. Oh and singing at church. Screeching and rioting still OK.

WOW!!! You mean it's not a hoax? Idiots ! No sympathy here!!

COVID19 had one job, and she is good at it

What happened to it being poorly attended?

Who would have know?

Nothing else happened during that time Your bias is showing.

I wonder if it’s because you now have to be tested in hospitals before any kinda surgery? 🤔. Maybe that’s why the numbers are on the rise? I heard cdc is about to no longer classify covid as a pandemic also due to Dault lowering death rate to infected

Fake news

Well I’ll be damned

The twtr thé liberal network. Only liberal tweets.

SHOCKING!!!🙄

Is the surge in protesters or attendees? Also these surges seem to follow places where crews have been, is this team the real carrier?

Lmao, but yeah .. “zero evidence” that anybody contracted any during nationwide protests and riots. Super interesting.

Spreading death where ever he goes....

Really

Damn liberals!

Not surprising. A trump rally of “dunderheads” following Trump’s careless guidance. These gatherings at rallies, beaches & bars creating these spikes are super contagious. How many times must it be said? . Everyone wear a mask & stop these gatherings.

Dumbasses

Most of the people attending didn’t live in Tulsa; however, the anti-American protestors.......

It’s not like the “rally goers” weren’t warned. Sadly others who we’re making the effort will pay the price as well.

I guess it was a good thing he only had 6,000 people show up🤭

Don’t complain, you knew what you were getting into! VP realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr nytimes NWStulsa washingtonpost JoeBiden DNC

Who cares. They deserve it

But you said that there wasn’t a lot of people there...

Rallies=bad, protests=good people should have went to a the protests where apparently they were virus free

Surge in testing=surge in coronavirus cases because everyone has this shit. Because its a coronavirus like the common cold or flu only it attacks your respiratory system and kills you faster.

Doctors should kick out all participants of trumps rally and stop treating these clowns .. tell them to go to trump and he can get rid of the virus for them and not be a burden on the doctors and nurses

And does he even care.........?

EVERYONE WHO WENT WANTED TO. IF A BLM PROTEST DIDN'T CAUSE A CHINA VIRUS SPIKE THAN A TRUMP RALLY DIDN'T EITHER. FOH WITH THAT FAKE NEWS!

Gump saw this happening!🤣

LOL

Since Covid survivors are banned from military service, wouldn’t Kanye having Covid (which he says he’s had) disqualify him from being president since that would mean he’d be the Commander in Chief of the military?

Omg!!!!! 6 new deaths, run run for your lives

Sure CNN. Only Trump people transmit the disease. No one else.

Coincidentally this article was pre-written 2 weeks ago as well.

There were protestors there first. Coughing and sneezing on everyone....

Tulsa had people protesting Trump's rally. Those protesters weren't social distancing. There's video. I saw it.

No waaaaaaay.

And let me guess.....no one saw this coming What a surprise! This country really IS in the shitter!!!

More testing you jackasses! More testing, more cases. Settle down Fake CNN.

Yah Bullshit. It’s the protestors fault

False.

FakeNews We all knew you’d report this Bullsh.

I caaaalllllll boolshit on this.

Is anyone surprised?

Protesters and other rallies surrounding the event didnt make the headline, why do you think we can’t believe a word you print cnnbrk - looks like realDonaldTrump was taking precautions CNNFakeNews

Lmao

Or... Maybe...

Oh come on enough of this left bullshit, someone would have warned Tulsa if this was a possibility.

CNN IS SO FULL OF SHIT

“A little over” 🤣🤣🤣

Didn’t see this coming.

As I recall, CNN was laughing that turnout was not good at Trump rally? Also I think dishonest CNN is forgetting to mention someone else having a rally in Tulsa the day before Trump! CNNFakeNews

Not like they couldn’t see it coming with the rally two weeks ago. COVIDIOTS.

Who could have predicted that Tulsa would experience a surge of sick people, after hosting the presidents minion like rally during the middle of a global pandemic?

TA-DA!

Not USA_1TH ha but D Trump ! Citizenship a.s.a.p. do wake up !

Lack of leadership. It permeates everywhere within the United States.

But wait you just ran a story about a guy getting COVID 2 days after they went to a bar. So what is it long or short? Can you prove it traced back to the rally?

Not the protests? Fucking liars.

Oh, what a surprise...

Where there's protest so goes Covid.

More fake propaganda. According to msm there are a bunch of areas with covid increases. Trump wasn't at all of those places. There is no data to support this other than some liberal schmuck saying so

In other news ,the sky is blue.

Karma baby 😝

Don’t forget the protests

Primarily realDonaldTrump’s fault, but also, the governor of Tulsa is to blame too! You pretty much just bent over and let realDonaldTrump “you know what” to you. Stand up for your state! It’s gonna bite you in the ass when NO ONE WORE MASKS OR SOCIAL DISTANCED!

Way to tell “a story” and not “the story”. CNN sucks

What about the riots? Or that more testing is being done nationwide

Thanks to the kpop community for doing their part to help keep those numbers low. Kpop stans do more to keep is safe than police or right-wing politicians.

And his base doesn’t care probably !!

Come on now. CNN told us nobody was there. 🤡

There’s this headline, but where is the one about the spike in cases within 10-14 days of the blm riots?

LochNessa__ My state had huge protests and didn’t have a problem. Cause they all wore masks and were careful. Unlike some maga hat wearin folk 🙄

LOL CNN you're a joke

FakeNewsMedia bias at its worst! No reports on protests and riots causing numbers to rise Always a TRUMP2020 hater. Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

Imagine that....

Really ? Are you shocked? You were warned! Don’t cry about it now 🙄

Lmao you’re running with this? Millions protesting in the street didn’t move the needle, but one indoor rally with an “underwhelming” crowd (per your own dialogue) pushes things over the edge?

You forgot to mention that no one showed up to said “rally”.

As a noted expert I can assure you that this story was written and 'in the can' two weeks ago. Oh cnn you are so predictable. realDonaldTrump really does live rent free in your head. Sad!

Are we surprised? He doesn’t care.

So are a large number of other cities where he didnt hold rallies 😂😂😂😅

Not a small rally fault. It’s the big protesters.

Surprise! Wait....no.

Dictator Dems

That means there is hope that Trump will get it

If this comes as a surprise we have miles to go.

Couldn’t be the numerous protest and riots though right?

Please mention the hundreds in the streets, yelling and chanting, which spews their spit through their masks.. if you don’t this is exactly why your called fake news..

No surprises there.We all expected that.

But no 'surge' from all the BLM demonstrations? Interesting: I guess only conservatives can now contract and spread Covid? A most interesting disease. ConradMBlack BarbaraRKay nspector4 brianlilley MooreintheAM JohnTory

🙄

PROTESTS

Hey libs! I know you’re going to see this post and be terrified. Then you’re going to yell at everyone that isn’t terrified cause they don’t think the same way you think.... have fun with that.

Kanye West Claims He's Done With Trump, Reveals He Had COVID-19The musician and clothing designer says his White House organizational model is based on the fictitious Marvel secret country of Wakanda from 'Black Panther.' Great on dumping Trump, sad on -19. Take care. Does he realize that Wakanda was founded on the basis of science? And it’s not real?I’m thinking this is an attempt by the momager for a new reality show and to boost his Gap line..and a new album. And the mental instability tears it’s ugly head again.

Trump is focused on protecting monuments and attacking sports franchises, while the White House touts his administration's COVID response. This does not reflect reality as lived by most Americans.
