A surge in coronavirus cases in and around Tulsa, Oklahoma, is probably connected to the campaign rally President Donald Trump held there last month, the city’s top health official said Wednesday.
Tulsa County reported 206 new confirmed cases Tuesday and 261 — a record high — Monday, and Dr. Bruce Dart, director of the Tulsa Health Department, said at a news conference that it was reasonable to link the spike to the rally and related events.
“The past two days we’ve had almost 500 cases, and we know we had several large events a little over two weeks ago, which is about right,” Dart said. “So I guess we just connect the dots.”
The county has more infections right now than any other in Oklahoma, and “we’ve had some significant events in the past few weeks that more than likely contributed to that,” he added.
Dart spent much of the news conference pleading with Tulsans to wear face masks — which most attendees at Trump’s rally did not — and said the department would recommend requiring masks “if we continue to see an exponential rise in cases, which, frankly, we expect over the next few days.”

But I thought attendance was basically zero ...
What about the vaunted “contact tracing”?
Don’t they KNOW for SURE where the infections occurred?
I like these medical and scientific terms like “likely” “could” and “possibly”.
Sorry Tulsa authorities. That ship has sailed.
Public protests don’t spread the disease, so public
rallies don’t either.
Can’t have it both ways.
More than likely due to more testing.
Which would be lies, deceitful info.
Let me know, otherwise...
How many Trump rally goers got sick?
Of course! Democrats politicians and their attack dogs (Antifa, BLM) are immune to the stuff.
The moon didnt shine last night.. musta been Trump’s rally ..
Yes...of course..
but riots and protesters do not spread it, wake up .
Nov..lies...votes..lies
They have gotten so vicious its hard to not bring lightening strike on them all.
I am so tired of this crap and their lies, and their are many here who are like me. Enough is enough of this crapo, and lies
“Linked” is another weasel-word that tries to imply something that doesn’t exist.
But the “COVID outbreak” in Houston had absolutely nothing to do with parading thousands to view George Floyd’s corona virus infected remains ...
“Contact tracing”....like the infamous four COVID questions asked when entering medical facilities....puts an unwarranted trust in people’s integrity: That they WILL answer the phone and that the WILL answer the questions honestly.
News Flash: PEOPLE LIE!
Doubtful. They were already trending up and July 7 was their highest point so far. The incubation period averages 5-6 days, so probably there is something else going on.
The rally they tell us that no one attended?
cases, cases, cases
and all fear minded doth shrink
cases,cases,cases
and death rate drop nary a blink
TULSA HEALTH OFFICIALS: "Trump Rally Likely' Source Of Virus Surge"
Apparently the large BLACK LIES MATTER / ANTIFA mob riots in Tulsa had nothing to do with the surge in virus cases.
That's their story and they're sticking to it!
We all know that Black Lies Matter.
