Coronavirus surges linked mostly to protests -- and proximity to US-Mexico border
Fox News ^ | 7/12/2020 | By Victor Garcia

'Protesting, sharing megaphones, screaming ... That's a setup to spread cases,' Atlas says....

The recent surges in U.S. coronavirus cases can be traced to two key factors -- crowds of protesters and proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border, Dr. Scott Atlas, a senior fellow at The Hoover Institution, said Saturday night.

Most of the cases in the Southwest -- California, Arizona and Texas -- are occuring in counties closest to the U.S.-Mexico border, Atlas told anchor Jon Scott during an appearance on on "Fox Report Weekend."

Interesting , you have seen his paper? As one who has suffered from asthma it did sound reasonable.

Where are the spikes in NYC, DC, Chicago, Seattle, Pottland?

They already have achieved herd immunity.

I listened to the full interview and glanced at the paper.

Here’s the ACWT interview video with Dr. Bartlett:

If they can riot, why can’t we rally?
If they can loot, why can’t we shop?
If they can burn, why can’t we earn?
If they can slay, why can’t we pray?
If they can throw Molotov cocktails,
why can’t we throw cocktail parties?...

Is it real or made to seem that way? How do we observers know for sure?

The virus naturally began to decline with summer weather and sunshine, allowing economies to recover and President Trump to restart his campaign.

Suddenly, BLM finds a reason to protest and it’s on: large crowds, protests, rioting, etc., and just in time for the DNC’s much needed campaign dollars ... which soon began rolling in via the BLM donations.

No surprise that the Covid numbers are also rapidly climbing, given the ‘expert’s’ warnings about crowds and masks, which were rationally ignored due to the urgent need for crowds so black lives can matter.

As an observer, I see a well-timed double bonus: a spike in DNC donations and also a spike in Covid numbers. Win Win for the DNC!

The media predictably stokes all fears, with the usual suspect Governors quickly ordering mandatory masks and the rest soon follow. What a coincidence.

Hard to argue with such a successful strategy, because it’s even more difficult to argue with fear, especially normal fears that have been raised to irrational levels in normally sane people.

Exactly the kind who will vote Demonrat, especially if there is a crisis virus in the air.

We had a spike in cases in my area of Florida...

I found a map that had the cases listed by ZIP code... Our city’s top two zip codes (of cases) appeared to be in the black community so I did a zip demographic search and sure ‘nuff - the surge WAS in the black community.

What’s the connection to riots in the North? How our police handled the ‘end result’ of the situation ... but not the beginning. Blacks were allowed to gather to protest peacefully but anything beyond that and the police steeped in...

Our city liberals/blacks attempted to get riots started (I watched it on our local 24/7 cable news channel0... and each time there were more than 30 people and the noise level went up - the police would tell them to ‘disperse’... When they didn’t cops would go in and arrest them one by one. When a new group formed the cops would do the same thing... so nothing came of it.

But, they did gather... for hours.

Or maybe black people are more susceptible to the disease - that could be it - - we don’t know because the press is uncomfortable with minorities having higher case loads.. Doesn’t fit their delusions.

Yeah, because Florida is skyrocketing because of their Mexico border. Wait, no, that can’t be the reason. But just wait 10 days for the Disney crowd to disperse throughout the nation.

What’s the positivity percent of all their testing? Texas is up to 15%.

A nurse in Nebraska said as much. She was
Fired
Doxed
And is now in hiding.

She will not be able to find a job in her field again.

Which is why they insist on closing churches but not doing anything about protests. Christians will not fight back

Montgomery County (PA) is still testing around 5%, but in the last 2 weeks the daily testing capacity has expanded. So the ‘spike’ conforms perfectly to .05 X the marginal increase in testing.

NM guv just closed inside dining again scolding residents for not enough mask wearing. There is an increase in positive tests that seem to center on a mexican border county that a lot of temp workers from MX work at and in Albuquerque where she applauded her pet UNM/BLM protests a few weeks ago. But of course you now cannot dine in because, you know, not enough mask wearing state wide. Morons all.
