Did you know that those cops were going to kill George Floyd? Neither did I. I'm thinking that if they hadn't murdered him, there wouldn't be a discussion.
From your article:
"Of course, there are differences: A distinct majority of George Floyd protesters wore masks in many cities, even if they often crowded too close together. By contrast, many anti-lockdown protesters refused to wear masks — and their rallying cry ran directly contrary to public health officials’ instructions."
Do you feel the same about those armed militia members who marched in Michigan?
And the author ends with this:
" There is as of yet no firm evidence that protests against police violence led to noticeable spikes in infection rates. A study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found no overall rise in infections but could not rule out that infections might have risen in the age demographic of the protesters. Health officials in Houston and Los Angeles have suggested the demonstrations there led to increased infections, but they have not provided data. In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio has instructed contact tracers to ask infected people if they had been in big crowds but not if they attended any protests."
So, the answer to your question isn't available at this time.
