Scholarly research would like to have a word with you.

So while there is the possibility that protests might have raised the infection rate, there is very little evidence, if any, that suggests that. There is, however, evidence for other events that have caused the infection rate of Covid-19 to soar in the United States.

It is also worth noting the amount of people who are straight refusing to wear masks, and even gathering at their own protests against masks and quarantine measures. One might suggest this continued and proliferated the spread of Covid-19. I will admit, however, that I have not seen any evidence to suggest this yet, but I would absolutely encourage researchers to investigate it.
I would also like to be clear that this isn’t a personal attack on @dcro (minus my first statement, sorry). I am sick and tired of people not taking this virus seriously in the U.S, and of people blaming public anger about systemic racism for the virus, over public indifference to the advice of all our medical professionals.
