As thousands of demonstrators continue to protest the killing of George Floyd, health experts are worried that a second wave of COVID-19 infections could be sparked by the mass gatherings.

Health authorities warn protesters to quarantine after protests due to coronavirus risks as a new study finds wearing masks and social distancing do lower the risk of catching or spreading coronavirusAs thousands of demonstrators continue to protest the killing of George Floyd, health experts are worried that a second wave of"What we have here is a very unfortunate experiment going on with COVID virus transmission," said Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease...

Tear gas fills the air as protesters rally outside the White House against the death in Minneapolis police custody of George Floyd, in Washington, D.C., May 31, 2020. The risk is even more pronounced when factoring in the more than 5,600 demonstrators who have been arrested,Not only are jails crowded indoor spaces, but protesters sat in vehicles at close range for an extended period of time, which increases the risk for onward transmission of the virus, Osterholm explained.If history is any indication of how this might play out, we need look no further than the 1918 flu pandemic.

To be fair to the Democrat run areas: They already killed their most vulnerable off weeks ago by intentionally putting the virus into their nursing homes.

So right.

greta It is what Democrats want.

greta Ya think!

greta Hummmm ..... maybe that’s a strategy by the Left. The Virus Mind Control was petering out ......

B.S.

We Must Form A Citizens Group With Every Race Represented At The Top. We'll Number In The Millions & Be Able To Instantly Boycott & End Greedy Companies. Be Able To Influence Elections & Be The Real Leaders Of This Country. We've Given Away Our Rights, Now Let's Take Them Back!

This is not a protest it’s anarchy fed by a mainstream media that took a local horrific event & incited it to the level of a national embarrassment. The media is stoking a false narrative about racism designed to turn Americans each other.

Man y’all already knew there was gonna be a second round!! Cops are killing us faster then the dam virus !!!

These are’t demonstrators. These are criminal THUGS! Get it right!

Yet the government arrests hair stylists. It’s ok to let criminal looters riot I guess

Do these protesters not care about old people?

Ya think?!? 🤗

Who cares given a death rate of 1% ?

COVID LOLOLOLOLOL

I've just been informed looting and destroying in the name of social justice was more important than healthcare capacity or the lives of the elderly.

Ya think?!

Shouldn’t these grandma killers be protesting by mail?

It doesn’t take an expert to figure this 2nd wave coming on😂😂

This is bigger than George Floyd. It's about the terror black people experience with the policing in this country. This is not new. This has been going on for over a century. We just been ignored over and over again. They don't care!

If the system was for the people, the people would prosper more then the system. Land of the restricted.. Home of the extorted.. Life and Liberty OVER ALL!! 2020 boston tea party ! Revolt 2020 10 'good' cops letting 1 bad cop break LAW =11 bad cops !

People congregating in mass numbers during a pandemic might cause a second wave!? Who would have thunk it?

Our solution is a basic income funded by sales and trade tax on stock markets...wages indexed tied to corporate profits that allow worker/consumers to keep up with growth. Poverty result of concentrated wealth barriers to good incomes racism ageism discrimination
