Protests could have 'devastating' health impacts warns expert. 9News

Australian Medical Association President Dr Tony Bartone says mass gatherings could easily result in a second wave of the coronavirus.

"We know that community transmission is still occurring in low numbers but it is occurring in low numbers but it is occurring." Dr Bartone said the use of face masks and hand sanitiser aren't enough to keep the virus from spreading if thousands of people congregate without social distancing."It's important to also remember that the indigenous community are most susceptible, indeed very susceptible to the effects of COVID-19. We were successful in keeping it out of indigenous communities during that first wave. If it got into those communities, it would be an absolute disaster," he said.

I guess they'll learn once they're all infected.

As someone who’s caring for a Cancer patient I just hope they are being Coronavirus aware, there are many within the indigenous community who need to be protected from this virus. I respect and agree with everything they are saying I’m just hoping for no second wave. Stay safe

Yes and then they will want to be all treated in hospital if they get the virus. 😡

Pre planned from the globalists 2nd wave to restrict us further..This will be their excuse

After you medias days of incitement? Australia’s lives matter now?

They mean we’ll but are misguided to openly protest during a pandemic. This was Philadelphia in 1918 in the middle of the flu pandemic. It created a wave 2, killing more people in that city than anywhere else in the USA. We could end up there, back to lockdown. I hope not.

Whereas NOT protesting has considerably larger health impacts on everyone else in this racist country who isn’t white.

Will these protesters be foregoing their right to free medical care when they catch the 'rona? Or will they be expecting a free bed in hospital?

They don't care.

Arrest as many illegal protesters as you can. Civilised Society is with police.

Round them all up at the conclusion of the march, test each and every one. If they test positive then prosecute them.

All good, they'll find a way to blame the police,government and white men if the virus takes of again after the protests

There’re done with covid. Let’s open up!

Don't tear gas them ...canisters of hand sanitizer spray on them! blacklivesmatteraustralia

As long as they only spread it among themselves...

They do not care one iota, media has them at fever pitch and they’re itching for some excitement in their less than successful lives.

Most people that oppose the BlackLivesMatter protests around Australia would be avoiding black people anyway, so why are they so concerned about the spread of coronavirus? And it's not like those same people weren't out protesting 5G being the cause of coronavirus last week.

No shit!
