, published this month by the National Bureau of Economic Research, used data on protests from more than 300 of the largest U.S. cities, and found no evidence that coronavirus cases grew in the weeks following the beginning of the protests.
It's still possible that protests may have caused an increase in the spread of the virus among those who attended protests, according to the report. "There are other possible explanations for our findings as well, such as avoiding travel outside the home due to additional traffic congestion or street closures, or due to lack of available activities from businesses closures near protest sites," the study reads.for coronavirus, particularly in states that have opened back up.
In California, more than 35% of confirmed cases have been recorded in just the past two weeks, Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a news conference Monday.
Sure....
Wow. More lazy journalism. Exact same opinion piece I read before.
But wasn't there a whole bunch of stuff about this virus disproportionately affecting minorities? Where did that go? Or did AOC make all of it up?
Then everyone can go back to work
So, great. Black people do not get convid 19
defundCTV
How about paying back EI surplus and readjusting hours required for work, fraud loser drug dealers. Yeah harm reduction, let’s publish that in the blood journal you frauds. You should be in jail for collecting tax dollars to be race baiters. Losers and fraud liberals.
CTV frauds 👀👀👀👀
Liberals want your TFSA cutting contribution, they are frauds who failed and want you dead before you collect RRSP accounts. They want to take from everyone, even the unborn. It’s JTCastro’s way. Frauds the product of? Blood tests. What was he doing on China’s island near Cuba?
Defund these losers, they published data supporting the idea that masks are harmful, did this for fraud liberal losers who failed to be anywhere near responsible or rational. They lied to you to buy time. White lie? Losers CTV data cherry pickers thieves and leeches and frauds👀
Then open everything back up.
So is the Father’s Day shootings in Chicago
Wrong. Seems the media are reporting on increased cases in the US.
Too early to tell. Look at the southern states. It has been more than two weeks since opening. People may be a systematic so don’t jump to these conclusions just yet!?
And if it did (which we all know it did), you all with the MSM would never report otherwise. So when's the story coming out about the rise of Coronavirus from the Trump rallies? FakeNews
Its true Only Conservatives or people that dont want to be locked down under Martial Law can spread it Right CTV?
Good. So they can keep on protesting without fear of coronavirus
Fake n!
Get them out of the streets or cops stay home maybe the Goverment learn something enough is enough,identity them and send the illegals home
And WHITES toooooo
Pretty Trump rallies will though right?
This is a fake new that got paid from Chinese Government. Their objective is to spread the Chinese virus and killing massive loved ones and frontline workers. These BLM peoples are paid by Chinese and destroy our economy and history. NEVER TRUST CHINESE AND SLEEPY JOE.
Haha but going to a swimming pool will lead to a disease come ctv get off this subject already and do some real reporting
Of course not media. The virus can’t go to a Dingbat Democrat get together. Can’t happen. The virus only goes where you tell it to. That’s called science. They asked the virus to turn off completely just for the riots. Then turn back on after. Got it.
That’s right the increases in the US came from people getting haircuts and attending church. God cTV is trash
They were all outdoors and many wore masks.
Fake news. Florida public health attributes their sharp rise in new Covid cases to Black Lives Matters protests!!!!
🙄
Coronavirus isn’t racist
Hahahaha!
Great! Let’s accelerate opening our economy (with precautions) and get these protesters jobs since they are clearly imunne to covid. No more phases. Swing the doors wide open. How about some festivals, sporting events and outdoor graduation ceremonies!
So is it safe for Trudeau to get back to work?
Proper 'research' would have to test everyone to make an accurate assessment. Anything short-of-that, in this short timeframe, is BS.
Fake News
Commie TV
And how do we prove that
KEEP TELLING YOUR SELF THAT CTV CANADA'S BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT...
ya, how predictable was that data
But people on the beach have right CTV news? you are so pathetic
I call BS on this report
Black Lives Matter 'protests' have led to how many deaths? How many businesses looted? How many businesses burned down? How many police killed & injured? But it's a 'protest' and doesn't contribute to KungFlu?
Good news then, lockdown ends! .. right?
Guess this WuhanVirus thing was blown out of proportion by fearmongering politicans and media.
While this article seems pretty sound and makes good points, which I agree with, I must ask: What would have been the response if the opposite had been found to be true? I mean, the question 'What if you're wrong?' is often asked in the pursuit of safety.
Well by this logic, gatherings of any size should be allowed, for whatever reason
the incubation period has not passed so how do we say that with confidence
Yep it only spreads if people work or shop or go out for dinner riots and protests perfectly safe. Huh weird I wonder if people should do the actual math and wake the f up
How about the Anti-Police protests?
you whites never disappoint with your white nonsense comments.. so much white entitlement and shows that white privilege is bliss.. I love salty crackers, they are delicious
Gordon is BANG on. ☺😚😏😏🤣🤣
lol
Black peoples hate while people.
So all the lockdown/social distancing hysteria was pure bullshit then...
Wait for it
As it turns out, it's hard to spread disease when everyone's wearing a mask. Who would've thought?
Interesting how COVID is only an issue for conservatives who gather
PressTitutes u posted this 3 hrs ago! You'll receive the same replies. This is TOTALLY BS! LameStreamMedia JustinVaginaLovers want 2 defend this LIE that protests, incl BlackfaceTrudeau didn't propagate Covid19 w people not keeping SocialDistance or wearing mask? CDNpoli
However, Trump rallies and any other outdoor activities, huge spikes. Thank goodness covid skips social justice warriors.
Then stop attempting to COVID-SHAME Trump for his rallies.
Neither do trump rallies then
Bullshit.
All these protest hasn’t increased or spiked cases, slightly unbelievable, but great. Let’s all get passed this then. Open everything back up, get the economy going again. If huge crowds of people isn’t spiking the number of cases, nothing will. My opinion.
Than why are numbers increasing 2 weeks later?
Maybe they are just too busy looting and burning the shops they don’t have time for the test?
Good! Bring back sporting events then!
🤣🤣🤣
blackdocscanada There were selfish people who went out for their own interest. At least with people protesting, they are doing it for the benefit of EVERYONE'S FUTURE.
Sure they have. Just like going to the beach has. They are cowards who are afraid someone will call them a racist.
Okay everyone, pandemic over. Get your butt to work
Amazing They are immune
Next headline from CTV News - “Trump Rally Leads To Worrisome Spike in Corona Virus Cases”.
Liarrrrrrr
So are you saying warnings from government are fake?
Only Trump rallies.
Bullshit!
Because it’s a plandemic CTV you know that
Yeah right but it goes rampant at a Trump political rally, and I’m really starting to believe that this is a way for the socialist agenda can be shoved down are throats.
Won’t really know the truth with liberal biased CTV and CBC reporting to ya
So what you're trying to say is that Covid only kills conservatives, liberals are exempt. Got it
FAKE NEWS CTV..
So then why this? '...Many of the emergency orders made under the state of emergency are expected to continue even after July 15, including bans on large gatherings.' Or, are woke gatherings exempt from evil viruses?
FakeNews FakeNewsAlert
Hahahahaaha ... but one rally by realDonaldTrump caused a spike the next day ... you guys are so full of 💩. FakeNoose fakenews defundctv
We’ll remember this when you start to report about the “second wave” in a few months.
COVID19 IS RACIST
Where are BLM and their protests n riots over the 2 lil 3 year olds shot dead in chigago only certain black lives matter How come CTV n CBC have not extensively covered these deaths and where's al sharpton on these kids deaths what a Friggen joke BLM are
- Of course not because we all know Covid_19 knows the difference between political affiliations 👍 FakeNews Morons
Thats because covid doesn't go to protests, costco and all grocery stores. It only goes to family gatherings over 10
Bullshit why would anyone print this garbage
Said Leah Asmelash from CNN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 CNN 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 CNN 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 I bet one person will get it that was at Trumps rally and Gov PAID / CNN will be screaming from the roof tops.
If we all agree to protest, can we open up everything please?
Really, you have to be real stupid to believe this comment. Watching people possibly getting covid19 was disturbing like watching these racists attacking people
According to virtue signaling leftists and bought off MSM there have been no riots, looting, violence, or damage to public and private property by BLM protests. Just about as believable.
Therefore social distancing and mask wearing is a bunch of crsp outside so should be scrapped if this is a fact Large crowds in close quarters is safe according to this article Let's go gather at will Thanks for all the mixed messaging from experts
It only attacks conservatives
Also CTV:
Covid is immune to BLM? Interesting
Covid-19 is a Fraud.
So an economic think tank is now releasing epidemiology findings? I call BS. Leave the medical studies to the medical community.
HahHa. Its not that bad. We dont need lockdowns.
If you believe that I've got some ocean front property in Saskatchewan to sell you.
So as long as everyone puts on a BLM t-shirt everything can go back to normal.
So let's put this virus behind us and move on !
That is surprising.
Fake news defundctv
Lol...not ALL infected ppl show symptoms. It doesn't mean they will show any symptoms. Unless ALL those protesters get to be tested, it's all assumption...It takes only ONE asymptomatic person to visit/work in a care home, guess what will happen next...
Fair enough. Now ask all levels of government why we are still being subjected to farcical restrictions on movement and commerce. One side of the street is safe but not the other? One group is safe but not the other? One business is more valuable than the other? Lies.
I'm sure if you went to a Trump rally there would of been a huge spike up. CTV you are so pathetic.
So why are beaches closed and people paying fines for going outside with their family in an empty parking lot it's got to the point where we can't believe a word you say FAKENEWS
Y'all are BIG MADDDD. You don't understand how this could be possible when your little trump rally will definitely lead to spike... Have you ever considered leftists are smarter than you?
There has been no research. Don't lie
Of course not.
But all other opening of economy has. Got it.
Toronto's fakest news
Spiking all over the US must be a coincidence
F...ot ctv's experts who go alongside their twisted so called ultra progressive agendas. Ctv will ask to all of non black drop your pants when you see black. It is worse than CBC
Because is was a HOAX!!
We can’t trust the media to report to honestly us if it did. So are right of center political rally’s ok now, with this precedent setting evidence of spread risk being low? Or can the virus pose a greater risk depending on position in political preference? Welcome to 1984.
So this was a lie...?
Does anybody actually believe this bullshit Covid-19 was bullshit to begin with, and now we're dealing with a virus that seems to protect black people, when originally it was said that blacks were more susceptible and not receiving the proper care that they needed? WTF
I guess CTV will have to apologize for its nonsensical fear mongering regarding Trump ralllies.
Bullshit! They maybe asymptomatic!
CTV News...😂😂🤣
What bullshit that is. So if they can gather in large crowds. Why can’t everyone else
So...the people outdoors at beaches and parks were bad because they spread the virus, but the protestors, looters, and those busy assaulting people were good because they didn’t in just as close quarters...
It's a smart virus, it knows only to infect for political gain.
There are a lot of masks in those crowds.
What about those in the US?
Oh no what are racist boomers gonna use as an excuse now
You are FakeNewsMediaClowns
All the news now is worthless propaganda. Paid political messages both here in Canada and in the U.S.
Lies lies and more lies
But Trump Rally's have, right CTV?!? 😂😂😍
So the virus is racist and targets black people more than whites, but if you mass protest, riot and commit acts of vandalism and anarchy in large groups, the virus stays away?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 only Trump Rallies have the coronavirus
The great media hoax
Only the increase lies in of trump has rallies . The left wing media needs to be stopped perhaps we should start looting on the reporters homes and trashing their homes ... they are responsible for alotof unrest in the world
Covid only attacks families in parks or churches..
CV19 is communal CV19 is a nursing home illness Youth, anyone upright under 80 do just fine - Covid is a COLD - Covid 19 is nothing more then a different mutation of the common cold.
Of course not, it was all those rioters and looters.
So in other words the government lied
It’s a good thing it didn’t mess with the black protests because it would have to be cancelled.
Of course Covid-19 took a knee to show solidarity 🤣
Why would we believe anything you say now? Controlling the borders was racist. Restricting flights from hotspots was xenophobic. Wearing a mask was not helpful...
The MSM is so bad at reporting 'news', they've exposed the hoax for what it is. Any critical thinker can see through the BS, the lies and the hypocrisy. Also, BLM is a domestic terrorist organization. They use violence and intimidation to push their racist political agenda.
How does CTV continue to post garbage like this? Just read the comments below your post and realize that no one is believing your garbage anymore. FakeNews
Then open the country up jerk offs
No? But millions and millions of dollars of damage and thousands of lives ruined has happened. Good trade off. BLM and ANTIFA are anarchists.
That’s odd, the media is reporting a huge bump in cases in the southern states.
But a Trump rally does 🤔
But a big big spike in marxism.
More FakeNews from CTV. What about this: Houston police see uptick in COVID cases after George Floyd protests
Ok we got your message 'you're free to go protest we need more people on the streets and we got the COVID-19 don't worry'
Mmmm hmmmmm
Here is the expert that CTV asked
There was a recent spike in numbers of Covid-19 cases in Ontario. It was reported people being tested were not asked if they had attended a BLM protest. No data. Inaccurate research.
SOC221308138 Really, then why are there upticks in Covid in places that opened to stage 2 sooner than Toronto
Not yet !
So are we admitting the hoax yet?
12 states show record spikes in coronavirus cases, so do your homework CTV
So that's it then. People can start gathering in very large crowds now. C'mon July 4th! Let's get this party started! And the Trump rallies!
Isn’t it funny how BLM completely high jacked pride? Kind of how they did last time when the stopped the parade and demanded that the event holders sign a contract to ban police.
I guess that tells us all we need to know about opening the economy back up.
ALM。All lives matters !
SOC221308138
Shark has been jumped.
SOC221308138 Of course not, it was the other crowds of 1000's. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
Duh... That's cuz the virus knows the difference between virtue signalling and haircuts
Then open everything up and let's get back to normal
Why is still in news business, Try selling snake oil, you might have better luck there
No they just destroy everything around them.
morons
The Pandemic is Over ...
They cured it !!!
When XiBC brings in 'experts' and 'researchers'
“research” right 😂
Then why are we killing our economy?!?!? Isn't anyone thinking
Fake news
Then why is the economy being punished Then why are places of worship punished Then why are places of education and health care not operational? So many whys!!! smokingmirrors
Anarchy news !
Hahaha yeah ok, but a Trump Rally is ?
But trying to use the other door to go into Safeway would infect everyone.
Yeah ok
Gfy
But I thought you reported that there was a spike in Georgia, Florida and Texas among the 20-35 year olds? What is it.
Trumps rallies have though!
Wierd how US numbers have dramatically spiked in most states.... we must riot better here in Canada 🤔
When you stated “across the country” it is assumed that meant Canada. This is US news and a US study. Misleading headline and lead sentence.
But a Trump rally will? Got it!
CTV JOINS OTHER FAKE-NEWS-MEDIA WHAT A DEAL !!
In Canada there has not been spikes. In fact, surprisingly cases still declining at a satisfactory rate. Provided we keep the borders closed, we'll be ok.
Every day there's more cases in the USA. Some states reporting record numbers. How can anyone know that this is not the result of 'peaceful demonstrations'.
But Trump Rallies do right? LOL FakeVirus
Do you get permission to write stories from trudeau or is it butts?
Number of yesterday’s said differently 🙄
CBC: Being black in Canada, 2018. 'Quebec doesn't hate you because you're black. Quebec hates you because you don't speak French.' Racism hysteria.
Because we wear masks and social distance as much as possible.
So put them all back to work already
Ctv news is paid by liberal pedophiles..fudging the numbers because they want your taxpayers money...they couldn't care less if you die..because your funeral will be taxed to death...and the black face Trudeau pedophile ring wants to take your baby's virginity..
Of course not says Trudeau's media, but it will kill your kids & family if you dare see them right?
But conservative rallies are bad to the liberal msm. Amazing virus that knows the politics of the person to infect.
The research have a big bold, liar.
Bull.... CTV I am not stupid . Report the news not propaganda
The spike in high velocity lead poisonings won't get the coverage it deserves. Mostly peaceful super spreaders!!!
CV-1984 very selective, only targets conservatives, republicans, supporters of democracy, law and order.
Sounds like the Coronavirus is picky , how else do you explain some gatherings have outbreaks and some don't?! 🤔😳😷
Because Covid is bullshit
Oh, OK. *sigh*
BREAKING NEWS: Black lives matter is declaring garage door installers as a racist group..In light of Bubba Smollet's garage pull type noose he himself installed in his Nascar garage..Bubba Smollet demands all garage pulls be removed from garages across North America..
CTV CANADA'S BIGGEST RACIST NEWS NETWORK
Lol. How very convenient. Protesting government to open the economy causes covid19 but protesting American grievances does not. Because science!
4 OF CTV RESEARCHERS LOL
I have a difficult time believing that.
How about that?
Sorry, you lost the plot.
You don't say
You just posted that the Trump rally was responsible for a spike within two days.
The ones protesting this will be the same ones protesting against getting tested duh
Fake news ?
Any leftwing cause is immune
Who are these experts
But going to the beach or attending anti lockdown protests or Trump rallies HAVE huh? C’mon how dumb do you think we are?
And you willingly report such a contrived and false study with absolutely no merit, qualification? Why?
No shit 🙄
How many have them have went and got tested? Probably almost none. So no spike if not tested eh? Or are the gov'ts now showing us how much of a fear instilled pandemic this really is?
How convenient, so in other words, time to ditch the pandemic theatre. Quarantine the vulnerable and lets move on. or is this just politics?
Perfect! Open everything up, clearly it’s safe. I guess it was true all along...
Let me guess.... experts will also find that Trump rallies resulted in HUGE SPIKE in cases......😆😆😆. Nobody believes any of this garbage anymore.
Masks work. Bottom line.
Just a spike in looting
Duh
LOL
