In Los Angeles, where they are now seeing over 2000 new cases a day due
to the protests, Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer at
least admitted it was “highly likely” that the
demonstrations led to the spike (Washington Examiner).
Regardless, there are
groups insisting that, magically, the protests had nothing to do with the spike
(NY Post). And while the cases have jumped, the
deaths continue to drop (Twitter).
The Wall Street Journal
editorial board explains “In any case, the health, social and economic cost
of shutting the economy again are too high. Twenty-one million Americans are
unemployed. Countless businesses and livelihoods have been destroyed. Rhode
Island reported this week that drug overdose deaths spiked 22% in the first
three months of this year” (WSJ).
