Miami Mayor Gimenez: ‘Protests Had a Lot to Do with’ Florida Coronavirus Spike

Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez acknowledged the waves of protests and civil unrest have something to do with the current COVID-19 flare-up going on around the country.

Gimenez also blamed other gatherings for the increase, which he said included socializing at beaches, bars and restaurants.

“I think obviously the protests had a lot to do with it,” he said. “We had, you know, thousands of young people together outside, a lot of them not wearing masks. And we know when you do that, and you are talking, and you are chanting, etc., that really spreads the virus.”

If the protests are to blame for new COVID cases, how come there aren't spikes in NYC, Minneapolis, Baltimore, etc? It's not the protests, it's the idiots insisting on eating in restaurants and throwing parties.

Brilliant

We gotta' do more testing. More testing I say, that's what we need. We are gonna' test more people than anyone has ever seen. Nobody's ever seen testing like this. They say, we've never seen anything like it.
