Its crazy how many people I still see believing COVID is a hoax.

Give it another 2-4 days, and watch as the infection numbers climb in the US.
The virus doesnt care if your ignorant of it, or dont belive in it. Just makes it easier for it to spread.

Millions of people out protesting in 100's of cities in the US, is bound to have a impact.
it just takes a week or so for symptoms to show, and a few days more for some of those with symptoms to get so sick they go to the hospitals and then get tested for it there.

Its been like ~4 days of protesting now, so some are probably starting to show symptoms, but not really be feeling too sick yet.
Another 2-4 days, and you'll see numbers climb (imo).

Virus doesnt stop being infectious because your out protesting.

*edit:
Its too soon, rethinking it.
A super spreader is amoung the crowd, and he infects like 50 people.... which "could" show up as daily new cases a week after.
However thats not when you really notice the numbers climb.

Its when those 50 pass it on to another 50-100 people, which in turn pass it onto another 100-200 ect.

So the effects of the protest, in terms of rappid spread, might not be super noticeable until like a month down the line.
