Ex-FDA chief Scott Gottlieb warns of uptick in coronavirus infections after widespread protests

[DigitalDrifter]

Thanks to the protesters, we'll now not only see a further uptick in unemployment, but we'll likely be dealing with many more cases of the virus.

Thanks protesters, just what the country needed at this time. ******* assholes !

Washington — Scott Gottlieb, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, warned Sunday that the protests that have erupted in response to the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and brought tens of thousands to the streets nationwide could lead to a rise in coronavirus cases, just as cities and states begin easing restrictions.

"There's going to be a lot of issues coming out of what's happened in the last week, but one of them is going to be that chains of transmission will have become lit from these gatherings," Gottlieb said on "Face the Nation," adding that Minnesota, the epicenter of the protests, was already experiencing an uptick in coronavirus infections.

"This country isn't through this epidemic," Gottlieb said. "This is continuing to expand but at a much slower rate. But it's still expanding, and we still have pockets of spread in communities that aren't under good control."

Good, I hope they all die, but then of course you know they won't because the virus is nothing like the lying media have claimed. It only affects schools, small businesses and hair dressers, and sick people in nursing homes that cuomo killed.
