Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced Sunday that the state had set a grim record with 273 new confirmed cases of the coronavirus, the highest single-day rise to date. Kentucky's increase in infected individuals comes after protesters took to the streets throughout the week to call for the state to be reopened.

With the 273 additional confirmed infections, Kentucky now has 2,960 cases of the novel virus and 1,122 recoveries. Beshear also announced four new deaths on Sunday, bringing the total number of fatalities across the state to 148.

This seems like a correlation is not causation example


What was the rate of increase in new cases in the week before the protests?

Yep. This article is tendentious.

Also, the OP doesn’t understand that the point of the lockdowns is NOT to 100% prevent spread, but to keep hospitals from being overrun

Protests will NOT by themselves overwhelm hospitals, so article makes no sense


What makes a large outdoor protest any different than being in a crowded lowe’s?

You can’t slap every bag of fertilizer while you’re outside.

I mean, were those 273 all tested on the same day, or is this another one of those batches of results from tests performed over a period of days? They're often a bit unclear on that point.

Nearly all of us are going to be infected at some point. This virus is a lot more widespread and a lot less lethal than we thought.

148 deaths in a state of 4.5 million people. Any idea how insignificant of a number that is?

Incubation + time to get results back = minimum 2 weeks

2 weeks =/= 1 week of protests

This is one of the most misleading agenda driving articles I’ve seen. And people wonder why Americans don’t trust the media any longer.

Why, yes. Yes, I do.

Rounded UP, it amounts to ZERO-POINT-ZERO, as the actual number is 0.000003888889.

EVERYBODY STAY INSIDE!!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!

The people who are scared should stay home, that's your right as an American and I respect that.

Avg incubation is 4-5 days, can present up to 14 days.

I have no idea what the turnaround is in Kentucky for testing

Average time to experience symptoms is 5-6 days. The tests can come back in 24-48 hours. Still, this story sounds like BS.
