Not saying that the protests aren't going to create spikes of their own, but that's not what we're seeing now (and given the incubation period of the virus, I'd expect we'll start seeing numbers going up in protest areas starting next week). --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.

So, on average, three iterations (since apparently a-/presymptomatic spread isn't a thing now). Presuming it started from a fairly small source population (especially where the demographics involved in these protests have tended to overlap quite a bit with the demographics that have generally respected stay-at-home orders, so I'd expect a lower incidence than the regional average), that's still really not all that much in an additive sense, regardless of how large a base you're working with. It's not at all hard to believe that any growth that has taken place thus far has been obscured by spikes from Memorial Day. MartianManchild posted... His whole first sentence was really try hard.
