It’s entirely possible that the people who attended protests are getting sicker, while the people who are staying home aren’t getting sick at the same rate. “We don’t have the data to answer that question,” he says.


Even though the BLM protests didn’t result in a spike in cases overall, says Friedson, that doesn’t mean you should head out and start congregating in big groups over less urgent matters. “If you’re going to have an event, I’d rather you had it outdoors, and I’d rather you wore a mask,” he says, but if possible it is still best to continue social distancing.

まだ、確定的なことは、わからないわけだけど、常識的考えて、大規模集会は控える、やったとしても、距離あけて、マスクをする、ということだろうね。
