Anti-lock down protestors may be spreading Covid-19 as a direct result of their protest events.
It's the perfect, worst-case scenario: A group of people self-selected for being aggressively resistant to basic pandemic protections has been gathering together, commingling for a few hours, and then dispersing across a wide area with whatever hitchhiking viruses someone else may have brought in.
The Guardian wrote up the major findings, as provided to them via the Committee to Protect Medicare and VoteMap. Anonymized cellphone data was used to identify devices present at anti-lockdown rallies in five states, and track where the phones moved after those rallies. (Yes, this is a thing now. Yes, it's both very useful and rather alarming.)
