Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield warned Thursday that recent protests could be a “seeding event” that spreads the coronavirus and urged demonstrators to get tested.

“We really want those individuals to highly consider being evaluated and get tested, and obviously go from there, because I do think there is a potential, unfortunately, for this to be a seeding event,” Redfield said at a House Appropriations Committee hearing.

“The way to minimize that is to have each individual recognize it’s to the advantage of them to protect their loved ones to [say], ‘Hey, I was out. I need to go get tested,’” Redfield added.

  1. Only people that participate in religious services & people opening their business to customers with safety measures in effect can get ill from covid19. Oh and schools/camps too. Demonstrators & looters will never get sick or have the potential to pass on the virus to others.

  2. The worst part of all of this, is that these protesters are not listening to the 5Towns and Far Rockaway Rabbonim who very clearly assered any gatherings, especially legal safe minyanim. Such a brazen show of chutzpah. And then we wonder why the protesters and looters hate us.

  3. They mean ‘Seeding Event’ to be coronavirused.

  4. Nothing to worry about. The Mayor of NYC, DeBlasio said that protesting is ok, you can only spread the virus non small businesses and houses of worship.
