Your title says 300k cases but the story says 30k.

As far as the rest, I'm not smart enough to poke holes in the methodology and given that the story just dropped a day or two ago, it'll probably take a little bit for someone with the wherewithal to dissect it and give any pushback.

I do think it makes sense that packing people into small areas without physical distancing and little mask use would cause at least some kind of uptick in infections in the area.  I also think it's logical to ask whether similar upticks occurred during various protest rallies and if not, why not?

An expert in politics, epidemiology, and basketball. Quite impressive !

He's actually a data analytics guy with an MA. For a reporter in those disciplines, that's pretty good.

It says reporter, not expert. How many reporters covering the pandemic do you think are epidemiologists?

Corona “deaths” have been misreported on a consistent basis, and just about everything in this “study” is pure speculation.   I wonder how many deaths are being attributed to the “peaceful” social justice demonstrations we’ve been seeing for the past several months?
