Donald Trump doubles down on claim anti-lockdown protesters ‘are social distancing’ as demonstrators pack together
Demonstrators stand in close proximity of one another without masks or glovesSince last week, thousands have taken to the streets in more than a dozen states to demand stay-at-home orders be lifted.
"And they're protesting and the groups I've seen have been very much spread out so I think that's good." Following yesterday's remarks, the director of the CDCP, Robert Redfield, warned that a second wave of coronavirus infections next winter could be "even more difficult", adding that the anti-lockdown protests were "not helpful".
It comes as public health officials have warned that lifting restrictions too early could lead to a spike in cases., to "liberate" on Friday — echoing the language of the protesters as others condemned their actions.
