Nice conspiracy theory there. A shame it doesn't add up, though. The black lives matter occupation was relatively small here, and just a show of sympathy with the US protesters. There were never mass protests here, and because our politicians knew their job, they weren't antagonized. After a week, two weeks tops, they just stopped protesting. And this was long before a second wave even started emerging, so if I wanted to play devil's advocate, I'd use those statistics to say that we need MORE black lives matter protests to reduce our covid cases.Nearly no country handled the corona crisis well, especially not Belgium. But don't forget the second covid outbreak happened shortly after all this insane black life matter protests happened. Prior to that, the situation was pretty much under control. Belgium had under 100 new cases a day, for the US this was under 20.000 and going down fast.
No...if you really want to know, our second wave happened because of two reasons:
1) the increase of the "bubble" to 10, 15 and perhaps even more (communication wasn't exactly clear. More importantly, it was to check "on a weekly basis", which meant you could visit 15 different people every week).
2) certain ethnic groups (of Morocans and Turkish origin) taking the rules as suggestions.
The latter is rather controversial (it's barely mentioned in the news in order not to be branded 'racist'). Either way...the second wave simply didn't follow suit with the "mass" black lives matter protests in Belgium (all...two hundred of them (?) ).
Can't say much on the US in terms of comparing covid-cases with BLM, but your cases were never going down "fast", no matter your definition (fuck...according to Fauci, you're still in your first wave). Oh, and experts also agree that reopening the economy too fast was a factor. Could be that BLM protests were also a factor, but I honestly wouldn't know. And sorry, but I don't trust you on face value on that.
