Sorry mate my comment was tongue in cheek
There is no link to BLM rallies or Ramadan. But the continuing speculation there might be will not go away for some.
The authorities go to much trouble contact tracing to try and keep tabs on this virus. They determined a person attending the BLM rally in Melbourne subsequently tested positive to Covid 19. They believe they already had the virus before attending the rally and did not pass it on at the rally. The infected person worked at H&M Northland. They infected other staff at H&M Northland which started a cluster called "the North Melbourne family cluster".
The authorities have been quite clear they can not link any outbreak to the BLM protest. It is interesting because it would seem the infection risk is not nearly as great outside as it is indoors.
If the article you are referring to is in The Australian today, "Coronavirus: Black Lives Matter protest linked to tower cluster." That article does not provide evidence for the headline. Indeed it quotes the authorities as saying,” It is not clear which direction the virus was transmitted in. In many cases, we will never know for sure how large clusters began and the order in which the virus spread”.
