Stanford study: Trump campaign rallies led to 30,000 COVID cases, 700 deaths

Researchers at Stanford University believe President Donald Trump's re-election campaign rallies — which are not socially distanced and mask wearing is sporadic — are responsible for 30,000 COVID-19 cases and 700 deaths across the country.

In a paper published Saturday, the four researchers examine infection patterns in 18 separate counties before and after they hosted Trump rallies between June 20 and Sept. 22. The researchers conclude the rallies "ultimately resulted in more than 30,000 incremental confirmed cases of COVID-19" and "likely led to more than 700 deaths."

Trump had a rally here a while back, and anyone who attended had to sign a waiver absolving the Trump campaign of any liability if they catch coronavirus.

And then you have to think about all of the people those people have infected, and so on. People are so damn selfish...

"I'm not afraid of covid! I can do what I want!"

Well, it aint about you, bub.

If Trump had only worn a mask.

...Or hadn't crippled our ability to deal with a pandemic in order to save some money in the first place...

The fact he's openly mocked people who wear masks and tried to downplay how bad it is hasn't helped things either. It's only 75 nine elevens worth of dead Americans, that's all.

We know who to blame for the current spread.
Started with Sturgis, that spread all over the bible belt. And then you have each rally doing the same thing in those respective areas.
Holding rallies with no mask mandate will only pro-long the economic disaster. You could open everything up tomorrow, still wouldn't change people going out and frequenting businesses.
The Trump regime understands that rallies are important to get elected. They don't give a damn about anyone in the audience.
Your death is expendable to republicans

From the article:

“The communities in which Trump rallies took place paid a high price in terms of disease and death,” wrote B. Douglas Bernheim, chairman of Stanford’s economics department and a lead author of the paper.

Trump rides into a town, like the pale rider of his horse of death. Doesn't matter if you support Trump or not, if you live there.... death is coming to down.

If Trump had only worn a mask.

If only he hadn't turned a perfectly trivial public health precaution into a political wedge issue to divide the country..

Depends on which poll site you're looking at.

Good news. Biden wants to help Trump spread the love!

If Trump had only worn a mask.

If he had, millions would have done so following his example and he would have been praised by his enemies for at least doing one thing right.
