Republicans, how do you feel about Trump's Covid superspreader rallies?

Statistics show that the Covid rate of infection has gone up dramatically in 84% of the counties where Trump has held rallies in which most participants are neither wearing masks nor social distancing.  Public health experts, including Fauci, have condemned these rallies. [Biden's rallies, in contrast, always follow CDC guidelines regarding social distancing and mask wearing].

Even in Trump's most recent rallies, where chairs are spaced 6' from each other, Trump first stops and speaks to a large maskless crowd that's not socially distanced outside the defined rally area--so these are superspreader events, too.

Do you support Trump holding all these rallies or do you think he should stop?

    Trump will stop November 4 (duh !) but evidence is only circumstantial that his rallies are "super" spreaders. The claim would not hold up in a court of law. btw, 90%+ of infected people recover fully, so do not panic. The BIG super spreader event will be winter and the flu, when everyone stays indoors.  Infected people who recovered will be very glad they have already gone through the illness. [In Feb 2020 Fauci said the public DID NOT need masks.]  P S Biden has no real plan to stop covid. Unfortunately, that may not become obvious until next January.

    REALITY shows your sources LIE about statistics and IGNORE riots in areas where infections spike.

    WTF does this have to do with personal finance?  I don't go to rallies and I don't hang out with people who do. The president is 75ish and he got over it just fine. I refuse to let fear run my life.

    Stay in the basement with sleepy joe. Wear triple masks.  Wait, shouldn't you be rioting and looting?

    I think I'm tired of everyone spouting off nonsense with suspect statistics and percentages.

    Are these the same statistics that say that 250,000 people acquired covid from Sturgis in 3 weeks time? 

    - Which is IMPOSSIBLE

    300 people who attended Sturgis were diagnosed with covid.

    For that group to grow to 250,000 in 3 weeks time, the RO 9+. 

    However, if the kind of people who were at Sturgis were the kind of people that had an RO 9+, then over 3,000 people would have acquired covid at Sturgis, not 300.

    Stupid is as stupid does. Trump doesn’t wear a mask and hold rallies. His supporters don’t wear masks and attend rallies. Stupid is as stupid does.
