Study : Trump Rallies Have Led To 700 Covid Deaths

Read em and weep













18 Trump rallies have lead to 30,000 COVID-19 cases: Stanford University study






A new study  from Stanford University found that 18 of President Trump's campaign rallies have led to over 30,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and likely led to over 700 deaths.






Give him another four years and who knows how many needless deaths will owe their earthly demise to Donald Trump. The possibilities are endless. 


Let's face it, there will be another crisis if not many more in the next four years.  We can't afford to have someone with the conscience of Hannibal Lector leading this nation.

Researchers examined rallies held between June 20 and Sept. 22, 2020, only three of which were held indoors.

The researchers then compared spread of the virus in the counties that held the rallies to counties that were on similar case trajectories before the rallies occurred.

The authors concluded that the rallies increased subsequent cases of COVID-19 by over 250 infections per 100,000 residents. They found that the events led to over 30,000 new cases in the country and likely resulted in over 700 deaths, but recognized that the deaths were "not necessarily among attendees."

"Our analysis strongly supports the warnings and recommendations of public health officials concerning the risk of COVID-19 transmission at large group gatherings, particularly when the degree of compliance with guidelines concerning the use of masks and social distancing is low," the authors wrote in the paper. "The communities in which Trump rallies took place paid a high price in terms of disease and death.

The study was published to preprint platform SSRN on Friday.

In a statement to The Hill, the Trump campaign deputy national press secretary Courtney Parella said that, "Americans have the right to gather under the First Amendment to hear from the President of the United States."

Oh, okay then, that makes everything fine.

That's possibly 700 less votes for Trump right there.

Some of those deaths might be some children whose magaot parents drag them to superspreader events instead of popping for a baby sitter.

That's possible. Or some of those adults may become infected and spread their infection to children or others around them or at home.

They have a right to chose to die. Sadly they infect innocents that leads to their deaths.

I've been hoping that someone somewhere would be working on these stats.  It's worse than I thought it would be.

The total is going to be much more that 30,000 and 700.  These figures are only through the third week of September. He's had at last 18 more rallies since then.

This winter I am wearing two masks out and about non-stop. I have been adjusting to the two off and on already. But now, I won't waste time trying to explain or 'endure' anything talking to. . .jaw-jackers. . . about "to wear or not to wear." I simply will let them see my 'example.' And eye goggles or safety glasses, too. They can 'talk to my PPE!!!'

This is the first year I have not turned on the light and handed out candy in the fifteen years I have owned it.

I feel bad but sorry, don't need to be seeing a bunch of people. Plus we have piles of debris in yards and all over.

I understand. This is a "treat' for you and one of your traditions. Just know that your loss is saving some unknown persons a form of invisible microbial misery. Then, if you have not voted already, go do so and when you do remember those politicians (seeking votes now) who did not do their best to fix this before the "3 holidays" ensued!

Went to the library to borrow some DVDs for the weekend and the librarian gave me a few tiny bags of M&Ms (with peanuts). My Halloween is complete.

Trump did say he believes in "herd mentality".   He just wants to thin the herd.

Elderly people should be grievously insulted by Trump's insolence. Seniors! Winter is coming. Who is to say you will survive Trump's spring; and you must expect that there are other pandemics out there waiting. . .  . What good is wealth or its perception if you are too sick and dying to use it? The quality in your life is in your days and in many cases, your children you can't touch because of an obstinate, combative, so-called, "leader" named Donald Trump.

Y'all better get a clue!  Donald Trump is killing people literally with the words he utters.

Donald with his mild case of coronavirus used rank to run to the front of the COVID-19 Help line. Then he come back out in no better disposition, unhumbled, by that meant to inform him!

The experience (mild though it must have been) was meant to humble and encourage Donald to be a better leader, but it did not. Because it could not in this man!

We have to let Donald go and get on with his life in the private sector so we can get on with our lives publicly free of his brand of confusion!

"Donald with his mild case of coronavirus used rank to run to the front of the COVID-19 Help line."

A dozen doctors devoting 24/7 time and efforts to him (did you not see them in the videos of his personal doctor's updates in front of the hospital?), medications that hardly anyone has access to (or could afford if they did), a virtual clinic set up in his home - with all that there might not have been any deaths at all in the USA.  But all that is reserved for the leader who has the blood of American citizens on his hands.  God bless Amerca.  God DAMN Donald J. Trump.

Pretty sure that benevolent gods have nothing to do with the virus or the Trump administration response to it.

There was a scene in the movie Cinderalla Man, when Mrs. Braddock (Renee Zellweger) went to the Cathedral when her husband James Braddock (Russell Crowe) was preparing for the fight of his life, and she noticed many people there praying. She asked the priest why so many people were there on a weekday, and he replied that they were praying for Jim, because they feel he represents them and if he can win, then they all can win.

So with that in mind, it's time to pray to whatever God or deity there is to provide Godspeed to Joe Biden.
