President Donald Trump offered a glaring new example of his refusal to put medical science before politics with a large indoor rally Sunday night that made a mockery of social distancing, while the pandemic he mismanaged has now claimed more than 194,000 American lives.
The
event in Nevada -- his second rally in the state in as many days -- did
not only risk the health of those present, thousands of whom were
packed together inside a manufacturing facility in defiance of the
state's ban on local gatherings of 50 people or more. It also has the
potential to turn into a super spreader event that could seed Covid-19
outbreaks in the wider community. Trump hadn't held an indoor rally in
nearly three months, since his last one, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, after which
the city saw a surge in cases and multiple campaign staffers along with
Secret Service agents tested positive for the virus.
