Dozens of Attendees at Donald Trump's Tulsa Rally Could Turn Up Infected With COVID-19

Peter Drobac, a physician and an infectious diseases specialist at the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School, pointed to alarming facts that highlight the risks of holding the Tulsa rally.
New COVID-19 cases are surging in Oklahoma. On Friday the state reported its highest single-day increase in new cases to date. Neighboring states, from which rally attendees may travel, are also reporting spikes in new infections.

"If you tried to design a superspreader event for COVID-19, it would look a lot like one of these rallies," Drobac told Newsweek. "It's perfectly designed to foster the spread of a respiratory virus. I worry about the risk to attendees, to their loved ones, and to the president."

  1. And if it doesn't happen, then he'll still get criticized. It could've happened!
    The same folks who don't seem to care about protests and riots where the density is far greater suddenly are worried about Trump rallies. Hypocrisy.
