WRONG. Northern Texas where there is a lot of population concentrated is more than a 3 hour drive from Tulsa. Another large population area, Kansas City, is also more than 3 hours away. You won't get as many as 10,000,000 within a 3 hour drive. So please quit posting false information.
I wonder how many will fall ill to COVID caught at the rally.
Not many, if people take advice from the Oklahoma Health Dept. and don't come to the rally unless you have recently been tested negative for the virus. But who wants to get tested, especially if you're feeling fine?
I don't get the glee over Biden's deterioration. I don't relish the idea of him being president, but it is hard to watch him. I don't understand why the democrats are pushing him front and center while everybody watches this train wreck. I keep asking myself what are they planning behind the scenes?
Now as for President Trump's rally, good for him. However, how will they ever social distance that crowd?
They're in a tight place. Tulsa is overwhelmingly Republican, but they REALLY don't want this virus in their community more than it already is. They want to keep their citizens safe.
I don't know what I'd do if I were the mayor of Tulsa. What a stuck position.
And I say this with some personal skin in the game - I have a large segment of my family in Tulsa, and they are hold- their-nose Trump voters, and I'm sure they're feeling conflicted. Nobody wants a huge crowd to descend on their city right now, even those who agree with the premise of the gathering.
The Tulsa mayor has indicated he won't cancel the rally. I think a bigger worry are too many protesters getting out of hand.

My personal thought is, there won't be protesters "getting out of hand". I really don't think Trump supporters typically destroy property or become unruly.
Rather, there will be protesters spreading a deadly virus to people who are over 60 and physically compromised, as many of Trump supporters are.

I meant a bunch of irate anti-Trump supporters coming. Tulsa had a bunch of protesters over the Floyd killing. They may want to come back. A bigger bunch were protesting in Oklahoma City. They may want to come, too, even though their main beef was over the Oklahoma City police.
Using that calculator that WK posted, and 250 miles like you used, I got this...
250-Mile Radius Report for Tulsa, OK Metro Area
This region includes 256 counties: Baxter, AR; Benton, AR; Boone, AR; Carroll, AR; Clark, AR; Cleburne, AR; Conway, AR; Crawford, AR; Faulkner, AR; Franklin, AR; Fulton, AR; Garland, AR; Grant, AR; Hempstead, AR; Hot Spring, AR; Howard, AR... plus 240 more counties
Population in 2019:
19,550,193
But the problem is that Tulsa is more than 3 hour drive from the biggest metro areas such as DFW and Kansas City. Tulsa is also more than 3 hours away from Little Rock.
This breaks the records of any political candidate in History. Biden? Got 68 at his Wisconsin virtual rally.
Welcome to the real world.
Meanwhile, in the real world, TikTok users are scooping up tickets by the truckload to try to leave the venue empty. Jim Hoft, the "Gateway Pundit", is a right wing gasbag. The National Enquirer is more believable.

Assuming no congestion and no stops that would be on the low side.
