Praying that no one sneezed: Twitter video shows just how packed the mega-church President Trump was

[Ceece]

DNC has been holding BLM protest rallys for a month, this is nothing compared to all of those. Stop worrying about stuff you aren't involved in. Wear you little mask, stay home as much as possible, your outrage is embarrassing.

We can all see what an egomaniac trump is. He cares NOTHING about anyone BUT himself. We’ve seen this all before. Reruns of his previous shows. Time for a new act and costume change.

This should be a crime.
It's a form of involuntary manslaughter, really. He's been advised by medical experts on the risks.
Trump is willfully and negligently exposing people to a deadly virus through his own deliberate actions.
Waivers don't always hold water -- and they shouldn't here.

What he is doing is mind-boggling in its potential to cause harm, as well as the example it sets. Disgusting. I watched some of his rally the other night and nearly had an anxiety attack imagining virus flowing out of people's mouths as they shouted. I just couldn't believe it.

But don't forget, this comes after four weeks of mass gatherings, politicians attending packed funerals, and public health experts green-lighting super-spreading events for ideological purposes. I've watched in absolute shock as people pack together in streets as far as the eye can see, holding hands, embracing...all things we've been denied for months.

So, it's really hard to come down hard on one side, without coming down hard on the other.

But....people say, "the protesters all wore masks." Not all of them. "And they were all outside." No, they weren't the whole time. People drove together, rode buses, stayed together, ate together, took off their masks to shout, shouted in police officer's face...all known methods of transmission. And then they traveled home to their families and towns.

And now in some cities, contact tracers are not asking if people went to protests. They likely are asking if people went to Trump rallies.

So let's call ALL OF IT what it is: Wrong. Reckless. Hypocritical. A slap in the face for all of us who stayed home, closed our businesses, and let our loved ones die alone in hospitals in order to do the right thing.

And I certainly believe Trump doesn't care how the younger age people can spread the virus to the much more vulnerable oldest age groups far more vulnerable to death.

It is not near zero for those under 18. I just read yesterday that a 17 year old died from it. But even if there is no death, and even in mild cases, the long term effects on the organs and neurological systems can be horrific.

[oh come on!]

it's just the kungflu, no big deal.
