Not really a good way to show how gathering should be held, perhaps even a bit stupid. But you know America cares far more about the riots, looters and people fighting for their lives against mobs of "peaceful protesters". The only ones who really care about the lack of mask wearing here are people who would never vote for Trump anyway. And for months so much silence and even support from the Dems for the violent mobs.
As a person who is rooting for us to break the "1917" pandemic record of 650K I would like to express my appreciation to the 1500 Trump supporters at the speech which looked to be about 90% maskless. And I would like to chastise the protesters at that event and those at the Lincoln Memorial who look like they were about 70% masked.
70% masking is way to much masking for us to reach our lofty death goal. Besides, the TexasWahine lady doesn't think you are wearing them anyway. So it seems kinda pointless.
I say the president put himself at risk by having a large, unmasked event with hundreds of untested participants. I say the president is a potential super spreader of the virus.
Now if you want to discuss the protesters, go start a thread and do so.
What's the difference between the two?
And how do you know everyone at the event was "untested".
I'd wager more people attending the event had been recently tested than the protestors.
180K plus deaths so far...how many more in November on election night?...MANY more preventable deaths if masks worn by all! So sad that some Americans (and Trump) cannot follow basic health precautions that most other countries (especially ASIA) successfully following!

The worst part of this is that as the president, he is supposed to be setting an example for the country. His obvious disdain for masks and social distancing means the people who come before him must adhere to his complete disregard for their own safety. This is the message he sends with stunts like this. I do not care about the safety of the American people. My ego is more important.
We will never get this virus under control in this country while this moron is in the White House. That was never more apparent than after last night.
The GOP celebrated their renomination of Trump by throwing a crowded party that was a jarring contrast in a nation where the spread of the coronavirus remains largely uncontrolled.
"More than 1,500 supporters poured onto the South Lawn for his formal acceptance speech to cap the Republican National Convention, and most were not wearing masks, even though they were seated closely together in white folding chairs.
The overwhelming majority of guests were not administered rapid coronavirus tests, Trump campaign and convention officials said, despite their relative proximity to the president and other White House officials. A White House official said it was logistically unfeasible to test such a large number of people."

And you think it would have been better with a Lib in charge?
Trump limited travel from China. The head Libs response was to encourage people to go out more. Like in China town.
Trump had the same info the governors had. How many required people to wear a mask or stay in?
And it was Libs that wanted to keep all of the factories in China. So if people did wear masks it would mean medical personal would not have enough.
And even now we dont have enough of the K95 mask that really work.
You have to remember where Libs what are jobs and factories. China makes 90% of our medical supplies.
Remember a year before Libs said it would be a disaster to bring back factories from China.
Also why do blue states have a higher death rate from covid 19. Sort of more proof it would be worse when a Lib in charge isnt it.
Also remember when on the news everyday. Libs saying not hundreds but thousands would die from lack of ventilators and was all Trumps fault. Has even one died from lack of a ventilator?
You have to look at the facts. And not think just what you are being told to think.
At least four people who were at the Republican National Convention tested positive for the new coronavirus, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina's health department confirmed.
Oh My God!!! Four people?! The sky is falling, the sky is falling! They’re gong to infect the entire United States! Stay inside, stay inside! Save yourselves!
