Hundreds to attend Mar-a-Lago fundraiser despite crowd warnings

[RandySF]

Hours after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suggested that cities consider limiting large gatherings — more than 250 people — to curb the spread of coronavirus, a local dog-rescue charity said it is moving forward with a sold-out fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago expected to draw over 700 people including President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump.

Big Dog Ranch Rescue, the nation’s largest cage-free, no-kill dog rescue based in Loxahatchee Groves, will not cancel its annual Wine, Women & Shoes fundraiser at the president’s private club on Saturday despite other charities calling-off events in Palm Beach and the town canceling four public meetings.

“The Maralago Club meticulously follows all CDC recommendations including cleaning and sterilization of guest areas,” event planner Chase Scott wrote in an email to The Palm Beach Post.

In addition to hand sanitizer stations and “as an additional precautionary measure, upon check-in guests will be encouraged to refrain from shaking hands, hugging or kissing,” Scott added.

2. All the cleaning and sterilizing doesn't do squat

As soon as one infected person walks in the room.

Here... have some finger food.

3. This is the first I've heard about Desantis even thinking about doing squat, and

I live here. I would say, let them have there get togethers...of course then they are putting the press at risk other innocents at risk, once they're infected.

9. Press should show up in full hazmat gear. They cant

beat him in traditional settings...it would be the most effective silent display in history.

5. Asshats...

These asshats will spread the virus further through the general pop.

This is criminal if it indeed goes forward.

6. I hope the crazy people keep right on meeting in large groups.

10. And we should encourage. "Hey, you too chicken?"

7. I highly doubt that they clean that place. If they did they wouldn't have a bedbug issue or issues

with their kitchen. I call bullshit on it being cleaned. Cleaning costs money and we know he won't spend a penny of his own money.
