What about the Republican National Convention in Jacksonville and elsewhere?

Trump supporters have to promise not to sue over COVID-19 to attend rally in 19,000 seat arena for Tulsa.

Will attendees for the RNC have to do the same? Accept the risk as the tort parlance goes?

Here's what rally goers must sign:

At the bottom of the registration page for tickets to the upcoming Trump campaign rally is a disclaimer notifying attendees that “by clicking register below, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present.”

"By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury,” the notice states.

As long as they're too sick to vote on election day, they can go stiff their lawyers just like their role model does.

FL's COVID numbers continue to climb. People who planned to go will find some reason to bow out. So many will find excuses that the convention doesn't happen or if it does, very, very few people actually show and everything is done behind doors.

Numbers increasing bc of yahoos congregatin' maskless and no distancing.

People around are slacking off from advisories.

Except for those who have brain cells to rub together.

Yay! Convention don't happen, or if it does, numbers down way way low.🔻 [Heheh.]
