Trump campaign says it will give temperature checks, masks to rally attendees

[RandySF]

Attendees at President Trump's rally in Oklahoma on Saturday will be given temperature checks, masks and hand sanitizer before entering the arena, the campaign said Monday, the first indication that there will be any precautions taken to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted the checklist, boasting that there had been more than 1 million requests for tickets for the Tulsa rally. The BOK Center, which will host the rally, holds roughly 19,000 people.

Tickets are free and can be requested by anyone regardless of whether they intend to go to the event. But the requests serve as as a significant source of data for the campaign.

Public health experts have pointed to wearing face coverings as one of the best ways to help slow the spread of the virus. But Trump has personally chafed at the optics of wearing a mask, making it unclear how many of his supporters will actually wear one at Saturday's event.

1. Watching the ones turned away should be fun

[live love laugh]

2. Why? Thought they wanted to be liberated? nt

3. But, But - I Thought Covid-19 Was A Democrat Hoax....(sarcasm)...nt

4. White House counsel probably informed Trump that his legal waivers are

unenforceable.

5. Approximately 30% of contagious carriers never have a fever. nt

6. LOL

Their lawyers told them that purposely ignoring the CDC's warning would constitute recklessness on their part and, thus, invalidate the waiver they're forcing people to agree to.

They also know that a lot of their idiot supporters will do as Trump does, not as he says and refuse to wear the masks ...

12. They will be given masks, but will they wear them? Lol!

A fucking freak show where people kill themselves.

[LiberalLovinLug]

18. Masks? We don't need no stinkin masks

[Doreen]

7. So, they can find masks for his f*****g rally but

they can't/won't get them to care providers. What a bunch of loosers.

[Johnny2X2X]

8. For a hoax?

Why?

[gratuitous]

11. Seems like an awful lot of foofaraw for a hoax, doesn't it?

I wonder if anyone's going to show up angry and strapped just waiting for the chance to go off (responsibly, of course) on the person who approaches him with a forehead scanner?

[Hugin]

9. Rectally.

Get's my vote... Must be accurate!

It's going to take awhile to check 800,000 people's temperature.

[irisblue]

10. 1 million on site temperature checks?

Sweet sweet!

trumpers & maga people walking up to health care staffers in full dress PPE is gonna mess up a few minds.

Also the OT for the health care workers... Sweet!

13. I have a feeling that magats will drop the masks on the sidewalk.

Maybe they can do a mass burning of masks, like the disco demolition day in Chicago back in the '70s. Yeah, that's it. Set a bunch of fires in the arena.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. Last night it was 800,000 requests. Now it's a million.

By Saturday, there'll be at least two brazillian people all descending on poor little Tulsa. They'll be stacked in BOK Center like cordwood, 22 deep, all flailing and flopping like fish in the Deadliest Catch.

And Parscale will have his treasure trove of emails for fundraising. One for Trump, one for me. One for Trump, two for me. One for Trump, three for me...

[tanyev]

15. Aha! Jared: The federal stockpile is ours, not the states'.

[elleng]

16. Right, all 80,000 of them!

[leftyladyfrommo]

17. All 1 000 000 of them?

Tgese are probably the masks Kushner stole from the states.

[chowder66]

19. I hope those reservations are from this teenager

From 2019

Seventeen-year-old Noah does a little bit of it all. But recently, a few tweets he sent off as a joke seem to have affected Donald Trump in a big way. “Hey everyone you totally shouldn’t go on tr*mp’s website and reserve tickets for his rally and not show up so that there’s empty seats (the tickets are free) but you should definitely not do that!!” he wrote on Twitter earlier this month.
