How many will die because of Trump's rally today?

[Cyrano]

Tulsa is a very dangerous place today. The maniac in chief needs an ego rally and he probably isn't even aware, or doesn't give a shit, about how many people will die as a result.

There may be deaths today among protesters and/or law enforcement. But one thing is for certain. Nineteen thousand people, crowded closely together, without masks, will result in many deaths a few weeks from now.

These are people who don't believe in science. They are part of a crazed cult, each of whom is putting their lives on the line and are too ignorant to know it.

But the undeniable truth is that every one of the deaths to soon come will be because of Donald Trump's need to be cheered, admired and loved by large crowds of fools.

The people I pity are those who have to work at that arena, but really don't want to be there. As for those who couldn't wait to be there, they are lemmings in the process of committing suicide.

Enjoy yourself today, Donald. The whole world knows that you're only adding to the deaths for which you are already responsible. Today will be a slow motion blood bath for which you will, no doubt, find someone else to blame. But you own it, you horrible fucking disease.

1. How are they going to disinfect that giant Petri dish afterwards?

Ugh.

8. He's got 5 more scheduled in NC, AZ, FL and two other states

I can’t remember at the moment. But all will be held soon. This summer is going to be the summer of death unfortunately.

2. Unless Trump is excluding married agents from his MAGAnazi hate rallies

how many Secret Service agents bring this trump-virus home and kill their wife and/or in-laws in the service to racist fascist dictator wannabe?

[Cyrano]

12. Exactly. Right on

Secret Service agents will take a bullet for the president. Any president. But asking them to expose themselves, unnecessarily, to a dangerous virus is unconscionable. However, we know Trump doesn't have a conscience.

I don't know how these agents can go home to their families, even after a day in the White House. Have many of them have moved out during the covid-19 epidemic to protect their families? We'll never know. But endangering these dedicated people and all around them is something that would never occur to Trump. He's the most hollow, soulless person imaginable.

3. Ten percent or more.

That many people tightly packed in an enclosed space with no protection? Yup, they're getting the virus and will burden and endanger our healthcare workers with their selfish ignorance.

[Cyrano]

4. How much more will they spread on their travels back home?

Ten percent seems to be on the low side.

[Hugin]

7. Yeah, it's only math.

Multiply the number of attendees by the current estimated R0 and then take approximately 10% of the result.

Science and math are hard masters. No mercy... or politics.

[Arkansas Granny]

5. Just for clarity, call it what it is, stupicidal.

[SledDriver]

6. It's probably wrong to say this but,

It's time for this type of willful ignorance to have fatal consequences.

Everything Trump touches dies.

[Jersey Devil]

9. We'll never know

They will fake the numbers to hide any spike just like they did in other red states

10. In a backdoor kind of way Trump is as bad as the COVID; He is a human virus, infecting

everything and anything all across the country.

[Baclava]

11. Well, they won't have to worry about taking it home to parents/grandparents, they in line with them

[librechik]

13. fortunately, since they have to sign a waiver, we have an opportunity to trace these morons.

I'm sure some reporter is already on this.

[Cyrano]

14. The waivers are like Trump's prenups

Do members of the media need to sign them?

Do employees of the arena have to sign them?

Does the Secret Service have to sign them?

Trump's whole life has been screwing and suing people. It's all he knows.

15. If you do the math:

The death rate for COVID is currently about 0.021%. The BOK Center holds 20,000 people, but I am guessing this will be way over capacity so let's say 22,500.

22,500 * 0.021 = 472.

472 people will die from this and that's not counting the number of people that will get second or third hand infections from people attending the rally.

Yeah this is a really bad idea.
