As has been noted, these fools are playing life-and-death games very carelessly and are likely to hurt innocent people.

16. I have a very dark streak of humor sometimes

I would have much preferred there had been some way to stop this stupidity but there wasn't. I accept that I should have at least added a sarcasm or heavy irony tag to that post.

17. I think I know that's what you were thinking - the sarcasm.

Unfortunately, there are some here who seem to glory in the virus getting out there, and they seem not to care about the collateral damage.

[Maeve]

19. Fair enough and the post has been edited to clarify

[cwydro]

23. I understand completely.

I reacted too fast due to some of the stuff I've been reading here lately.

But watching this coverage is really mind-blowing. They seem completely unaware, uncaring, ignorant...I can't find a good word!

[Maeve]

25. Yeah, the past few years have put a real strain on the thesaurus!

Back to cussing in a foreign language...

2. Gotta get a jump on those infections. nt

[Iliyah]

3. Probably already spreaded the virus . .

p.s. checking temperatures for thousands attending the rally will be totally chaotic and pretty much disastrous.

4. I hope it's Kayleigh Imaniny, Jarvanak, Kellyskank Spinway, S. Miller, that Nazi. I'll throw in....

Ghouliani for good measure.

14. It was the advance team

All or most of whom may or may not be actual White House staff. A lot of the advance teams are volunteers.

5. O'Donnell with a negative

Trump piece,say it ain't so.

As the Algorithm for predicting the compounding effect says,6 doubles exponentially within time. If they have been in the area for the usual week to ten days doing setup,holy cow,new cases will be in the Hundreds.

[aeromanKC]

6. Where did they get it

And how many did they infect? (The number is not 0)

[Initech]

7. What could possibly go wrong?

[Blue_true]

22. Rally participants are going to have to submit to a temperature check,

get a wrist band if ok, then be given a mask to wear inside the rally. Those are the same people that claim that wearing a mask violates their freedom.

[Initech]

29. Yeah that's not going to help.

I feel all this constant temperature checking in the long run isn't going to do anything. It's just security theater. Same thing with all this constant deep cleaning and scrubbing. It may do some in the short run but most likely really isn't going to help.

And knowing the way Trump supporters are handling the mask debate, those masks will either get thrown on the ground or stuffed into pockets.

8. They should be more transparent-- are these staffers in Tulsa?

Did they travel down on a plane with other staffers?

Who has been exposed and should be in quarantine?

[underpants]

9. From a hoax?

I don’t understand

[womanofthehills]

10. So , the rest of the advance team should probably be in quarantine

Instead of Tulsa

[Windy City Charlie]

11. So....

if any of the attendees of tonight's rally become infected, are they going actually admit to it, and make their dear leader look bad? or do they take one for team Trump and keep quiet about it and possibly continue living in denial?

[manhattan123]

12. They wont be in attendance tonight, but...

...they have already been there for a few days, at the arena, eating in local restaurants, staying in a local hotel, and coming in contact with god knows how many people. Not to mention, a flight across the country.

[Windy City Charlie]

15. Yet

Yet, there's not a peep about this on the Fox News facebook page, where most of the attendees get their news. So, most of them, probably have no clue about this.

[Blue_true]

18. I read that anyone that gets in the rally area must wear a mask.

And use hand sanitizer. They also will get their temperature checked, even before they are given a mask.

The whole affair is why Trump is so poorly suited to lead this country. His people KNOW that masks are important and insist they must be worn by anyone coming near Trump. But they steadfastly are refusing to strongly suggest that ALL Americans wear mask to stop the spread of the coronavirus. The stupidity and hyprocracy is breath-taking.

[StarfishSaver]

20. They'll be given masks, but it will be up to them whether to wear them

[Blue_true]

24. Did you read that they had a choice as to whether to wear them?

The article that I read seemed to have indicated that once they were past a certain point in the building, they had to have a mask on. I could have read the article wrong.

[StarfishSaver]

26. They have to put the mask on until they get their temperature taken

Then it's up to them.

The court refused allow the city health officials to impose restrictions.

These people don't even realize how, as usual, Trump is playing them for fools. By giving out masks, he's covering his butt. He can say the campaign did everything they could to protect the attendees - "Not OUR fault people didn't wear the masks ..."

So when they do as he does, not what he says and get sick, and they try to get his help, their hero's going to tell them to go pound sand.

[Blue_true]

27. Aren't temperature checks somewhat unreliable? nt

[cwydro]

28. Of course they are.

That stupid McAnIdiot said she wasn't worried because she "is tested regularly."

Does she thinks that means she won't get it?

[pstokely]

21. no mask wearing required

a right to sickness rally
