Forbes reports that, according to the Tulsa fire marshal, the attendance at @realDonaldTrump’s rally last night was just under 6,200, less than a third of the arena’s capacity.

Turnout At Trump’s Tulsa Rally Was Just Under 6,200–A Fraction Of The Venue’s 19,200 Capacity
The campaign had anticipated turnout high enough to warrant a second speech to the overflow section.

Far short of that million attendees you predicted, Brad. Enjoy your next shift at McDonalds - perhaps you can get your Ferrari $$$ back?

The claimed million online responders was undoubtedly grossly inflated by the Trump camp themselves, far beyond anything the TikTok Teens and K-Pop Stans accomplished.

But, I'm wondering, what might those latter registrations do to Evil Magician Parscale's data brew?

"fake news," photographic evidence of the crowd size will be ignored and he will deny having said what he did. Americans have become numb to Trump's constant blizzard of lies and gaslighting.

Trump will explain that the media is saying 6200 attended, but what Mr. Fire Marshal really said was there were 6200 zeros after the first number (which was a 3).

for not paying his bills, I wonder how much this fiasco will cost the city of Tulsa? This campaign has walked away from bills all over the country, owing cities for police overtime and protection. tRump is a deadbeat, fake billionaire. The only money he and his family spends is from the U.S. Treasury.

The orange asshole, with this stunt(because that’s what it was) will cause more deaths than the amount of people who attended. The attendees are now all spreaders. How many from out of state attended? How many were asymptotic? How many were already sick? How many are now sick?
And, how many will get sick because these idiots are now spreading it?

If there was any crime here it was the knowledge that the virus is far from over and the orange asshole held this rally with no regard to the general populations health, let alone his moron followers.

Charles mason didn’t kill those people but he ordered it, Hitler I didn’t personally kill a Jew ( that we know of) but he ordered it. The orange asshole held this rally and the result will be that people will die, but he ordered his moron minions to hold the rally.

Bunkerbaby's cult members did. They could have remembered Saint Nancy's "Just say no." As you say the real victims will be the people they infect.

No, I'm not letting Trump off the hook here. As usual he knew what he was doing, but he'll take no responsibility.

That creature is a monster.

Worst case scenario:

Given an R0 of approximately 3.4, 6,200 infections would lead to 21,080 new COVID infections.

With around a 1% fatality rate. (Given the age and physical condition of many of the rally goers, this may be higher.) To put a number on that it would be 210.8 or rounded up 211 deaths.

Wow... Was it really worth it? Of course not.

STAY HOME!

Fixed to 1%, which I feel is realistic.

But even if only half or a quarter of them were infected, the numbers would increase with each person they infected then infecting others who inefect others, etc..

Actually, I'm surprised that so many magas had the sense to stay away. Even kids getting hundreds of tickets doesn't account for the empty overflow.

Whatever increase in infections is seen in the coming weeks due to the Tulsa rally, that figure can be applied to estimate what it would have been if Trump's attendance prediction had actually come true. I'll bet the result will be terrifying.
