How many people died for Trump's Tulsa rally?

We know about Herman Cain, but how many others are there? Attendees as well as friends and relatives of attendees? It can be argued that they knew the risk, but Cain's death was completely avoidable as is so much other suffering resulting from Trump's selfishness.

Of course, Trump doesn't accept responsibility for anything.

5. Coronavirus Surge in Tulsa 'More Than Likely' Linked to Trump Rally

Dr. Bruce Dart, the director of the Tulsa Health Department, said Tulsa County had reported nearly 500 new cases of Covid-19 in the past two days.

A surge in coronavirus cases in and around Tulsa, Okla., is probably connected to the campaign rally President Trump held there last month, the city’s top health official said on Wednesday.

Tulsa County reported 206 new confirmed cases on Tuesday and 261 — a record high — on Monday, and Dr. Bruce Dart, the director of the Tulsa Health Department, said at a news conference that it was reasonable to link the spike to the rally and related events.

“The past two days we’ve had almost 500 cases, and we know we had several large events a little over two weeks ago, which is about right,” Dr. Dart said. “So I guess we just connect the dots.”

The county has more infections right now than any other in Oklahoma, and “we’ve had some significant events in the past few weeks that more than likely contributed to that,” he added.

Probably be hard to put an exact number on the number of people who actually succumb after contracting the disease at at the rally.

A photo was circulating earlier of him seated with many others at the rally. Nobody wore a mask. They all in theory had the same exposure.

We're only hearing about him because he was well-known.
