Trump rally 'likely' contributed to dramatic coronavirus surge in Tulsa: Health official

[TomCADem]

Remember how a Trump rally in Tulsa in June was followed by a surge in COVID cases, including the death of Herman Cain? Is it a coincidence that there are now COVID surges in the weeks that have followed Trump's latest salvo of in person rallies in Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin?

President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa in late June that drew thousands of participants and large protests “likely contributed” to a dramatic surge in new coronavirus cases, Tulsa City-County Health Department Director Dr. Bruce Dart said Wednesday.

Tulsa County reported 261 confirmed new cases on Monday, a one-day record high, and another 206 cases on Tuesday. By comparison, during the week before the June 20 Trump rally, there were 76 cases on Monday and 96 on Tuesday.

Although the health department’s policy is to not publicly identify individual settings where people may have contracted the virus, Dart said those large gatherings “more than likely” contributed to the spike.

“In the past few days, we’ve seen almost 500 new cases, and we had several large events just over two weeks ago, so I guess we just connect the dots,” Dart said.

3. Herman Cain account tweets coronavirus 'not as deadly' as claimed after his death from COVID-19

Even Herman Cain's twitter account has been arguing that COVID-19 is not as deadly as claimed following his death.

The late Herman Cain’s Twitter account, now supervised by family and friends, tweeted Sunday that the coronavirus which killed Cain in July is “not as deadly as the mainstream media made it out to be.”

The tweet was later deleted, but the account tweeted other messages questioning the risk of the coronavirus which has infected more than 6 million people in the U.S. and killed more than 182,000, including Cain, a former Republican presidential candidate.

“It looks like the virus is not as deadly as the mainstream media first made it out to be,” Cain’s account tweeted, according to reported screenshots of the since deleted post.

The deleted tweet was sent along with a link to a story published by The Western Journal on Sunday reporting that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that 94 percent of cases of those who died from COVID-19 had underlying conditions.
