Tulsa County set a third-straight daily record for new coronavirus cases this weekend just as thousands of rallygoers descend upon the city for President Donald Trump's first campaign rally in months.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health said statewide total coronavirus cases since the pandemic began in March surpassed 10,000 over the weekend, with 331 new positive cases being reported since Friday. In Tulsa County, the site of Trump's Saturday rally at the BOK Center, 136 new positive cases and one additional death were reported.

Health officials did not tie the political rally to the sudden burst of new COVID-19 cases, but supporters of the president in line for the sold-out event embraced Trump's flippant view of the coronavirus pandemic overall.

One rallygoer who was decked out in Trump re-election clothing - but no mask - told MSNBC Saturday morning that he had a friend who died from coronavirus. But the man added that scientific data about health risks are simply part of a political game.

3. I imagine Trump is saying "I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I filled that stadium"

I imagine Trump is saying "I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I filled that stadium" while his staff attempts to convince the little idiot that no one can tell the future as he responds simply, "A lot of people can't, so...you're not alone."

Turns out the type of pretense can be deadly, if not just stupid.

There, I fixed it.

Sorry, but you can't use the past-tense to predict the future.
