Trump campaign adviser says rally protocols won't change after President's coronavirus diagnosis

Washington (CNN)A senior adviser to President Donald Trump's reelection campaign said Sunday there won't be any additional safety protocols for upcoming rallies following the President's hospitalization after contracting Covid-19.

Senior campaign adviser Jason Miller, when pressed by CNN's Ana Cabrera on the safety of the Trump's campaign rallies which have largely flaunted best public health practices, said the campaign would take the temperature of attendees while providing face masks and hand sanitizer -- the same steps that were in place before Trump's diagnosis.

"You know what, that's been a very safe and responsible thing to do," Miller said. "That's what we've done from the beginning of this."

His comments, paired with Trump's Sunday photo-op in which he left the hospital with his security detail so he could ride in an SUV passing supporters, raise more questions about whether the President and his campaign grasp the seriousness of a highly contagious and deadly disease.

reconsider what they do to make it a continual issue. This attitude brings more votes to Biden and democrats. Americans want their leaders NOT trying to kill them

Doing so would be admitting that Joe Biden is right.

They. simply. cannot.

be made available to his followers? Two antivirals plus a potent anti-inflammatory seems like a good call for an experimental treatment plan, and maybe they should start a clinical trial based on a case report.
