Local doctors again ask Trump to cancel rally amidst area COVID-19 surge

Trump is scheduled to host a rally Tuesday, just one week from election day, at the La Crosse Fairgrounds Speedway, his third trip to the state in the last 10 days.

"Returning to Wisconsin, repeating a reckless, risky event like a packed campaign rally is just asking for trouble," said Dr. Robert Freedland, an opthamologist in La Crosse and state representative for the Committee to Protect Medicare.

"In all likelihood, my colleagues in La Crosse will be putting on their N95 masks and dealing with the impacts of Trump's super-spreader event long after he leaves. It is dangerous and it's unacceptable," Freedland said.
