Every Trump rally where thousands of enthusiastic supporters come to see him ends up as just another way to get hysterical about the coronavirus pandemic.
Not only are many of the rally attendees maskless, but they don’t practice social distancing either. Obviously, this means that hundreds, maybe thousands of rallygoers will test positive for the coronavirus while infecting hundreds or thousands of others.
In fact, according to a Daily Caller investigation, health authorities in many areas where Trump has recently held rallies say there is no direct evidence that the rallies resulted in an increase in positive tests.
Speculation from some observers before and during the events raised alarms that they could worsen the ongoing pandemic. But a combination of publicly available statistics on the spread of Coronavirus and analysis from public health experts concludes that the president’s campaign rallies cannot be tied to spikes in Covid-19 infections in their surrounding areas, if cases in the area even increased, which not all did.
Does this mean that the media doesn’t know what they’re talking about when they write stories about the “maskless” rallies? Why yes. Yes, it does.

Ok, what about the Daily Caller? How reliable are they?
My gripe was not about Daily Caller. Whether or not they are reliable is beside the point.
Rick Moran typically uses other articles as the basis of his article. That’s the gripe. Instead of ripping off other’s articles, he should come up with something original himself.
