Cullman, Ala., on Thursday declared a COVID-19-related state of emergency ahead of a scheduled Alabama GOP rally featuring former President Trump on Saturday as Alabama struggles with a surge in new infections and a shortage of hospital beds.

The state of emergency declaration allows the city to provide additional resources for the rally, a request that was made by the chief operating office of Cullman Regional Medical Center, which is experiencing overcrowding amid a spike in coronavirus-related hospitalizations.

Alabama saw 3,890 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, with a seven-day moving average of about 3,000 new infections, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Covid Data Tracker. Cullman Regional’s latest update on Wednesday showed that the hospital was treating 56 coronavirus patients, including 12 people who are on ventilators.

Cullman Lib central or something?

[freespirit2012]

Why are they still using ventilators?

[goodnesswins]

This “cases” crap needs to end.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

I don't want to hear it

[ifinnegan]

How many illegals were sent there?

[who knows what evil?]

...another ‘health care’ fascist heard from...

[RoseofTexas]

200,000 wrap your brain around that! And that’s not including Afghanistan refugees mind you!

So, let me get this straight. Where conservatives might gather, there is suddenly a Covid crisis. Where Democrats gather, (i.e. sporting events, celebrity events, entertainment venues, political events for Democrats, Democrats street protesting, burning down cities/neighborhoods by Democrats, abortion clinics, orgies, homosexual Pride parades, airplanes flying Democrats so they can escape legislative responsibilities, etc.) no such crisis is a factor. Hmm...???

Got to pump up those hospitalizations and deaths, the people are getting to back to normal.

[Guenevere]

Ignore!
The Rally will carry on!

The good MAGA folks of Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida etc will make sure this Rally is well attended!

[Pollard]

In providing additional support at Saturday’s rally, city officials are hoping to reduce demand on Cullman Regional by handling other medical and health issues on site at the event.

Never a thought to the border where the thousands coming in are traveling in bunches cheek by jowl sleeping arrangements and many are covid positive.

Oh well...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

No. Very conservative area.

This is scaremongering fron The Hill.

[MayflowerMadam]

Don’t forget those germ-free Obama birthday parties!!

[Monterrosa-24]

Not to many years ago Cullman was 100 percent White. It is still overwhelmingly White but apparently has a corrupt health care bureaucracy.

[V K Lee]

[DS] is doing their best to silence Trump. No longer
RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA

The cry now is
COVID COVID COVID
with a few variants thrown in for good measure.

Question is:
will President Trump cancel/postpone his rally for their
benefit?

Well, will he? Hopefully not! The nation needs to hear
from him.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Don’t forget those germ-free Obama birthday parties!!

Oh, forgot to include mass gatherings of pyschopaths.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Oops, also forgot to include mass rushes at the border from thousands of illegals with Covid. No major mention of how that is going to affect the health of U.S. citizens.

[shanover]

The “cases” is the new death and these hospitals are absolutely evil in keeping up the COVID crisis lie for revenue and political considerations. Until I see otherwise, the new cases are the vaxxed and our new friends in the illegals.

[hsmomx3]

I had a feeling the powers that be would try to cancel the event or scale it down.
