Congresswoman Jackie Speier wants Trump to cancel all rallies; Because: Coronavirus
American Thinker ^ | 03/09/2020 | Carol Brown

Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) is busy peddling lies and making wild recommendations.  She believes that Trump should cancel all his rallies because by not doing so "he is willing to place even his most ardent supporters at risk."


She backs up her claim by stating that "we're supposed to stay six feet away from other persons in order to mitigate the exchange of those viruses."

Say what?

I thought perhaps I'd missed something.  Maybe I lost more than an hour with Daylight Savings Time.  Did the Coronavirus Task Force announce this six-foot rule for everyone?

Apparently not.

Now, just to clarify, six feet is a relevant figure with respect to the virus, which can travel that far if an infected person coughs or sneezes.  So it is recommend to maintain this minimum distance if you're around someone who's sick.  (Granted, it's hard to know who's sick, given the lengthy incubation period, which is one of multiple factors that makes this situation quite a mess.)

Dr Fauci is urging those at high risk (elderly and/or those with serious underlying health conditions) to implement social distancing to reduce their chance of contracting the virus.  But as of this writing, no medical expert in the United States has stated that healthy individuals are supposed to stay at least six feet away from other human beings.  Right now, healthy Americans are free to make these choices for themselves, and obviously, many industries have been impacted, as many Americans are understandably scaling back certain activities.

But it's one thing for each individual to make such choices for himself and his family and quite another thing for the powers that be to essentially quarantine every individual in the entire country in his own little bubble, which is what Speier was asserting.

Do you think people will still go to the rallies in such numbers, if the virus escalates seriously?

I don’t ‘do’ crowds to start with; but if people stayed away out of fear of illness, the dems would make hay out of low-attendance rallies.

So, the Democrat Candidates won’t be having any Campaign Appearances and Rallies now?

I’m worried about catching Commie-Virus from listening to Bernie and catching Dementia listening to Biden.

I am quite touched at the very deep concern that Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) is showing for Trump supporters all of a sudden. Usually she wishes they were all dead.

Yep, there's the rub. It might be that toning down the rallies will become necessary, but if so, that holds for all rallies. And other mass gatherings, like baseball games.

But the Dems would like Trump to not campaign while they do. Anything to cobble up a little political advantage.

Dems should cancel all events. Republicans are not cowards; we will be at the Trump rallies.

People should stop shaking hands until this is over. It’s the most obvious, sensible, and low-impact adjustment to make under these circumstances. Bow slightly as the Japanese do.

Putting on the tin-foil hat: which is one of the many, many reasons why the DS released the crap to start with. Whoever, or whatever, made this crap and released it, needs to injected with it and then left in a cage to rot.
