President Trump has described his campaign rallies as “fun,” “wonderful,” “the Greatest Show on Earth,” and, of course, “BIG.”
An effort to calculate whether those events have increased the spread of the coronavirus in the United States suggests that “contagious” and “deadly” would also apply.
A rigorous attempt to gauge the after-effects of 18 of the president’s reelection rallies, all held in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, suggests they have led to more than 30,000 additional cases and at least 700 additional deaths.
Those casualties would not have occurred if the campaign events had not taken place, according to a team of Stanford researchers. Media coverage of the rallies made clear there was little effort to follow guidelines about social distancing, and mask use was optional for attendees, who typically numbered in the thousands. (Indeed, face coverings were disparaged by the president on several occasions.)

Pay no attention to the El Segundo Times, they can’t even figure out what city they are based in.
“And how many deaths did the Stafford research estimate for BLM protestors?” I hope you know that this statement reveals the fact that you are a racist. How many of these “researchers” were pro-Trump and how many never-Trumpers? Is it necessary to guess. This is why bogus science has lost its following. “I heard it was 7,000,000 deaths.” Why not? “Today it is estimated by them to surpass 7,000,000,000 ( The whole world has died of covid cuz of bad orange man. )” This will be reported on on CNN later.
My own personal investigation into the matter found that those who were Covid positive and attended the rally were miraculously cured, and that everyone else was rendered immune. I even used numbers, just to be sure it was scientific and everything.
“Study estimates”.
Further proof that journalists are not even close to the right side of the Bell Curve.
And yes, journalists the Bell Curve exists, is true, and that’s why you idiots do not like it.
“( The whole world has died of covid cuz of bad orange man. )”
Yep, if he ever gets into the White House, we are doomed
“study estimates”
Utter BS!
This is nothing comparted to the 200,000 million killed “by Guns” in the past couple of years. Just ask JOE AND HARRIS.
ESTIMATES....just estimates.
Phooey. Headline filler.
so the interesting thing about contact tracing is it is likely NOT being used for alerting folks that they have been exposed to coronavirus (which would be a nice, proactive thing to do) BUT IS INSTEAD being used to penalize, ostracize, and punish. Typical government.
Stanford. *spit!*
I actually pondered that a while back, I’m getting up there in age and would probably be in the grave by the time the U.S. became unrecognizable but I have children, grandchildren and a great grandchild and I would do it for them.
So do you feel that this is real news or fake news?
Rioters protesters and looters no
Actually it was 7 million/s/.
I’d walk thru a crowd of Covid infected people, without a mask, to vote for Trump and save the country!
So would my wife and I and 99% of our family.
Check my tagline for most of October and at least until the election is over.
Omg these liberals are so stupid.
Give me liberty or give me Covid.
