No social distancing, few masks as crowd waits for Trump rally in Nevada

Attendees at a Nevada campaign rally for President Donald Trump on Saturday appeared to not be social distancing, and few people have been seen wearing face masks as they wait to go through security ahead of the event.

The rally-goers have been waiting in line for several hours to get inside the Minden, Nevada, airport rally site. The rally itself will be held on the tarmac of the general aviation field.

Trump supporter Maria Ainsclugh said she is excited to join a sizable crowd to hear the President speak. She said she feels safe and rejects the idea of wearing masks because she doesn't believe the pandemic is as serious as health experts say.

"I see people wearing masks on the street, avoiding getting close to other people -- it's sad. We have to be out and interacting, that's how we become immune. We need to develop immunity," Ainsclugh said.

officials and sheriff in Minden (Douglas County) have publicly stated that they won't enforce any covid restrictions.

Same sheriff that said don't call 911 if you support Black Lives Matter

such a disgrace

they are absolutely ignoring a statewide mandate to limit crowd size

embarrassment to the state of Nevada

If it wasn't for the health care workers, I would wish for them ALL to get Covid.
