"Multiple People Have Passed Out' At FL Trump Rally

Last edited Thu Oct 29, 2020, 04:07 PM - Edit history (1)

It is death cult where you get to pretend there is no pandemic and that Trump is competent and gives a damn.

Medical personnel provided assistance to supporters of President Donald Trump during his Thursday rally in Tampa, Florida.

Reporters at the scene say that several people suffered heat related ailments.

“It’s hot hot hot at Trump’s large rally. 87 [degrees] and 71% humidity. Have noticed EMTs provide assistance for at least two people in the crowd, one carried out on a stretcher. Staffers trying get water bottles to people but quickly running out and having to restock,” said Emily Larsen of Washington Examiner.

No doubt someone will be by soon to say how we need empathy for these people and to try a little harder to understand them

And it probably gives him a thrill to see people believing his BS and endangering themselves.

Or just plain leaving, can't tell.

Still, Orange Julius Caesar is fond of steady streams - a lot of people are saying that.

It is understandable that they would have difficulty breathing with the heat and being packed in to create that visual effect that Trump loves of people crammed close together.

and them ambulance rides aren't cheap, or the e.r. visit, or the followups.

I'm sure the magats have insurance to cover all that too.

...let alone when it is hot with over 70 percent humidity. The mister probably does not help with respect to controlling the spread of covid.

I was outside on my back patio earlier, trying to get some work done and I couldn't stay out there for more than 30 minutes. Many Floridians do not stay out in the sun for long periods. Many of us have to take vitamin D supplements because of inadequate sun exposure. Most days my sun/ heat exposure is the distance from the building to my car.
